There must be more errors before that log entry.

Hi, so did you check the server logs as the message tells you?

You can do that via the admin settings.

I had looked on the server in the nextcloud.log file; not in the admin settings... Thanks for directing me to the right place.

I think this is the right section.... Looks like it choked on this feed: https://www.decential.io/features?format=rss (Looks like it moved here: https://www.decential.io/articles?feature=rss ... but still gives a parse error)

Try adding it with this link: https://www.decential.io/home?format=rss

maybe they changed the website and tech stack but this was discovered by feed-io our library.

This is not a bug if websites change and redirects are not put in place we can't do anything.

Future versions of news will also show the error in the web-ui thanks to @wofferl 👍

I think with that and the link I provided this case is closed.
