We do actually support Media RSS in a limited fashion:
The YouTube: channel spout uses the media:thumbnail
to get a video preview:
And so does the RSS Feed Images spout:
Unfortunately, selfoss currently shows thumbnails even when the item is collapsed, which is pretty ugly.
I agree that adding proper support for Media RSS is a good idea.
I would just put all the media contents below the main body. Will need to check that SimplePie does not show both enclosures and media content (it would duplicate it in pramatube feed).
Maybe we could also drop the images and enclosures spouts in favour of the main one.
Some video platform like Youtube or Peertube use the Media-RSS extension to provide metadata about the videos. They generally do not use the whole tags available, but provide tags for the video description, the thumbnail, and the number of views.
It would be amazing if selfoss could at least display the thumbnail and the description for videos.
