Not Planned [XF1] Support of Media files with appropriate players

While this would be great, you are basically asking for Showcase to become a media gallery with video and audio. This by definition includes video & audio transcoding through FFMPEG and adding a new media player like JWPlayer to Showcase. I agree this would be awesome. But it seems a really tall order.

 

@Dadparvar It doesn't work like this. Let's take a step back first and reconsider what functionality we would really like to see. Then post these as small separate suggestions so that it becomes realistic to implement IF @Bob is interested in implementing. Making small suggestions also gives a better chance of getting the functionality you'd like to see.

For AMS Bob has already implemented a function to show XFMG video on items. Users can upload video to XFMG and then show it on an item. As this is a really nice, I have suggested the same for showcase. This would get video's displayed on showcase items.

IMHO uploading video's should be done to XFMG. Maybe in a later stage there could be a more advanced interface that allows users to upload media to XFMG from an item. This is on Bob's radar for the future. At least for AMS. Feel free to make a suggestion for showcase as well.

In regard to audio: there is no audio support in XFMG and it does not look like it will be added. Its possible to upload audio files to showcase through file upload. These can be played through file download in a local player. Not pretty, but its something.
We do have many audio files that are added to articles, reviews, showcases so it would be nice to have an html audio markup for audio attachments in the sidebar. Browsers have an audio player included. I don't know if its a feasible suggestion.
