The feeds on my site update only once. Whether I manually refresh them or they are refreshed via cron, they pick up 15-30 of the oldest articles then stop picking up new article. Permenently. If I create a new feed node with the same feed address, it grabs some newer items, but they do not appear on the site. They appear in the content section of the admin interface, but they refuse to show up in the front end. (I am using the node processor to turn them into nodes.) No matter how many times I refresh, they always claim there are no new items, yet when I view the feed manually, I see there are hordes of new items.

What gives?

I have tried uninstalling all Feedapi modules, deleting ALL nodes related to feedapi, feeds and articles and reinstalling and setting everything up again. Same story.
I have installed the simpletest module, and it seems to work fine, though I am not sure how to use it. There is no menu option and I get no error messages.

What other information can I provide to help this issue?

I have tried switching parsers, but it does not seem to work....

For instance for this feed: http://rss.sina.com.cn/news/allnews/ent.xml

I can only pick up the oldest 15 articles, and that's it! Once it has those 15, it always claims there is no more new articles... looking at the feed, it seems they only keep 15 articles at a time in there, but new ones are constantly bumped in and old ones out. Once I get those first 15, that's it, they are stuck, nothing newer comes in.

Seems like someone else has had a similar issue with no resolution: http://drupal.org/node/226615

I have confirmed this behavior with the FeedAPI playground site: http://feedapi.novaak.net/?q=node/24613

Note that in the core aggregator, this feed works just fine.

Well, that particular feed at the playground is refreshed after the feed creation. The latest item has just arrived: Fri, 04/11/2008 - 06:52 .
The first item has arrived: Tue, 04/08/2008 - 16:14
Well, at my desktop RSS reader, i checked out this feed. I refreshed manually at feedapi.novaak.net (it got 15 new items!) and i fetched the feed at akregator and the newest feed items were exactly the same. So it seems that this feed at the playground just works.
When have you tried it out? Maybe there was an older version of feedapi at the playground

I'm experiencing the same problem with FeedAPI 5.x-1.1 with a fresh installation of Drupal. I tried several feeds from several sources. Like hypothesis, I also tried multiple parsers (initially the Common syndication parser, then the Simplepie parser). To further complicate matters, now that I've switched parsers, when I try to add a new feed, the Feed URL isn't getting saved.

Same here. Refresh doesnt work with SimplePie (tested on Flickr and YouTube feeds). It only refreshes after deleting files from files\simplepie_cache.
With Parser Common Syndication everything seems to work fine

Hey there I'm having a similar problem but I'm using the simpleFeed module (Drupal 5) the feeds work ok the problem is that it doesn't include the latest feeds first. I'm using views where I created one view for one particular feed, when I go and see the view I can see the feed but it doesn't display the newest feeds at top. I already tried different settings for the views but still no luck, when cron runs every half hour some of the new feeds are displayed but the old ones still appear first, or it will mix latest feeds with really old ones. Any idea on how to fix this??

Thanks
