I would love to view albums from a gallery2 (http://gallery.menalto.com/) website as a photocast in Canola. Has anyone got that done already?

I know that gallery2's own rss module (http://codex.gallery2.org/Gallery2:Modules:rss) is not supposed to be fit for the purpose, because it puts out code to be rendered by an html engine (example (http://album.dodosdojo.net/main.php?g2_view=rss.SimpleRender&g2_itemId=15)).

Now I found this third party php script that renders mediaRss (http://www.flashyourweb.com/staticpages/index.php?page=mini_2.0.5) with media:content tags, and my hopes were high. But it does not work in Canola either. The progress indicator just keeps spinning indefinitely.

This is an example output (http://album.dodosdojo.net/mediaRss.php?g2_itemId=15) of the script.

Any ideas?

I tried getting this to work today by modifying the mediaRss script, but got nowhere. From what I can tell, it SHOULD work. I'm curious what exactly Canola requires to see pictures in an RSS feed. I looked a little, but didn't find any documentation.

I haven't tried it yet, but the 2.3 version of Gallery is supposed to have better MediaRSS support built-in. You can try it out now by grabbing the nightly build which is apparently pretty stable.
