Can't get <enclosure> working in validated feed

[Muckaveli]

Hi every one and first off thank you sdepold for this feed. It basically rocks!

However I have a problem getting the multimedia-attachments out of the following validated feed: http://rss.filmstarts.de/fs/kinos/aktuelle

From what I understand jquery.rss is looking for <img> tags within entry.content. In the case of this feed the images I need are within an <enclosure> tag outside of entry.content. If you take a look at the feed in your browser, you can clearly see them.

If I print out (JSON.stringify(this.feed));however, there seems to be no enclosure at all:

Any idea how I get the right images shown?

Have you found a solution for that?

I ended up using jquery to get to the enclosure media so I'll paste that JS to hopefully/maybe help others or point in a possible direction...

`var rssurl = 'http://nerdist.libsyn.com/rss'; $.get(rssurl, function(data) { var $xml = $(data); var i = 0; var howMany = 10; i = 0; $xml.find("item").each(function() {

                if(i<howMany){
                     $this = $(this),
                        item = {
                            title: $this.find("title").text(),
                            link: $this.find("link").text(),
                            description: $this.find("description").text(),
                            pubDate: $this.find("pubDate").text(),
                            author: $this.find("author").text(),
                            media: $this.find("enclosure").attr('url')
                            //image: $this.find("itunes:image").attr('url')
                    }

                    /*if(i<1){
                        $('#rss-image').append('<image src="'+item.image+'" /><br/>');
                    }*/

                    $('#rss-feeds').append('<h1>'+item.title+'</h1><i>'+item.description+'</i><audio src="'+item.media+'" controls></audio><br/>');

                    i++;

                }

            });
        });`

Sou you parsed it via jQuery and not with the plugin anymore? Thanks for your time and support!

[jsmithdev]

Yeah I wasn't sure if I should share but I couldn't seem to get to the enclosure's attributes either but that fit my small use case. If I get time I'd like to try to use the plugin and alter it if need be but that's another option in a pinch.

Back in 2007 i started a project to create some kind of "screensaver in the cloud" via the www.seemiyah.com website. One of my main visions was to show fullscreen RSS feeds. What i encountered was that 9 out of 10 professional companies (newspapers, magazines, tv stations etc.) simply ignored the RSS w3 recomendations. Some insert images inside the item-description whilst others use their own image text and even others do it correctly via the enclosure tag. I had to use a php switch statement to check what kind of image was used. What a hazzle :( Thanks for your time and support dubyajaysmith !
