[Bug] Collection & series RSS feeds are not using cover images

Describe the Feature/Enhancement

Currently, all RSS feeds have the same image, the standard ABS Logo.png of the white headphones around the three books on a shelf. I'd like to be able to replace it with my own custom image or be able to set it per RSS feed when creating a new feed or editing an existing one.

Why would this be helpful?

Being able to visually identify which feed a book came from would be helpful, no matter how you organize the content. Feeds by separate genres, feeds by series, feeds by author, whatever. I personally have many RSS feeds, with lots of crossover on content, but mostly I use two big feeds, One-Offs and Current Series. I try to break up a series by reading a one off book between each book in the series, so looking at a list of 15-20 books and seeing two One-Offs right next to each other is easier to spot when there is a visual difference based on what RSS feed they came from.

Can you check for an <image> tag in the RSS feed?

I just opened an RSS feed for a book and see the cover image for my book. Or are you specifically referring to an RSS feed of a different data model?

Excerpt from my RSS feed:

Below is an example of a collection's RSS feed. All the book cover images are stored in the audio file itself as far as I can tell.

The image that is used in the RSS feed is the same one that is on the book/podcast in Abs. Do you have images set for all the books in the collection?

[GKeckD2D]

Yes, all the books in the collection have cover images
