This is my second post on the forum and I’ll again thank you for this great piece of software that is TTRSS.
I was wondering why some of my feeds don’t display attached images in the android client. Most of them do but some don’t. I can see the link to the pictures when I tap the little paper clip under the article but no way to display them on the article list for those feeds.
All of my feeds have the same settings (“Always display image attachements” enabled and I also tried to enable “cache media” for the feeds without picture) so this doesn’t come from there. Picture height are more than 300 px so I don’t think it’s quality related either.
A kind of workaround is to inline article content but it doesn’t work every time so I’m looking for a cleaner and, most of all, working every time option.
If someone has any idea about that behavior and how to fix it, I’m open to suggestions.
i think the cause here is that this feed doesn’t specify content type (i.e. type attribute) for media:content elements, so tt-rss doesn’t know it’s actually an image, thus it’s not shown inline.
before you ask, trying to guess this stuff by URL (i.e. it ends in a .jpg) is generally a bad idea.
one could write a very simple plugin that would fix this by setting proper content type for this specific feed (and maybe others).
I’m a noob so it will be difficult for me to write a plugin but I saw when going through this forum that there is a tool (RSS-bridge) that could do the job in this case.
Do you think it could work ? I’m thinking about generating a proper feed using RSS-bridge to replace the “bad” original one if I wasn’t clear.
Thank you very much for your help. I looked in php of the plugin, hoping to find some strings that I could replace to make it work for the second feed but your work is way beyond what I’m capable to understand.
your second feed has small thumbnails in article content which take precedence over automatic attachment display (android client doesn’t display small images because high dpi screens, low dpi images = ugly)
this feed should work fine with the plugin if you enable “always display image attachments” - not on android though i’m afraid. you’ll see both images in article content but not on headlines list.
detecting image sizes to skip small ones is not done because it could be really slow (the only way to do that means downloading the image, at least partially).
plugin works on a list of all attachments tt-rss parser detected for the article, so it doesn’t really matter.
I will ask naively one last question : is it possible to “remove” the mention of the small thumbnail inside the article ? That would only leave the attachement in good quality to be displayed in the android client.
Regarding af_feedmod, I was thinking about it a few days ago to solve my problems but I don’t know how it works. I could look into it.
This plugin isn’t maintained anymore and af_feediron looks like it a lot and seems to be more future proof. Do you recommanded one over another ?
I won’t say no if you make another plugin but I’ll let you choose if you think it could be useful to other people… You did more than enough for me today
