Using Pocket Casts, it always grabs the cover for "Whiskey Media: Radio Show" as the art for the entire feed. This seems like something way low-priority to fix, but since Whiskey Media is long gone I'd wonder how good idea it is to keep it, even though I have some amount of nostalgia for those days. I'm sure there are community members that'd be up for making some new artwork.
Feel free to trash this thread if I've missed the answer easily.
Premium Podcasts: cover art
Danswers is the first premium podcast I do not want to miss so I finally sorted it out and was surprised that this is the logo.
Word, a premium cast image would go a long way.
Edit: I'd like something like this, if this wasn't a garbage image made by an amateur:
@tyrellocp: Didn't Drew and Danny say they weren't going to do another season of ALT F1 and instead are doing something else?
In the final episode?
You know what, ignore my previous comment. The premium feed loads the correct image if you don't pass your credentials in the URL. i.e. https://username:password@www.giantbo....etc
So it must be an issue with pocket casts? Maybe it's trying to pass the creds when getting the artwork, I dunno. If you don't pass your creds in the subscription URL you'll not get the premium content.
EDIT:
I looked into it more. If you don't pass your creds the image URL for the cover art is this:
<url>http://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/original/8/87610/2689450-2670613-giant%2Bbombcast.png</url>
If you do pass your creds (more specifically using the "https"), for some reason the XML changes the URL to:
<url>/uploads/original/8/87610/2689450-2670613-giant%2Bbombcast.png</url>
Which, obviously won't work.
I should be clear, I'm talking about the "Premium Podcasts" feed, not the Bombcast Premium feed. I felt as if the "Bombcast" forum category was the right place to post a podcast-related thing.
@benlaserlove: Yes. The issue is the same, no matter the feed; it's specific to accessing premium feeds (where you need user/pass/https).
Is this an issue with the feed, or with the podcast clients? I use Overcast on iOS and see no artwork for the premium feeds.
