Inappropriate?Hey ben,
I'm not familiar with any RSS parsing PHP scripts, unfortunately. But I am curious about about what might be failing with Cablecast's RSS feed output. As far as I know, it should be emitting valid RSS markup. Here's a link to the results from the w3c feed validator service.
Do you have an example of the odd tags, or how exactly it is breaking for you? If there's an issue with the feed, I'd like to fix it up so you can use whatever feed parsing library you'd like. :-)

I’m curious

Inappropriate?well i guess i shouldn't call them odd tags, and it is valid. the issue i'm having is making my RSS reader read the feed correctly.
Here is the website http://northandovercam.org -- right on the homepage. It shows the show durations but not the show date or anything. -
Inappropriate?Hey ben,
The show durations are in the "description" element of each item in the RSS feed. It looks like you're displaying both "title" and "description" on your page.
The actual show start date/time is listed in the "pubDate" element of each item:
If you can get your feed parser to display the "pubDate" element, then I think it should behave as you'd like.
Does this help at all?
-John
I’m hopeful

Inappropriate?that does help... if theres anyone here that has an actuall script that would be great too!
I’m getting there....

Inappropriate?Ben,
I wrote a script a few years ago that pulls RSSSchedule information and outputs an HTML table with dates, start times, and CG titles. If you have a basic understanding of PHP it shouldn't be too hard to set up and customize.
There's a link in this thread:

Good luck!
