Images

<podcast:images>

This tag, when present, allows for specifying many different image sizes in a compact way at either the episode or channel level. The syntax is borrowed from the HTML5 srcset syntax. It allows for describing multiple image sources with width and pixel hints directly in the attribute. Although the HTML5 srcset attribute allows relative urls, absolute urls are required in this tag - since the feed url may not represent an appropriate base url for relativization.

Attributes

  • srcset (required) A string that denotes each image url followed by a space and the pixel width, with each one separated by a comma. See the example for a clear view of the syntax.

Examples

Example of specifying four different image sizes:

<podcast:images srcset="https://example.com/images/ep1/pci_avatar-massive.jpg 1500w, https://example.com/images/ep1/pci_avatar-middle.jpg 600w, https://example.com/images/ep1/pci_avatar-small.jpg 300w, https://example.com/images/ep1/pci_avatar-tiny.jpg 150w" />
