Anyone else having issues with TtN lately?

Been getting this in the logs last day or so:

I’ve not made any major changes I can think of, just running updates on Ubuntu 14.04

Take a look at the RSS response in a browser, anything weird in there/does it show an XML parsing issue? The line number has probably changed now.

The only thing that looks odd to me are a cpl of really long items that have a lot of this:

o &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&#58; Audio Coding 3<br &#47;>Mode extension &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &#58; CM &#40;complete main&#41;<br &#47;>Format settings, Endianness &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&#58; Big<br &#47;>Codec ID &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &#58; A&#95;AC3<br &#47;>Duration &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &#58; 23mn 9s<br &#47;>Bit rate mode &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&#58; Constant<br &#47;>Bit rate &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &#58; 3

That’s just a random chunk I grabbed.

  entity is a html entity and isn’t defined for xml it should’ve been escaped properly. So basically it’s invalid xml/rss.

OKies, cool. Hopefully it’ll roll off then.

Thanks for the info.

It would be better if you simply notified TtN staff. All they need to do is wrap the field content in a CDATA block, I think.
