Thumbnails in new iOS App not Showing on my feed

question
1

What are the requirements for a thumbnail to appear in the new iOS app on the iPad?

I have a custom feed and I cannot get the thumbnails to appear. The feed is a simple html table that has a small thumbnail in the left column and occasionally a larger image below the table that I want to appear as a thumbnail. I have tried the larger image in the table, below the table, above the table as style=“display:none” and as a properly formatted enclosure. None of that helped I also tried converting the feed from rss to atom. Still no thumbnail. What do I need to do?

For what it is worth even the smaller image has never appeared as a thumbnail either.

Check to make sure it’s big enough. I think the cutoff is 100px wide.

And only the first image url is extracted. It’s not checking the size of every image and pulling the largest.

Thank You! That helps a lot for me understanding what is happening. I’ll reformat the feed with that in mind.

Would it be possible for some future update to consider RSS enclosures more likely to be the desired image than what is in content if content appears first?

Oh, and I was incorrect in my claim that putting the image at the top with a style of “display:none” doesn’t work. That did work my apologies.
