RSS Image handling - Output the image if the feed includes an image url

[roastedpeas]

Greetings Dakboard,

Thank you for your reply; I confirm the option for Reddit for Photos, but I was specifically referring to image handling with RSS feeds. Not all RSS feeds have an image associated, but entries that include image url, it would be helpful to output the image; in a space contained within the feed. For example, if an RSS entry does not have an image enclosure, show the description instead (which you already have an option under RSS).

I feel this is similar to what Picture Support for RSS Feeds #225 opened on Apr 10, 2018 by dowen01 was referring to.

Example RSS feed - "https://reddit.com/r/bayarea/.rss" Here is a visual example of what I'd like to see:

Let me know if this gets worked into a feature request or someway to stay in the loop! I enjoy your product a lot!

Hypothetical image, this is what I imagine the option would look like under RSS feeds.

Hey DAKboard, This is looking like the perfect solution to replace RiseVision for us. However, one of the big things we use is MediaRSS feeds to show images from our server automatically.

We were able to set it to only show the image without any other information. However, RiseVision is removing this capability in favor of a cloud storage option. The only problem with this for us is that requires one more account and login that people would need in order to update images. Currently, it is an automated process where any images in a certain folder on our server is shown.

The MediaRSS feed can also be useful for other uses, including making news stories more engaging, as well.

An example of how we use MediaRSS feeds can be found here:

@roastedpeas , thanks for the suggestions. We have added this as an option when editing an RSS block in a custom screen:

This will result in something similar to:

(as long as the RSS feed provides images)
