YouTube's RSS Feeds has both: thumbnail & description fields that does not seem to appear in the feed:

It would be awesome to also have the player directly inside youtube feeds using the media:content url attribute.

Totally agree. I just moved here from Reeder 5, which handles this very well:

It keeps me in the app, reading what I need to, rather than sending me off to get distracted by algorithms on the main site. This is, after all, the purpose of a feed reader.

@moodler that's definitely the right idea. I wrote an article about how RSS readers are actually great for your mental health as well! I hope more people use them. There's also YouTube RSS feeds there as well. I believe they have all the feed content including thumbnails as well. 👍

Great to see you here, Mark, I've been using openrss.org a lot recently (great job) and I've read that article!

More than thumbnails, you can use the link to embed the video (eg YouTube) or audio (if it's a podcast) right in the view (as you can see in my Reeder 5 screenshot - that Youtube video is playable right there in the reader)

Oh nice! I was discussing adding embedded videos to Open RSS feeds with a colleague. But our users tend to be extremely private and didn't want YouTube/Google tracking details about them when playing them in the RSS reader. But it may be worth providing embedded content as an optional feature. Thanks for the information and glad to see your support for Open RSS. Definitely don't want to derail the thread here more than I already have lol. So feel free to email me at mark@(youknowhat).org if you ever want to chat more! 🚀
