RSS feed with media tags

Hi
parser works great when it comes to normal RSS feeds, but stumbles greatly when RSS is actually a media feed - http://www.rssboard.org/media-rss

For most part parser works, but with 2 problems:

  • there is no option to specify which media:content element to use. Many feeds include both 3gp and mp4 and it is really up to end user to pick one or another. Parser however only keeps one. In my case it is 3gp. While desired is mp4 for iOS.
  • usually media feed would include thumbnail for the video as one or more media:thumbnail elements. Parser ignores it.

Solution:
Allow pass-through of all media tags

Thanks for this, Serge. Could you please also provide a URL with these additional media elements that are not getting preserved. I’ll have a look and see if we can add a fix for the next version.
