This should not be shared publicly and it should look like: https://www.camnotifier.com/mycams/rss/[hash]/rss.xml To test it, after setting the feed URL up, add to monitoring a cam that's already online, you should then receive a notification. Could you share a screenshot of how you have set this up and please make sure you hide your RSS feed URL. Thank you!

Posts: 709 Join Date: Dec 2010	Hi, just testing these RSS clients myself and I cannot reproduce the issue. Any chance you could provide a screenshot of the actual error message and also provide some details about your operating system and send these to [email protected] ? Or use the support option on the contact page: https://www.camnotifier.com/page/contact Thank you!

Posts: 709 Join Date: Dec 2010	I could find some issue with these clients (RSS News Notifier and Feedly), they do not notify for the same cam going live a second time. I believe they look at the cam URL when determining if the "article" is unique. Will have to include in the cam URL a timestamp parameter to make this work.

I guess that issue of nothing-after-first-notification is reproducible on any of RSS clients in existence. I got this problem with newsboat (CLI) and Feedbro (Firefox). First notification happens and then nothing... I second that a timestamp parameter would help the RSS client to differentiate new from old cam URLs. Is your code on github? I could eventually sent a PR
