RSS Feed issue 1.3.2

I don't seem to understand this issue. When I tried to use default layout that uses rss feed from Xibo that seems to work.
I tried to change it to CNN or BBC feed, it worked.

But When I created my own layout with three zones, two media zones with swf and the other with RSS.
I gave all of them 30 seconds.

The RSS feed never shows up, I double checked everything. I even checked xlf file to see if it is scheduled, it showed in the xml too with duration , RSS link etc.. The client doesn't show in the display for some reason.

When I tried to schedule a default lay out with just one RSS. The client doesn't work at all, it cannot download xlf or any background files..it just hangs at the initial xibo splash screen.

<options><direction>up</direction><copyright/><scrollSpeed>30</scrollSpeed><updateInterval>5</updateInterval><uri>http%3A%2F%2Frss.cnn.com%2Frss%2Fcnn_world.rss</uri><numItems/><takeItemsFrom>start</takeItemsFrom><durationIsPerItem>0</durationIsPerItem></options>

Can you guide me , please?.

Thanks,
Venny
