Description

1. Environment

  • Device: [Pixel 8]
  • OS: [Android 15]
  • APP: [0.11.1]

2. Describe the bug

I have a JSON feed behind basic auth in my FreshRSS instance. Images and Videos in "content_html" are displayed in FreshRSS but won't load in ReadYou.

Setting the src for the files to: https://username:password@example.com/image.png doesn't work either.

Research direction

Reproduce the issue with an authenticated FreshRSS JSON feed containing images or videos in content_html, then trace the Android media-loading path used by ReadYou. Done means those media files load correctly when the feed requires basic authentication, including when credentials are provided in the media URL.
