Media ViewHelper <f:media>

Render a given media file with the correct html tag.

It asks the RendererRegistry for the correct Renderer class and if not found it falls back to the ImageViewHelper as that is the "Renderer" class for images in Fluid context.

Examples

<f:media file="{file}" width="400" height="375" />

Output:

<img alt="alt set in image record" src="fileadmin/_processed_/323223424.png" width="396" height="375" />
Copied!

<f:media file="{file}" width="400" height="375" />

Output:

Copied!

MP4 Video Object with loop and autoplay option set

<f:media file="{file}" width="400" height="375" additionalConfig="{loop: '1', autoplay: '1'}" />
