5 duplicate entries on TED's FeedBurner feed - ID: 2364354

Last Update: Comment added ( azimout )

Details:

I don't know if this has already been reported (couldn't find it with the
keyword "duplicate" and its variants), but this feed keeps duplicating
items every few days or so: http://feeds.feedburner.com/TEDTalks_video

It frequently brings up old items as if they were knew and creates a lot of
confusion/noise. I'm using liferea 1.4.22 from getdeb.net, it seems it uses
xulrunner 1.9.

What could be the problem?

Date: 2009-04-14 13:30 Sender: azimout I have been able to reproduce this for the following feed: http://rss.zdnet.fr/feeds/rss/actualites/ This with liferea 1.4.26 on Ubuntu Jaunty
Date: 2009-01-08 01:27 Sender: kiddokiddo Hm. AFAIK, I still see this on 1.4.23, Note that this bug can take longer than a week to appear, it seems to be quite random :( Tonight, I will mark all of its unread items as read and see if old stories crop up again as duplicates in the coming weeks.
Date: 2009-01-07 21:59 Sender: llando I have now subscribed to the feed for some weeks and could not reproduce your effect (using 1.5). Do you still see this?
Date: 2008-11-30 14:43 Sender: kiddokiddo well, the interesting thing is that I already had the cache setting set to "unlimited" for this feed!
Date: 2008-11-30 14:38 Sender: llando Ah... it's an overly large feed (more than 100 items). Merging can be unpredictable in such a case. Liferea has a default cache setting of 100 items. All other items will be dropped, if the feed content varies (older items are edited, some deleted...) you might have reappearing items. Please try a cache size significantly larger then the feed size.
Date: 2008-11-30 14:28 Sender: llando That's a different case then. If you had it for a longer time let's look into it. I'll subscribe to the feed and see if I can reproduce it.
Date: 2008-11-30 14:23 Sender: kiddokiddo Well, I experienced this bug for as long as I can remember (many months, or maybe forever) on that feed, it was not 1.4.22-specific. Does that count? (for now, this is the version I'm running as it is the latest packaged .deb I could find for ubuntu 8.04).
Date: 2008-11-30 13:53 Sender: llando Please ensure you are running 1.4.22d or later as 1.4.22 introduced a merging bug.
