For an imagefield with mulitple images defined/allowed, should the resulting media rss feed put out each of those (multiple) images wrapped in it's own tag? A test feed I tried is

The question/reason for asking is that the viewers I've tried (jw image rotator, etc.) are just showing the first image.

Thanks.

I have looked for some documentation on the use of the media field in an RSS feed but can find none.
As far as I know this this is an error in the viewers for only reading the first entry but I cannot say for sure.
There is no other way of displaying multiple images in the feed as far as I know.

Maybe each as individual nodes? ... I will have a quick look at this

Thanks, I guess will have to switch to individual nodes--multi-image nodes were convienient for what I was trying to do. Was wondering if each of the images in a multi-node could/should be put out in their own tags.

maybe you could create images separatly and then attach them to a single node. The rss feeds could then be of the attached image nodes but the nodes contain all the images

I also ran into this today when playing with the JW Imagerotator:

- With a multivalue imagefield or a content type with multiple imagefields, MediaRSS wraps all images files in the same XML tag.

- When I create multiple nodes and create a feed for that, image files have their own tags, and the Imagerotator works fine.

I guess Imagerotator looks for an item-tag, and takes the first media file within that tag.

Can this be achieved some way? It's pretty convenient to have only one node with several imagefields for example image slideshows.
