I noticed Fox Politics was new. "Recently added."
I sent Fox Politics RSS to a few of my channels, but it has no content when it plays.

I noticed Fox Politics was new. "Recently added."
I sent Fox Politics RSS to a few of my channels, but it has no content when it plays.
"Recently Added" in this case was August 2020. Typically when this sort of thing happens, the RSS feed is either down, moved, or gone.
One of the problems with these types of widgets is that fewer and fewer sites are syndicating their content with openly accessible data feeds like RSS and instead are doing it only through closed systems like Twitter and Facebook.
In this case, it appears that the feed has moved, and is now using https rather than http, which some chumby do not completely support. I'll see if I can get the widget updated.
I used to use RSS very heavily, through an old but excellent RSS reader called Sharpreader.
I don't use it now. Maybe I should look.
One thing, most sites that are done with Wordpress seem to have RSS, it comes with it.
Of course that would mostly not be high end sites.
Thanks for looking into that.
OK, it turns out that this widget was created by a third party, user "drexful", so I can't fix it directly - try commenting on the widget and see if you get a response. If not, I might be able to replace it with a different one.
