Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/slurdge/goeland/issues/43

As I was migrating feeds into goeland, I noticed this one seems to lose its video links:

https://www.eevblog.com/feed/

Probably a consequence of how they're referenced in the feed content (the src of an iframe, within a figure). Any way to preserve these?

Yes this is due to the fact that goeland sanitize the feed before applying filters. I could specifically allow some URLs (look at this issue: https://github.com/microcosm-cc/bluemonday/issues/120) but I think it's somewhat not a good solution.

I'm looking to have a special func on iframes what would extract the link on retrieve filter.

I have a current implementation that works but I really don't like it, basically, I do a special processing in order to extract iframe links.

I plan to completely change that with the following:

Introduce a --unsafe-no-sanitize-filter command line option along with a configuration file option unsafe-no-sanitize-filter.
Sanitizing will be moved to a first and special filter (I still have to see if there are no processing before).
Sanitizing filter will be made available as a regular filter.

That way, it should be possible to download eevblog RSS, do no sanitation, replace the

That way, it should be possible to download eevblog RSS, do no sanitation, replace the <iframe>, do sanitation and have a proper email. @kriswilk By the way, the links are for the embedded version of the videos, so it's not a direct link to youtube.

I have made the changes in order to not "sanitize" the input and it does work. However it seems that most (all ?) email clients are blocking iframes anyway. @kriswilk Do you have a special email client in mind ?
