# Feature: #66366 - Introduced MediaViewHelper

See [forge#66366](https://forge.typo3.org/issues/66366)

## Description

In order to comfortably render video, audio and all other file types with a registered Renderer class (`RenderingRegistry`
introduced with #61800) in FE, the `MediaViewHelper` has been added.

The `MediaViewHelper` first checks if there is a Renderer present for the given file. If not,  it will as fallback
render an image tag. This way it is a replacement for the `ImageViewHelper` in most cases when rendering video and
audio tags.

### Examples:

```html
<code title="Image Object">
    <f:media file="{file}" width="400" height="375" />
</code>
<output>
    <img alt="alt set in image record" src="fileadmin/_processed_/323223424.png" width="396" height="375" />
</output>

<code title="MP4 Video Object">
    <f:media file="{file}" width="400" height="375" />
</code>
<output>
    <video width="400" height="375" controls><source src="fileadmin/user_upload/my-video.mp4" type="video/mp4"></video>
</output>

<code title="MP4 Video Object with loop and autoplay option set">
    <f:media file="{file}" width="400" height="375" additionalConfig="{loop: '1', autoplay: '1'}" />
</code>
<output>
    <video width="400" height="375" controls loop><source src="fileadmin/user_upload/my-video.mp4" type="video/mp4"></video>
</output>
```
