Hi I got this setup and working well, Iām using it for a news feed, which updates every few minsā¦ How can I get the rss feed (and card on the frontend) to update every 5 mins? is that at all possible?
Thanks
Any ideas why the card doesnāt pick up the entries from the sensor?
sensors.yaml
- platform: feedparser
name: rss Feed
feed_url: āhttp://expressen.se/rss/nyheterā
date_format: ā%a, %b %d %I:%M %pā

I have an issue with this solution out of a sudden after upgrading to 2021.6.3 now.
Have not changed anything to the configuration or ui-lovelace files, also the sensor for the RSS feed is working and showing all the fields within the attributes (names unchanged as well). The list card is displayed (so also installed), title displayed but no feeds. Also tried with other sensors, but same result.
Any clue or anybody with the same issue?
I reviewed the developer tools - engineering feed entity and could see that I was no longer getting any ādescriptionsā. I since removed the following lines from the ācustom:list-cardā and now I get the images and titles successfully.

Thanks for your reply. I looked thru the list-card.js but have not found the lines you are mentioning. Can you give me a hint how to perform your fix?
Thx again!
What I am doing is a workaround to just get the images and titles as the descriptions seem to be missing from the attributes for the engineering feed. What I simply did was edit the card in my lovelace view to remove the descriptions.
Previous Card - No longer working

I hope the above helps to at least give you some information. But I guess this still needs to be fixed so we can get the description information back.
Thanks again. I have removed all style attributes and reduced the confi to itās bare minimum but still no result. I hope this gets fixed soon.
Thx for the support anyway.
Hello, Iām new to HA, but have installed a few cards from HACS. list-card dosenāt pull up for me, so I tried the lovelace guide of installing it manually and still no dice. Does anyone have a tip on how to get list-card installed?
btw Feedparser is installed and working according to developer tools.
Thank you!

Would like to know that as well!
Click the 3 dots menu in the top right corner of HACS, select custom repositories, add the github address for the list card and select āfrontendā as the category.

Hi,
I canāt get the images to show anymore. Any ideas what is wrong:
Here is my config.yaml part:
- platform: feedparser
name: Engineering Feed
feed_url: 'https://www.is.fi/rss/tuoreimmat.xml'
inclusions:
Here is my lovelace.ui part that i want to get to work:
type: custom:list-card
entity: sensor.engineering_feed
title: ''
feed_attribute: entries
row_limit: 6
columns:
- field: image
title: ' '
type: image
add_link: link
- title: ' '
field: title
add_link: link
And this is how i can get it to work without images:
type: custom:list-card
entity: sensor.engineering_feed
title: ''
feed_attribute: entries
row_limit: 6
columns:
- title: 'Uutisotsikko '
field: title
add_link: link
Any ideas how to get the pics vissible again? it used to work earlier this yearā¦

Iāve got the same error some days ago, then an update of feedparser arrived and it was working again for a few days. All of a sudden it stopped working 
Iām on HA 2021.9.4 and feedparser 0.1.7. Any ideas?
Canāt get the image out of this RSS feed. What should i use to get the image (tried already with the image parameter but no luck). Titles only works perfect.
The following is the response after the feedparser.

Nice!!
How do i integrate this in home assistant?
The easiest options would be to edit sensor.py in feedparser or copy/paste the feedparser folder then rename to create a separate component. In that case you will need to also edit manifest.json.

}
Thanks for the help.
I tried your code and suggestions , but still no image in the feed parser sensor.
You should load up the URL in your web browser and make sure their is an image in the enclosure tag.
It is an JPG image (see example). The URL is in the links part of the feed parser sensor.

Oostenrijk heeft Nederland, Groot-Brittanniƫ, Noorwegen en Denemarken
aangemerkt als gebieden waar de omikronvariant van het coronavirus heerst.
Dat betekent dat reizigers vanuit deze landen vanaf zaterdag verplicht in
quarantaine moeten na aankomst, tenzij ze een boosterprik hebben gehad en
een negatieve PCR-test kunnen tonen. Dat meldde de Oostenrijkse overheid
woensdag op een persconferentie.
