Ticker fails is LINK attribute is missing

[Dan Garner]

It would seem that 1.4.0 requires that the RSS feed contain <link></link> for all item fields or the following error is generated.

Rss - LoadRssIntoTempFile
Message:Index was out of range. Must be non-negative and less than the size of the collection.Parameter name: index.

It would be nice if the new version did not require this field, as some of our RSS sources do not contain this field.

I have included a sample of XML that doesn't work, verses a sample of XML that does. Sorry I can't provide a server, our servers using this are internal only.

That will do very nicely, thanks.

I have replaced the RSS feed parsing library which should provide better support for missing elements. If you could download the patch and extract the files over your existing client installation and let me know if it has improved the situation.

Patch appears to have worked. No errors and fully functional from multiple RSS sources, including our sources without <link>. This just made my day :) Thanks for the quick fix
