Any plan to support mediarss?

Hi,

I have quite some feeds using mediarss. E.g. mastodon users feeds use this for referring to attachments in their posts, and the attachments are often relevant to the topic. Most of the time, the media:content tags refer to an image, which can conveniently displayed with shr.

Do you have any plan to support this in elfeed?

I have hacked something quick based on the 'enclosures' code, but I was wondering if you would be interested in more officially supporting this?

@tho- Could you show your hacked code? It would be interesting to see what you've got.

I was about share my small patch, but I noticed that there were many new recent commits preventing me from rebasing the changes. I'll work on fixing that and come back here with more info.

Thanks. This would be great. I converted this to a discussion for the time being, since I am unsure to what extent Elfeed should support such media features. There is also an open discussion about thumbnails in feeds, see #612. Some multimedia features might better fit in an extension like elfeed-tube. Maybe your patch helps understanding better what a reasonable baseline for multimedia support could look like.
