#163 Feed with no Items,but there are(646)
Hi,
American McGee's Rss Feed wont work in Feedreader.
It says: 'Feed doesn't contain any Items', but there are!
Here is the RSS-Link:

Can somebody confirm this?

The feed is not well-formed.
The feed is XML, without a character set being set, which
means that it's UTF-8 by default. Look at line 90 - the section
that says "... electronic arts in December <eumlaut>00...".
The <eumlaut>00 is malformed UTF-8, which means that the
entire document is not well-formed and must be rejected by
the parser. Suggest you report this to the feed maintainer.
In addition, the 0.91 specification explicitly states that 'we
also are not allowing any HTML markup', so the interpreted
stream that comes out of the feed shouldn't be processed as
HTML (which is what FeedReader does - this is a separate
bug).
Originally RSS 0.91 had, IIRC a limit on the length of the
elements, including 'description' of around 500 characters. It
may be that FeedReader is also unhappy about the large
description field.
