Default dummy image
There are shows/episodes when the image points to a default dummy image(maybe due to non-availability of a high resolution image). But the thumbnails are valid. Examples:
Android Central:
image: https://d3sv2eduhewoas.cloudfront.net/channel/image/ede387f3cc2c432db9f813e845b622f4.jpg
thumbnail: https://d3sv2eduhewoas.cloudfront.net/channel/image/2a1b3e362ccb4c108d7b03bcf806be35.jpe
I should be writing:
image: https://d3sv2eduhewoas.cloudfront.net/channel/image/aab9d7f619074574baea7e0c69e5e289.jpg
thumbnail: https://d3sv2eduhewoas.cloudfront.net/channel/image/3dba2da0b5ca43bda5180ab544c6b404.jpg
I want to fallback to the thumbnail if the high res image is not available. Now the issue is that both images point to the same dummy default image but the urls are different. So there is no programmatic way to identify that the image is the dummy one. So can you provide such a way. Maybe by using the same url across all shows/episodes to point to the dummy image.

Just checked it. Thanks.
Just so you know that I’ve kicked off the process to backfill those missing images – it’s about 80% done so far.
There’s not actionable item from your side. You can continue relying on the image field for high-res images.
Thanks
We get images from RSS feed. But sometimes the image url is invalid (e.g., image deleted, or typo in url) in RSS.
The right way to solve this problem is to fallback & get images from iTunes. I’ll make this happen and backfill data this week.
That said, you don’t need to do anything on your side. No need to fall back to thumbnail.
I’ll update this ticket when changes are done on my side.
