Rss feed with thumbnail?

Is there anyone who has managed to get to rss feeds with thumbnail/small images? As an example, YouTube, Twitter, WordPress, RSS 1.0, 2.0 or atom rss? If there is anyone who has success with the buzztouch V1.5 so I would be grateful if someone would help me and explaining how I should proceed.

I've got it to work. But my RSS feeds have the MediaRSS additions. In the XML identifier for image, I have media:thumbnail.

There are lots and lots of examples of this. It's tough to expain it exactly becuase it related to how your RSS data is formated (not all are the same). Another tough issue is sizeing the rows, title, description etc. Generally, if you can figure out what image tags in the RSS are used for the URL. I've been trying to get a tutorial together but just haven't found the time. Do this... post the URL to this thread, I'll create a screen with the icons on one of my testing apps. Next, I'll post the 'settings' for the screen so you can re-produce it ;-)

Would love to get this working, too. I'll follow this thread.

@ phaques Could I see your mRSS feed? I would like to see how it's written. Would you then be able to tell what you have typed in under element settings? Could also tell the width you have on your lines in the feed?

The feed is: http://feeds.feedburner.com/jimonlight And for the image xml setting, I have: media:thumbnail. For row height I have: 65. For image size I have: 50. The feed is being sent from a WordPress install to Feedburner. I have a MediaRSS plugin installed that takes the first image found in a post and makes the thumbnail for the feed. Hope that helps!
