filed as bug39033 "Enhancement RSS embedded media: add enclosure tag"

I am curious to know if I can also display media files from the RSS feeds with this extension. I didn't see anything specific about that either way.

Yes, the up-to-date version on github https://github.com/Wikinaut/mediawiki-extension-RSS does support the display of for example images as part of RSS items. (The most recent version is currently hosted on my github repository).

Please carefully set up the parameters of your mediawiki installation and the RSS extension as explained in detail in Extension:RSS#Configuration_settings.

Ok, I've got the latest version now. I'm running mediawiki 1.17 and I have this code in the localsettings, "$wgRSSUrlWhitelist = array('*');" and I am testing it with this feed, "<rss>http://nogutsnogalaxy.net/category/podcasts/|charset=UTF-8|short|max=5</rss>". When I try to preview the page, I get the following error:

Unexpected non-MediaWiki exception encountered, of type "HttpException"
exception 'HttpException' with message 'HttpRequest::factory() expects parameter 2 to be long, array given' in /home/mwowiki8/public_html/wiki/extensions/RSS/RSSParser.php:297
Stack trace:

update your MediaWiki to the latest version from git. I can confirm it works with a441912974

I just saw that you are using the old syntax

<rss>http://nogutsnogalaxy.net/category/podcasts/|charset=UTF-8|short|max=5</rss>

Please visit the manual. Please change to

<rss max=5>http://nogutsnogalaxy.net/feed/</rss>

and try again. You will notice, that the RSS feed is rendered, but the mp3 link/s is/are not shown; these are in <enclosure> tags, I haven't seen before. Added as bug/enhancement to bugzilla.

I was curious to know what the status of this bug is. I couldn't follow up on bug39033.
