I added a report of this problem to someone elses post about almost the same problem, but didn't get any response over the last several days, so I thought I would start a new topic... hope that isn't too evil.
The problem I'm having is that after adding 10 or 12 feeds to my soup (soup.gary.vaughan.pe at the moment), several of them stop updating after a few hours. If I delete the feed and associated entries and re-add them, sometimes they stick but others stop updating again after a few hours. I don't seem to be able to get all of my feeds working at once, and starting each day be deleting and re-adding half of my feeds is not fun :(
To help you find the problem, I've left the non-updating feeds untouched for a day or two - you'll notice that facebook, twitter and one of my blog feeds (via yahoo pipes to filter out other authors) do not show the most recent posts, and yet others (flickr, weatherrss, picasa) still seem to be working.
I love the UI and look of soup, but it's a great shame that it is so unreliable at the moment. If there's anything I can do to help (either in general if the problem is at your end, or something I need to do differently if this is a pilot error) please don't hesitate to get in touch.
I import a couple of my feeds through yahoo pipes, and would like to filter others through pipes too. Unfortunately the feed icon and the website readers are taken to in this case is always the yahoo pipe source :(
I would really like some means of overriding the icon and feed destination link to show the originating site.
first of all thanks for the beatiful work you have made,...
I want to import items from another blog in my soup, but not by RSS because it will only take some of items, not all the archive... same thing for flickr...
like swurl or second brain, they import items from the begining of there uses.
Did you thing is a feature you will develop once ..?!
I just found an issue with the feed importer. I was having some updating issues with vimeo so I removed the feed and all the entries and imported it again. Everything worked fine, the issue arose some hours later when all vimeo entries showed up on soup again. I believe that happened because the vimeo import was scheduled before I delete it, and the scheduler doesn't know about it.
I also noticed many delicious entries are duplicated in my soup too, maybe a similar situation occurred with the delicious import.
Another idea is to avoid the importer from importing something it already did in the past..
Trying to add my twitter feed to soup but it just isn’t happening. Keep getting this error message:

We're sorry, but something went wrong. Our trusty debug robot just sent e-mail telling us about this problem. If you can give us further details about what happened, please write to us on our feedback page!

Can you let me know how I can get this fixed? Also, because I have tried to add it a couple of times, I now have repeat historical twitter entries – they’re showing up more than once and making my soup feed look dumb. Is there a way I can remove these old entries and start afresh? Thanks
Feed importing isn't working at all - twitter is stuck and shows a red bar - delicious is stuck on 'starting to import. Also sometimes when I go to the feed import area I don't get any options other than -
I think YouTube favorites should be imported as videos, like Vimeo favorites are. Importing them as links gets the job done, but I think videos would be more appropriate. :)
I feel that feeds in "Me Elsewhere" should have a timestamp of when was the last fetch and when it will be the next one for each particular feed. I was asking myself today why my vimeo feed wasn't updated for a day now, and don't have a way of knowing why... :1
... or something like: "Updated 2 hours ago, fetching every 5 hours"
If you repost something somebody else imported from an RSS feed, the result is suboptimal:
* The post will still have the original favicon instead of the generic text/quote one.
* The post icon will link to the original website instead of the post, making it very hard to get the link.
* The favicon will be hotlinked from the original website: they pay with their traffic for a possibility to track me.
That's especially weird in case you create a reaction which doesn't have much in common with the original post, like this one.
I've added 4 RSS feeds and seem to have tapped out the maximum number. My page is at http://pyrmont.soup.io/ and I've added RSS feeds for my blogs, my Muxtape and my Facebook posted items. I wanted to add my Facebook status updates as well but when I click on the drop down menu RSS feed is no longer available to select.
Is the maximum number 4? Is there any reason for this?
I would love to have media content from source feeds embedded on soup rather than being just links to it. video.stumbleupon.com feed is a good example.
I'm trying to import a feedburner-modified feed (feeds.lolcode.com/lolcode), and I get a "steck level too deep" error whenever I try it. The underlying feed is a little unusual (DokuWiki Blog plugin), but FeedBurner really seems to smooth out any oddities. Any idea about this error message?
My soup’s items do not display properly in friendfeed; I’m not sure though if friendfeed isn’t parsing the feed incorrectly or if the feed itself is incorrect.
Whatever the reason might be, images don’t show up in friendfeed; it only shows "(Image)".
I'm thinking a javascript that generates links to the last 5 to 10 posts on my soup, similar to offerings in google reader, twitter (badges), tumbl, and del.icio.us.
