Hello,

I tried to use rssdler to automatically download images from an RSS feed. The problem is,
that rssdler loads the html files from the <link> tags. I need an option to say rssdler to use
the URL from the url attribute of the <media:content> tags.

Could you please add an option to specify the tags and/or attributes it should use for the
download URLs?

The RSS feed looks like (if you need the original RSS feed, I can send it to you per PM):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<rss version="2.0" xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" xmlns:atom="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom">
