Discussion, Icon support in Feed Reader

[AntoineTurmel]

This is not a bug report/feature request, but rather a discussion around Icon support in feeds...
I noticed that using "getIcon" to provide a custom icon, doesn't work with some feeds readers like Inoreader (that I mainly use) or Feedly.

They basically use the domain name provided in : <link rel="alternate" /> (Atom) or <link> in Mrss.

What feed reader do you use that support custom Icon ?

This is almost a year old, but it's still open, so I'll add my 2 cents.

I recently switched to using RSS Guard. It displays the feed icon for JSON feeds from RSS-Bridge, and the developer just made an update so that it also displays the feed icon for Atom format feeds (should be included in the next release).

The icon url is inserted into <icon> and <logo> (atom), and in mrss:

		<image>
			<url>{$icon}</url>
			<title>{$title}</title>
			<link>{$uri}</link>
		</image>

I think feed readers still usually scrape the feed main url.
