Add image item preview

[crazy-max]

By parsing the <content> to find the first <img> or retrieve the <media:thumbnail> (for RSS media) we can display a preview of a RSS item like Feedly :

RSS 2 first image in content :

RSS Media with media:thumbnail (youtube) :

Good idea, should be added to picoFeed first and retrieved via $item->getThumbnail(). This should only be done for the however since this will cause issues when the first image is not a thumbnail (think of comics)

I think we need to retrieve the image link from picoFeed like you said but for media:thumbnail and the first picture in content. Then the method would be $item->getImage() In ownCloud News we can process picture exceeding a predefined size (64x64) using GD2 library and crop to square then resize for example ? Maybe this can involved performance issues ?

If there are no picture in the rss item, we can put a default picture like the ownCloud News logo ?

I'd go for the following:

• First picture in the content may be any image and may therefore produce false positives, espially for comic feeds. Showing a thumbnail which is basically a very tiny comic image makes no sense, we should avoid that
• No resizing, simply set a css max-height property and the browser will resize it. We can always make it bigger or smaller later on
• If a thumbnail is discovered and it has the same URL as the first image, we strip the image from the content. That way we we don't add the same image twice
• The thumbnail will be added with nice padding at the top left

I see the main purpose for the thumbnail in adding a proper padding and @position to the first image.

Seems nice :)

Is this owncloud plugin not maintained anymore? Or merged to nextcloud?
