MRSS feed not updating!!!

I have website the creates automatic rss feeds based on what a user uploads, my problem is the brightsign is not updating when the mrss feed changes. I don't see any options for setting the update frequency for an mrss feed, I do see it for an rss feed and that is working correctly. If I unplug the brightsign and plug back in it will update, but obviously I can't do this on a regular basis. I am using the latest firmware 3.2.67 and the latest software 2.0.0.42. I've read all the similar cases on your forums and tried all the recommendations. I've tried all the firmware versions I could find on the web up to 3.2.68 and different versions of bright author. I'm using the brightsign 210 http://www.northhillscc.com/member/flyers/brightsign/lobby/rss/nhcclobbymrss.xml  --- not working http://www.northhillscc.com/member/flyers/brightsign/lobby/rss/nhcclobbyrss.xml

Please help, I need this to work. Also do I need to sign up for brighsign network manager, I decided to use brightsign for the reason there is no required subscription service, and was comfortable hosting my own brightsign network. I would like a login for the brightsign network manager just for testing. Sean Brueckner sean@expertpcservice.com

    I've asked someone to take a look at your feed. I know we've seen this issue before and each time it was something about the feed that needed to be updated for the brightsign to advance properly.

    I can get you a brightsign network login, but that's our hosted service.

    You can use any webserver for updates, and that's free, but the brightsign network is the hosted service. I can still get you a login if you wish.

    Here's the reply I received from one of my colleagues on this topic....

    This MRSS feed seems to be an Atom based feed.



    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?>

    - <rss version="2.0" xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" xmlns:atom="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom">

    - <channel>





    Tell him to create a feed with the following tags instead:

    My feeds validate, according to feedvalidator.org,  Please provide me with the entire proper syntax for mrss feeds that work with the brightsign, in the simplest form.  I am a coldfusion programmer and need to code my website to create these feeds by indexing a directory.  All I needs is the proper syntax,  is there a way to configure how often the mrss feed is updated in brightauthor, or does the updating frequency for rss also go for mrss. The partial xml code you provided does list the items,and is almost identical to my code but doesn't have the entire feed.
