Add functions to get Media (images/videos/audios) from entry description/contents

[weierophinney]

Just check now a days feed entries have images/videos/contents can we have few functions to extract that details?

e.g : http://sportbild.bild.de/rss/vw-startseite/vw-startseite-45028186,sort=1,view=rss2.sport.xml

You can extend the reader yourself, because zend-feed has a plugin system. Please check the documentation: "zend-feed – Extending Feed and Entry APIs".
There will you find an example how to register a new namespace and read the specific elements.
All relevant elements are described here: "Media RSS Specification".

I'm sorry, the last code example in documentation doesn't work anymore. (See: #44)
Here can you find a workaround: zendframework/zend-feed#54 (comment)

FWIW, MRSS is exactly the extension I've been working with, though I've only looked at thumbnails/images in my implementation. Would be great to have that in core since it seems to be popular and is very useful.

I will add the support for one of the next minor releases; 2.13 or 2.14. This includes the full Media RSS specification with unit tests and documentation.

Help is always welcome! 😃

You can add media objects using setEnclosure method on entry object. According to RSS 2.0 specs:

enclosure | Describes a media object that is attached to the item.

<enclosure> is an optional sub-element of .

It has three required attributes. url says where the enclosure is located, length says how big it is in bytes, and type says what its type is, a standard MIME type.

The url must be an http url.

When setting enclosure, you need to specify uri instead of url:

$entry->setEnclosure([
  'uri' => get_absolute_url($path),
  'type' => get_mime_type($path),
  'length' => filesize($path),
]);
