supports media:content

[katat]

Is there already a way to use output media:content instead of the enclosure tags for the images?

Thanks

[halfdan]

@dylang Is there any update on this? I would like to add itunes:summary and other podcast related tags to the rss feed. (http://www.apple.com/itunes/podcasts/specs.html#metadata).

Sorry it has taken so long to get feedback on your request. I think this is a great idea.

Perhaps a configurable whitelist of namespaces to be passed through on XML generation?

I think it can be done with #35

That PR works well for adding custom namespaces, but how could I implement the output of custom media elements like this (as found in a Wordpress RSS feed)?

<media:content url="http:/example.com/image.jpg" medium="image" height="449" width="798">
  <media:thumbnail url="http:/example.com/thumb_image.jpg" height="60" width="60"/>
</media:content>

FYI This is my code for adding media:content using this PR:

    var newfeed = new RSS(options);

    var itemOptions = {
        title           : item.title,
        description     : item.description,
        url             : item.link,
        guid            : item.link,
        author          : item.author,
        pubdate         : item.pubdate,
        custom_elements : [
            {"wfw:comments": item["wfw:commentrss"]["#"]}
        ]
    };
    // add in media info if present
    if (item["media:content"]["@"]) {
        var media = item["media:content"]["@"];
        var image_custom_element = {
            "media:content": {
                _attr: {
                    medium      : media.medium,
                    href        : media.url,
                    height      : media.height,
                    width       : media.width
                }
            }
        };
        itemOptions.custom_elements.push(image_custom_element);
    }
    newfeed.item(itemOptions);

I think, this is the piece of code you're looking for:

var image_custom_element = {
    "media:content": [{
        _attr: {
            medium: media.medium,
            href: media.url,
            height: media.height,
            width: media.width
        }
    }, {
        "media:thumbnail": {
            _attr: {
                medium: media.thumb.medium,
                href: media.thumb.url,
                height: media.thumb.height,
                width: media.thumb.width
            }
        }
    }]
}

outputs

<media:content medium="media.medium" href="media.url" height="media.height" width="media.width">
    <media:thumbnail medium="media.thumb.medium" href="media.thumb.url" height="media.thumb.height" width="media.thumb.width" />
</media:content>

That is working for me. Thanks much! Love to see #35 merged.

[ErisDS]

Closing this as it is working using the code sample provided as of #35 (version 1.1.0)

I get this errror in chrome

error on line 25 at column 97: Namespace prefix media on content is not defined

somehow I need to add: xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/"> to the doc

[Morantron]

@chovy i ran into this issue, you need to use custom_namespaces option like this

custom_namespaces: {
  media: "http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/",
}
