Not working. I cannot get any stock rates from any of the sources mentioned,
and also FX rates are only working occasional.

Thanks for the info, but I have no idea how to bring this to a solution for my
problem. I do my accounting, want to update rates for FX and stocks to see the
balance. Yet bug reports are needed, trying this, doing that, branching here,
sourcing there. Most of the stuff I have an idea what is meant but no idea how
this can be used to solve the issue as a user.

Here is the website of portfolio-performance, which I use for many years and
had not a single issue with rates updates.
https://www.portfolio-performance.info/

Thats why I asked the next question, why this permanently and for many years
makes issues in kMyMoney.


I am totally unsure what to do next, kMyMoney seems to be a - sorry to say -
student playground where basic and fundamental features are not implemented or
faulty for n years. 
There are no releases coming of kMyMoney, the last one was 15 month ago! The
documentation is really bad and outdated and basically non existent therefore.
The websites are terrible complicated, just see the download page for windows
for example, feedback to a mailing list.
The whole thing therefore appears like a developers playground, and nothing
made for users or a non-developer audience.
Am I wrong here?
I started with kMyMoney and am really not sure if this was a wise choice for
the above said.
Instead of managing my finances I write comments here about this and that ....
