Topic: RSS Enclosures

	RSS enclosure - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		RSS enclosures are a way of attaching multimedia content to RSS feeds by providing the URL of a file associated with an entry, such as an MP3 file to a music recommendation or a photo to a diary entry.
		Unlike e-mail attachments, enclosures are merely hyperlinks to files, the actual data is not embedded into the feed.
		The addition of enclosures to RSS, as first implemented by Dave Winer in late 2000 [1], was an important prerequisite for the emergence of podcasting, arguably the most common use of the feature as of 2006.

	How to support enclosures in aggregators (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		RSS 2.0 has a neat feature that allows an item to have an enclosure.
		Like the enclosure of an email message, an RSS item enclosure is something big that may take a long time to download, or something binary that isn't text you read.
		The aggregator or news readers should not download the enclosure until the computer is idle, and should not present the item with the enclosure to the user until the enclosure has been downloaded and is resident on the local hard disk.

	RSS enclosures not working for mp3 files on alpha5 « WordPress Support
		The only way i had to make it add an enclosure tag was to manually add an "enclosure" custom field with the url as the value, but obviously it didn't add the length of the file referenced, nor the mime-type.
		Also, since the enclosure tags are added to the RSS feed by looking at the wp_postmeta table, i kept having a look at it and never got ever added to it (except when i added the custom field myself).
		The mime-type, incidentally, is audio/mpeg; since the enclosure is considered only for audio/, video/ and image/* mime-types, that should be fine.

		RSS 2.0 has an interesting feature called enclosures.
		It basically lets you have a link in your RSS feed that points to a media file or something so that you can download it in advance so it plays without having to wait for it when you get to it.
		A "BloggerCon community multimedia feed" provided by the use of RSS enclosures and some simple backend web scripting, would at least potentially level the playing field for all multimedia enabled content produced at BloggerCon and made available on the Web.

		We may not follow Dave's recommendations on how to support enclosures to the letter, as our application is unique, and the user experience is different from most other tools...but we believe the user experience will be satisfying, and give users the flexibility to do what they want.
		I agree with Greg that automatic downloads of large enclosures is not necessarily a 'good thing', but I also didn't want to miss out on the fun of some of the enclosures available.
		The perfect way to download large amounts of RSS enclosures is by using a tool that only downloads in the background when the network bandwith isn't being utilized.

		Dave Winer, the co-creator of RSS and the person most responsible for its widespread adoption, argues that the current version of the RSS specification must never be revised in order to protect the stability of the format:
		If no group has the authority to resolve the enclosures issue, all podcasters relying on multiple enclosures will be publishing RSS feeds that don't work for what is potentially their largest audience.
		Instead the RSS Advisory Board should send e-mails to PowerLine and others that have multiple enclosures in a single item informing them that their feeds are funky and leave it at that.

	Nick Bradbury: FeedDemon and RSS enclosures
		The RSS enclosure element is used to attach media (such as video) to a news item.
		The original design of enclosures was to enable downloading media attached to news feeds while the computer wasn't in use - for example, downloading MP3s while you sleep - so you wouldn't have to wait.
		If you read a news item that was just retrieved by your aggregator, you probably want to see the enclosure right then and there rather than wait for it to be downloaded when the computer is idle.

		Problem with this is that the spec doesn't prohibit multiple enclosures and that's exactly what we've implemented.
		Enclosures are just like email attachments and users expect to be able to add as many as they want to an entry.
		I understand why this is important to podcasters, but there are other uses for RSS - a state that favors a more liberal interpretation of the spec.

		While I can choose to archive RSS content to my heart's content, with RSS, the content (at least from the publisher) is always fresh and timely, and I pull the feed.
		"Enclosures" in that way may be a misnomer, but when compared to "attachments" that show up in my Inbox unwanted, I think we sometimes take RSS for granted.
		And, if you ever do implement enclosures in your aggregator, you could always bake in some policy features that limit the size of the automatic download, optionally send you an email to inform you about large undownloaded enclosures from a particular source if you really care enough about it.
