As adviced here I am using RSS-Bridge for generating feeds of Twitter. These feeds are used in my installation of TT-RSS.
There is just one problem: Pictures in Twitter feeds are not shown in TT-RSS (via Browser and via Android-App). This is due to the pictures are not embedded as *.jpg but as *.jpg:orig or as *.jpg:thumb instead.
You can see there, that pictures are embedded as *.jpg:orig. These pictures are shown when displaying the feed URL in Firefox.
But when adding this feed to TT-RSS, the pictures are not shown.
first of all, no images are embedded in this feed - images there are linked to by their URIs. don’t use words if you don’t know what they mean, it’s just confusing.
second of all, it’s not about the URI itself (or the :orig suffix in it). there’s two images in every post:
i assume it’s a thumbnail which is in article content, <img> tag, that one would show in tt-rss regardless of :orig being there or not, it doesn’t matter.
full image which is linked as an enclosure. in order for an enclosure to be shown inline as media content, it needs to either have a correct content type (i.e. image/png) or lead to something looking like an image (this is actually a fallback method for badly configured feeds).
in your feed enclosures both have wrong content type (application/octet-stream) and lead to a retarded URI which fails the check because of the suffix.
so, in short, that feed is bad and whoever produced it should feel bad. my advice would be telling people at “rss bridge” to fix their shit.
alternatively, since tt-rss is infinitely extensible, you can write a plugin which would embed this horrible misconfigured enclosure manually. good luck.
e: why did i waste so much time on this effortpost
The only change I make is editing ‘TwitterBridge.php’ and replacing :thumb with :orig , it occurs in two places , this gives us the lovely full-size images instead of tiny thumbnails.
Thank you for pointing this out. I did some changes now in TwitterBridge.php (on the RSS-Bridge-side) and things are working now.
Anyway, soon I will get in touch with RSS-Bridge to bring their attention to this issue.
It did not make any difference to the previous problem, if af_zz_imgproxy is activated or not - at least in my case.
