Hi .. I'm trying to grab data from https://www.reverbnation.com/rss/artist_shows_rss/stevekirchuk which is my show rss feed and I am getting an error in HTML 5 Bindings but when I test the feed it displays correctly ... I can also save the feed as an csv .. can I use that as a local file data source in HTML 5 Bindings? Thanks !

Hello Steve, HTML5 Data Bindings requires a JSON data source, it does not work with RSS feeds.
