RSS Ticker fails on builds after v21.0a2-Omega

[kuraikaze]

Bug report

Describe the bug

RSS Ticker no longer displays along bottom of Kodi window.

Expected Behavior

Scrolling display of items from RSS feed sources.

Actual Behavior

According to debug log feed URLs are seemingly fetched by Kodi, but fail to display silently with no further log entries until the idle connection is closed after a while.

Possible Fix

Issue seems likely to relate to commit for migration of RSS Ticker functions to tinyxml2:-
https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/commit/fe6a7b1ed0de937b0b39c7c756dec0ab8c04f6a6

Parent commit for TinyXML2 introduction:-
https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/commit/9e983ed0449aaf3007d8bfa3261056b120d84188

Commit 9e983ed mentions that "Currently tinyxml2 and 1 can coexist peacefully" - perhaps revert the RSS Ticker files to use tinyxml1 ?

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Install a Kodi build later than v21.0a2-Omega
2. In Settings/Interface activate "Show RSS news feeds"
3. Have a set of valid RSS feeds in Kodi/userdata/RssFeeds.xml

Debuglog

The debuglog can be found here: kodi.log debuglog
