RSS Feed Description doesn't work

Hello,

I have made my own RSS Feed with PHP but when I use the Xibo Ticker function to display it on our screen. The Title is displayed but the description and pubdate is not.

Any ideas? This is my RSS output:

<rss version="2.0">
<channel>
<title>Xibo CMS</title>
<language>nl-NL</language>
<item>
<title>Test Michel</title>
<link>http://www.test.nl/CMS/rss.php</link>

<title>Test Xibo</title>

Hier kan de communicatie afdeling een bericht plaatsen en dit wordt weergeven op alle Xibo schermen.

<description>Dit is een test berichtje voor Xibo.</description>
<pubDate>24-07-2015</pubDate>
</item>
</channel>
</rss>

And I use the [Title] and [Description] tags in Xibo.

Hi,

it looks fine, it is possible that few things are missing, could please go to this site:
https://validator.w3.org/feed/check.cgi
try to validate your rss feed link and fix everything on the list there?

Only clear problem for me is in the ‘pubDate’

‘The value specified must meet the Date and Time specifications as defined by RFC822, with the exception that the year SHOULD be expressed as four digits.’

so for example this format is like this:
Thu, 23 Jul 2015 11:52 EDT
Mon, 27 Jul 2015 11:15 GMT

perhaps because of that you can’t display it and perhaps it is also causing problems with ‘description’

Aaah got it working right now.
I used the W3C offline validator because this RSS is not public for the internet.

And this should also be on the top:

<rss xmlns:atom="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom" version="2.0">

Cool :smile:
I am glad that it is working for you now.
