Aggregator not getting feed content, perhaps a bug?
docmattman - November 13, 2009 - 06:03
I have the feed aggregator setup to get content from the following feed:
http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/base/users/youtube/uploads
This feed contains 25 items from YouTube. When I click the "update items" in the feed aggregator, it won't give me more than 1 item. If I open the same url in IE, it shows all 25 items like it should. I can't see to get Drupal to get the proper content from this (and similar) feeds. Can anyone else try this feed and see if it works? Or tell me what (if anything) I might be doing wrong here?

are you running cron?
Yes, I've run the cron and
Yes, I've run the cron and clicked the "update items" from the feed aggregator module. Neither seem to work. I've also loaded this same feed into 2 other Drupal sites and have the same results. I can't seem to get more than 1 item. I have a few other feeds loaded that work perfectly fine, but this one doesn't.
Can someone else try adding
Can someone else try adding this feed to see if they get the same results? I've tried it on 3 different Drupal installations now and they all give me the same thing, just 1 out of the 25 feed items...

confirmed only one item. Why this would be from a single feed I've no idea.

not sure. Fact is, other feeds work correctly and this one don't. The source is a jumbled mess and not easy to read through. I tried to find some inconsistency or something broken with it that other sites may be looking over that Drupal can't.
It could be something in the feed itself. like the voting mechanism or something. It's an atom feed and there are other modules rather than the core aggregator that can be used in the contrib downloads area.
Can you recommend a different
Can you recommend a different aggregator module that may handle this better?

A (very) quick run through of the modules in contrib:
aggregation
feedapi
atom
feedburner
I'm sure there are others but that should be a good enough start. drupalmodules.com is a decent place to research modules for drupal as well.
