There will be more encodings added, yes, but "windows-1251"
won't be one of them - you can see a full list here:

  http://search.cpan.org/src/MSERGEANT/XML-Parser-2.34/Parser/Encodings/

See also the following, which instructs how to create your
own encodings, and then make them active within AmphetaDesk:

Upon further review, this patch handles about half the cases.  Some
sites use the <guid> as a permalink:

  <guid>http://blah.../</guid>

While others use it as permalink and actually advertise this fact:

  <guid isPermalink="yes">http://blah.../</guid>

My path only handles the first cases.  I'll work up a better one in a
few days.  Must pack for a trip.

Damned Thanksgiving day patch attempts. :-(

Okay, this patch works in all the example feeds I have now...

When you get those errors, can you tell if AmphetaDesk is still running in
the background? In Linux, you may get random crashes due to a SIGPIPE
signal. Adding the final line of the following code to the top of
/lib/AmphetaDesk.pm should ignore those signals:

  # 1. define a quickie die message at quitting time.
  # 2. stops Linux/Darwin releases from randomly die'ing.
  $SIG{INT} = sub { die "User cancelled" } unless $^O =~ /Mac/;
  $SIG{PIPE} = 'IGNORE' unless $^O =~ /Mac/;

This code has already been committed into the AmphetaDesk CVS.

Yes, I'm sure it is still running, 'cause when Opera and Firebird
doesn't work, w3m still works fine.  And I've ssh'ed in to make
sure the process is there.

This also happens with the Perl-5.6.1 in Debian stable.

Funny.  I'm trying those Windows XP at school.  Same server,
same process running, IE 6.0 works for all pages, but not
Firebird 0.7....

Is there a log level or debug switch I can turn on to see
more?
