Greetings All,

I’m attempting to use GeoRSS widget in Flex Viewer 3.6 and ATOM feed http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/feed/v1.0/summary/2.5_week.atom Widget says: “A problem occurred while parsing the RSS feed. Error 1009”

Previous feed http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/feed/atom/2.5/week doesn’t work. Exploring previous discussions have no effect. Could you please share georss config xml, if possible.  My georss config xml looks like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<configuration>

<source>http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/feed/v1.0/summary/2.5_week.atom.xml</source>

    <fields>

        <field name="updated" alias="Date"/>

    </fields>

    <titlefield>title</titlefield>

    <linkfield>link</linkfield>

    <refreshrate/>

    <zoomscale>100000</zoomscale>

    <symbols>

        <picturemarkersymbol url="assets/images/i_target.png"/>

    </symbols>

</configuration>

Any suggestion would be appreciated

I am having the same issue, but unfortunately don't have a good answer.

I spoke with USGS and it appears that they changed the format of the feed which may of resulted in the older widget not parsing the feed correctly.  I attempted to adjust the xml file in numerous ways and then opted to stop using the GeoRSS and started pulling data used in the ESRI Public Information Earthquake map from the following source:

LiveFeeds/USGS_Seismic_Data (MapServer)

I picked through and added the layers I wanted and used the TOCGroup widget to separate the layers into themed groups, etc.

Hello George,

Thank you for sharing your experience and source. I'm using atom feed like operational layer that shows location of earthquake epicenter, but unfortunately in this case I cannot configure pop-ups. Your source is very useful. If you search out solution of Georss atom feed trouble, please let me know.

Hello, has anybody found a solution to use the new USGS atom feed in the GeoRSS widget for the Flex Viewer? instead of using the USGS map layer (LiveFeeds/USGS_Seismic_Data (Mapserver).
