Cant parse media content

[gdonnelly82]

I have been trying to parse media content and don't seem to be able to capture it. I can get the basics but trying to get something like the url of the image below throws an error.

<media:content url="https://static.independent.co.uk/s3fs-public/thumbnails/image/2020/03/10/14/payday-loans-5.jpg" type="image/jpeg" medium="image"/>

Example of code I'm trying.

require 'rss'

rss = RSS::Parser.parse('http://www.independent.co.uk/rss', false)

rss.items.each do |item|
 puts "#{item.title}"
 puts "#{item.media_content.url}"

end

We need to add support for Media RSS: https://www.rssboard.org/media-rss/

Hi kou. Is that Media RSS support something you are planning to add? It would be very helpful!

I'll work on it when I can work on it.

I ran into this today. Has anyone else found an alternative gem that supports media:content and/or media:thumbnail?

I have changed approaches - I'm using the Nori gem (https://github.com/savonrb/nori) to convert RSS into a hash and just navigate through it that way.

# load your RSS somehow then pass into Nori...
feed = Nori.new.parse(rss)
title = feed["rss"]["channel"]["title"]
description = feed["rss"]["channel"]["description"]
items = feed["rss"]["channel"]["item"]
items.each do |item|
 item_title = item["title"]
 content = item["content:encoded"]
end
