feed API

This morning I noticed that my site when accessed through http was slow to crawl. Couldn't get in or do anything.

When I finally got in and took a look at the Drupal Reports there was an Error related to the refactored feed from our Telvue:

Message simplexml_load_file(): http://173.76.78.19:3000/thu in /var/www/dev.eastoncat.org/sites/all/modules/om_airing/modules/om_airing_feed/om_airing_feed.module on line 59.

We must have hundreds and hundreds of these messages in a very short period of time last night.

Is this slowing my site performance to a crawl?

I am having a real tough time trying to import rss images over into individual nodes..I CAN do video and kudos to
http://www.drupaltherapy.com/node/34

for some great tutorials..I have tried several suggestions outlined in
http://groups.drupal.org/node/16799

My source is the following http://www.u2start.com/rss/photos/

I have even tried the new feedapi scraper-but I do not know how to set that up.

I'm working on a project that involves refactoring a content site while upgrading from Drupal 4.x to 5.x. One of the pieces I thought would be somewhat easy—displaying recent posts from blog feeds—has turned into a roadblock.

The desired outcome is to have the latest post from each of several external (i.e., non-Drupal) blogs show up such that the title of the blog links to the blog and the title of the post links to the post.

Let me describe where we started, what we tried, and where we wound up.

Here is a quick recipe that uses Drupal's Feed API, Feed Element Mapper, CCK and the Embedded Media Field to create independent embedded video nodes on your Drupal site by RSS. This is my first screencast and first contribution to the Drupal Dojo, I followed the specs on the other discussions as best I could, consider adding this to the Dojo video pool.
