Freshrss: View attachments / enclosures directly in article display

[donlencho]

Hello,
I have been using Tiny Tiny RSS for a while but recently switched to Fresh mostly because TTRSS doesn't work on my mobile.
There is one essential thing I'm missing: the ability to see attached files as a direct link, which allows for an easy download (useful for podcasts for instance). Here is a pic from TTRSS with an example podcast and the attached mp3 appears, I can just click on it and download it. In Fresh, I just see the player and if I want to download the mp3, I have to go to "manage" next to the feed, then select "open feed URL" to finally find the attached file. Pretty annoying. I can also get the link with a right click on the player, but it depends on the browser's implementation and it's not always straightforward.
So is there a way to show it already, something that I'm missing in the settings?
Or if not could it be integrated?
Thank you for your consideration (and for FreshRSS obviously!),

Welcome @donlencho
See this proposition https://github.com/FreshRSS/FreshRSS/issues/1238

[Alkarex]

P.S.: A click on 💾 will auto-start the download in Edge and Chrome, but not in Firefox, except if the media is from the same domain as FreshRSS.

[Alkarex]

P.P.S.: The changes will only be visible for the new items and/or new feeds.

[donlencho]

Thank you! Looking forward to the next release then!

[Alkarex]

Did you have a chance to test the pull request? If not, could you test if I merge the feature in the /dev version of FreshRSS?

[donlencho]

I just did, seems perfectly functional, thank you for your prompt implementation!
There is just one feed for which it's not working, but I think it's due to an encoding problem on their side, if you want to have a look: http://rss.rtbf.be/media/rss/audio/lp-decadrages_recent.xml
One other thing for consideration though: probably not due to FreshRSS, but the icon is not displaying properly for me, I just see the unicode box (using Linux Mint).
Thanks again,

[Alkarex]

The feed http://rss.rtbf.be/media/rss/audio/lp-decadrages_recent.xml does not contain enclosures / attachments / podcasts:

The emoji 💾 works fine in Firefox 48 on Ubuntu 16.04. Is your Mint based on an older version of Ubuntu?

[donlencho]

Yes, based on Ubuntu 14.04.
As for the feed I sent, I do see an attached mp3 in Tiny Tiny RSS, see the picture below.

[Alkarex]

I do not know where this link to an MP3 file comes from. There is no such link in the RSS feed itself http://rss.rtbf.be/media/rss/audio/lp-decadrages_recent.xml, and not from the article's link either (http://www.rtbf.be/radio/podcast/player?id=2126197&channel=lapremiere). Are you sure it is the same RSS feed you are using?

[Alkarex]

Ah, Ubuntu 14.04 is two years old. The current one is 16.04 (LTS), with 16.10 approaching. If you update your Mint to version 18+, it should work.

[donlencho]

Yes but it's an LTS supported until 2019... Anyway, not a big problem.
As for the feed, it's mysterious. The article links do link to a player which loads the audio file, it must come from there. But again, not a big problem as it's not a regular rss way of attaching a file.
Thanks for digging into this.

[Alkarex]

Ok. It would be possible to overwrite the emoji with a CSS rule loading an image, if it is a problem.

[donlencho]

maybe it is "safer", but up to you!

[Alkarex]

Ok. Let's try with the current approach (it is possible for users to add a custom CSS rule if needed) and come back to it later if needed

[donlencho]

Just an update after testing on Linux Mint 18 (based on Ubuntu 16.04), same issue: unicode bloc in Firefox and empty rectangle in Chromium/Vivladi.

[Alkarex]

Damn. Works out of the box on Ubuntu 16.04 with Firefox (48), Chromium (52), Midori (0.5.11).
It looks like the emoji can be provided both by the OS (in my case, the Symbola font) and recent Firefox versions when not available at OS level.
Could you try to install the ttf-ancient-fonts package? (It is installed by default on Ubuntu - I cannot find what default packages are installed in Mint)

sudo apt-get install ttf-ancient-fonts

[donlencho]

Installing fonts-symbola did the trick, thanks.

[truongan]

I'm sorry to beat up a dead horse. But I have a feed with attachment/enclosure but my installation of freshrss won't show the download icon: http://nethd.org/torrentrss.php?rows=10&cat=401&standard401=415,416
I'm new to fressh and clueless of where to start looking, any help would be very appreciate

[Alkarex]

@truongan Should be fixed in https://github.com/FreshRSS/FreshRSS/pull/1522
It was because the MIME type application/x-bittorrent was not supported.
Could you please give it a try? For instance by trying the /dev version of FreshRSS.

[truongan]

Wow, that was blazing fast response. I was hesitate to checkout the whole dev tree. But I can confirm that with a simple git cherry-pick e9e6fc3 newly actualized feed now show the download icon

[truongan]

Err, I spoke too soon. #1522 cause a regression IMO. Now feed WITHOUT attatchment will display a download icon as well, which link to nowhere: <a download="" href="">💾</a>

[Alkarex]

@truongan Indeed. Please check https://github.com/FreshRSS/FreshRSS/pull/1523

[truongan]

Sorry for the long reply. I can confirm #1523 fix the regression. Very quick work indeed @Alkarex

[Alkarex]

Thanks for the feedback :-)

[squromiv]

I`ve faced with a problem.
Check for example the feed. As I understood, attached pictures are displayed in FreshRSS as duplicated images. To make it clear what i mean, compare how it looks in

TinyTinyRSS

RSSOwl

FreshRSS

[Alkarex]

@squromiv Indeed. The reason is that there are some feeds were the relevant images are only in the "attachments", in which case I believe it is useful to display them inline.
Your feed is an example with the data duplicated in the feed itself (it is provided both inline as an img and as an enclosure). We could try to check whether a given attachment is already provided inline to avoid duplicates. Could you please open a new issue?

@Alkarex
I have found the same existing issue. #1668 Could you open it again?

[squromiv]

Or should i create a new one?
