Video embeds for reddit feed (with implementation examples included)

[zinklog2]

This has become my only way to consume reddit content and I'm very grateful.

If it's possible to add video embeds into the RSS feed itself that'll be amazing. Doing some research on it I've found some repos that are capable of performing this but are either self-hosted or has some problem in another way. Here are those:

https://github.com/aledeg/xExtension-RedditImage

If the logic from these can be implemented here that'll be great.

please produce an example url to an rssbridge instance where you want this to work.

@Leomaradan videos are typically available via iframes? looks like iframe tags have always been disallowed by rssbridge?

we could not escape iframe but downside is privacy issues.

Hi, sorry for not checking in since I wasn't sure this is even possible in rss but looking at how flawless youtube videos embed I thought I should look into this again.

https://rss-bridge.sans-nuage.fr/?action=display&bridge=RedditBridge&context=single&r=interestingasfuck&f=&score=5000&d=hot&search=&format=Atom

Here's an example url that fetches the r/interestingasfuck posts that have atleast 5k upvotes, it's a mixture of images and videos, with videos you only getting a thumbnail and a hyperlink to go to the original thread.

I fixed so that video works. But still remains to fix audio.

oh wow thanks a lot for this! Do I need to update urls or do something on my end or just wait for the instance owner to update?

[dvikan]

wait for instance owner update to updates yes
