Wanted to let you both know that I’ve updated the plugin as follows:

instead of my include statements calling the depreciated file rss-functions.php, I am having it call the newer rss.php file for those rss parsing functions.

I am thinking that solves issues on both accounts – but please let me know if there’s anything else I can do.

RS, I considered putting your changes into the stable version of the plugin but the rss.php file included with wordpress does maintain the magpie rss functionality. So, at this point I think I’ll keep it as is.

Thanks to you both, I hope you enjoy the plugin.

I have never heard of that – and I’m running the plugin on wordpress 2.9.2.

as long as you’ve activated the netflix plugin you should be good to go…

Is there any other error text of any kind? or is that all we get?

just for testing’s sake you could de-activate all other plugins temporarily and see if that changes anything. Let me know if that produces anything but at this point I don’t have any other ideas besides that.

Is there any kind of plugin that might interfere with this one, or one maybe I do not have activated that I should? or any ideas at all…I tried installing this on earlier versions of Wordpress 2.9 or 8 and it gave me same error.

But you really have to look at the word I chose to place within quotes…”complete.” Simply “beating” Trials HD isn’t really a possibility, because until you get gold medals on all the events, you cannot reach 100% for the individual groupings (tourneys, etc).

It’s like trying to complete GTA4 with 100% of everything. Sure, you beat the story mode, but how much time and pain are you willing to sacrifice to get the 100%?

I can tell all of you right now that the hardest game I’ve ever tried to deal with in this type of situation was Contra: Shattered Soldier. The game mocks you and punishes you for continuing. Its requirements to allow the player to actually play all the levels and see all the endings are unfathomably difficult. And, unlike Trials, you can’t really get far enough to see everything the game offers, so as to run through trial & error. If you make it to the final level/boss ONCE, then that’s the first time you get to be there, so you’ll likely die a lot. From there, you can’t continue, because you won’t get the full ending. So then, you have to play another faultless game to make it back to the final level/end boss just to try and memorize the pattern. Then, and only then, do you get some options of trial & error.

So I will say, yes, the Marathon Achievement is probably more difficult than CoD Veteran, but what happens when a player wants to beat CoD without dying? Is that more than simply “beating” the game? Vanberge literally defeated Trials. He more than ‘beat’ the game, he beat the game designers themselves.

In the end, it comes down to context and what counts as “completing” I guess…

I’ve not had any problems since upgrading to wordpress 2.9

What say you vanbergs – If somebody said to you: “Would you rather beat Modern Warfare on Veteran; or get the Marathon achievement in Trials” – which would you consider to be a more realistic venture?
