Hi Eric,
Thanks for using Super RSS Reader and sorry for the late reply.
1) Regarding the thumbnails not displayed – The plugin picks the thumbnail from the RSS feed if it has one in the order mentioned below.
FAQ
- From the feed item’s tag -> thumbnail URL.
- From the feed item’s tag -> URL.
- The first image from the feed item’s content.
- From the feed item’s tag if present.
Plugin does not know if the RSS feed is a local or external. It displays the thumbnail when it is found. Please do confirm if the RSS feed has thumbnails for the items. You can see if there is any .jpg, .png image for every feed item.
2) Regarding the issue with tab sleep and ticker not moving, I could not reproduce the issue. May be I didn’t understand the issue. So you have opened multiple tabs of super RSS reader ticker enabled page and when you switch tab the ticker is not moving ?
Super RSS Reader’s ticker does have the feature to pause ticking when the tab is not active. This is to save CPU cycles which is a common practice.
If the issue you have observed is something different, please do share more details on how to reproduce the issue I will see if it can be fixed.
Thanks,
Aakash
