    // limit of item number for RSS feeds
    limit: 30,
    // if you want to use puppeteer, please install it in your project
    usePuppeteer: false,
    // customize the way to get items
    process: ($) => {
      // use $ just like using jQuery
      const list = $('#nowplaying .lists > li');
      // should use an array as return value
      const res = [];
      list.each((index, item) => {
        const linkDOM = $(item).find('.stitle a');
        const title = linkDOM.attr('title');
        const link = linkDOM.attr('href');
        const scoreDOM = $(item).find('.srating .subject-rate');
        const score = scoreDOM.text() || '-';
        res.push({
          id: link, // required
          title, // required
          link, // required
          score,
