Image Compression on RSS Ticker

I’m noticing that some images come in a very large size without any compression.

What if you implemented the compression of images?

This will greatly reduce bandwidth and storage space.

In wordpress there is a plugin called “imsanity” that does this, the user defines the settings and all the images sent that meet the parameters are automatically compressed and resized.

They could also allow you to set a limit for displaying news on the rss ticker.

So that the old ones with more than 1 or 2 months were erased.

Or a maximum limit of news, 10, 20, 30, where whenever a new one was added an old one was deleted.

The way the media folder is growing infinitely. it does not make sense to display this.

Hello.
I created a code that reduces the size of the ticker widget images.

Just create a php file in the root folder of the hosting “out of the xibo folder”, configure the parameters according to your need and run the file.

However, this file must be executed frequently because the widget is always downloading new images.

How about adapting my code code to compress the images of the widget as soon as they were downloaded?

Thanks for consider my sugestion.
