Two Feed Issues

problem
1

Hello. Two issues:

  1. Feed for https://www.wbaltv.com/topstories-rss does not work. This url works on other readers.
  2. Feed for balloonjuice.com does not automatically load new stories; I have to manually refresh it to receive updates. This issue does not occur on other readers.

Thanks.

https://www.balloon-juice.com/feed/ works fine for me generally, though NewsBlur’s feed statistics show a bunch of failures to parse over the last 2 days intermixed with successes.

https://www.wbaltv.com/topstories-rss appears legit, but as I add it to newsblur, Site Statistics shows 451 (unavailable for legal reasons) responses. :frowning:

Not available in France either

Thanks for the feedback. I continue to have no luck with balloonjuice. The screenshot below shows that the feed address is “not an RSS feed”. This exact address is working flawlessly on two other readers, even after deleting and re-adding it a few times to test. The successful attempts are when I did an instafetch.

As for the WBAL site…I am not sure what “legal reasons” encompass, but I have zero issues on the test readers.

And now, after several attempts to add, these two feeds are also giving me HTML errors (403/forbidden). Again these sites work without issues on the other test readers I used.

Any input on figuring out something to make these work would be appreciated!
Thanks.

Is this the same feed? https://www.newsblur.com/site/4714760/balloon-juice

That is the site, yes.
