Some feed icons not shown in Capy Reader, but they do appear in FreshRSS

[silentcreek]

Steps to Reproduce

I have a FreshRSS server off of which I read feeds with Capy Reader using the GReader API. There are some feeds that will show a favicon on the FreshRSS webinterface, but don't in Capy Reader. Instead, I see a generic black and white RSS icon for all of them.

Examples for such feeds are:
https://github.com/nextcloud/server/releases.atom
https://www.faz.net/rss/aktuell/

Is there a way to change/fix this?

Expected behavior

I would have expected that Capy Reader shows the same icons as FreshRSS.

Hey @silentcreek. Thanks for the details here. It turns out Capy wasn't parsing SVG images, and both favicon examples are SVGs.

I added SVG support in the latest version today, 2025.01.1097. This fixed the GitHub feed but not faz.net. Faz.net uses some specific formatting doesn't work with the underlying library. I have an open issue with the library to fix that (coil-kt/coil#2798).

If that doesn't work, I'll see if FreshRSS is open to changing which images they send via the API which would be the ideal fix. Stay tuned!

Thanks, version 2025.01.1097 landed on my phone a few days ago and it indeed fixed the GitHub icon. In the meantime, I've worked around the remaining Faz.net icon issue by removing the media query in the cached icon on the FreshRSS instance so it is also displayed on my phone in Capy Reader.

Sounds good. Unfortunately it's a "won't fix" for the underlying library. So if there's a fix on FreshRSS for svgs with unsupported styling like faz.net, that's the best path forward.

Please let me know if you run into any other sites with unsupported favicons and I'll investigate more!
