Version: 1.2.2 (using KDE KDE 3.5.2) Installed from: Compiled From Sources Compiler: gcc (GCC) 3.4.5 (Gentoo 3.4.5-r1, ssp-3.4.5-1.0, pie-8.7.9) OS: Linux When a feed specifies an interval for update checking, aKregator should use it as the default. As of aKregator 1.2.2, it apparently uses the global check interval as default regardless of what the feed specifies.
Right, this is mostly a problem of the parser, as the information is not parsed by librss (skipDays and skipHours are, but other formats are not).
In Akregator 4.9.2, when you add a new feed, you can define whether to use the default Akregator interval, or a custom interval for the feed. If I understand the issue right, against the latest Akregator version, this would mean that, when adding a new feed, in case the feed defines an update rate, that update rate should be enabled by default, instead of Akregator‘s. Is that right? Also, can you provide a link to a news feed that suggest an update interval, in order to confirm this is not already the case, and test the feature when implementing it?

Thank you for helping us make KDE software even better for everyone!
Sorry for the delay. It appears to still be a problem under Akregator 4.13.3. If you want me to test under KDE 5, let me know and I'll try to get access to a machine running something newer than Kubuntu 14.04 LTS. You can use http://feeds.ssokolow.com/ssokolow_blog?format=xml for testing. It's handled by FeedBurner and provides the following RSS 1.0 elements: <sy:updatePeriod>hourly</sy:updatePeriod> <sy:updateFrequency>1</sy:updateFrequency> (Where xmlns:sy="http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/syndication/" ) If you also need something to test against which uses RSS 2.0's `ttl` element, let me know and I'll dig something up or craft a test case.
Woops. Forgot to set the status.
