Bug Description

When I imported my newsfeeds using an OPML file and had a look through my newsfeeds, it appears that everything was imported correctly... Except for my adult/men's interest/pornographic newfeeds.

--

Reproduce:
- Download "Shorts" application from Ubuntu Store.
- Import newsfeeds using the OPML file attached to this post.
- Review list of newsfeeds using the "list" view (i.e. the vertical, scrollable list, not the tiles).

Result:
- "Men's Entertainment" category does not show in scrollable list, and manually selecting "Men's Entertainment" from the category picker (three lines in the top-left) shows no newsfeed entries at all, just a blank screen.

Expectation:
- To be able to update and read/view newsfeeds in this category.

We don't have any content filter in Shorts, maybe the Google RSS engine did that.

Try update this feed with disabling the Google RSS engine in setting page, if content shows, u can blame Google :P

Nope, no luck.

I went through this a second time, taking my time, and no content is imported in the "Men's Entertainment" category, even whilst "Use Google Search" is disabled (i.e. it's grey).

Under OTA-10, Shorts works well enough that I can actually view the specific feeds under each category I am importing before I import them with the OPML fileabove, and the category "Men's Entertainment" reckons there are no feeds to import, despite the fact that looking at the code in the OPML file above clearly shows those feeds are present (i.e. it's not a problem with the file itself).

In case you were wondering, the feeds under "Men's Entertainment" also display content in Feedly (the website), so apparently those feeds are being updated, ruling out a lack of updated content...

"Men's Entertainment" is the ONLY category which shows no feeds on import, and the feeds under "Men's Entertainment" are the ONLY ones I am having problems with.

I found a reason, the OPML parser does not show "only" the adult's list, trying to fix the parser.

Pls try rename the category "Men's Entertainment" to "Men Entertainment", it works for me :P

I tried to name it "Mens Entertainment", and it still shows no content when I select this particular category... But if I manually refresh the blank category, content is displayed.

Clearly the issue is with the apostrophe in the category title, and presumably this would affect any category title that has such a symbol in its name...

I've rewrite the OPML parse component, now there will be no "special symbol" issue anymore.

@Joey Chan (qqworini),

I will test this with OTA-x and post my results, when I see the update roll through...

Thanks bud!
