Display IFPS embeds

Display IFPS videos natively in posts like the youtube vid embeds.

Yes, this would be great.
If the site can just place the video in the post as playable then it can be up to the user to make sure that their hosting is robust.
Also, for people like myself that both surf smoke.io and run and ipfs nodes, anything I watch will be added to my node in the cache to add to the robustness.

People can just make sure their video is mp4 or otherwise playable in most modern browsers.
Also, it's important that as far as censorship goes, youtube and pals aren't exactly saints, but with ipfs even if someone is hosting a video from a dial-up connection the speed might be shit but the file should get there eventually.
You can't stop the signal, Mal.

This is an example player. Does this help?
I'm not sure how the imageproxy works, can it ignore ipfs links? maybe anything with /ipfs/ in it, since hosts can vary?

The good thing about that player is you can put multiple ipfs hosts to try, so can start with 127.0.0.1:8080 to see if the user has a local ipfs, then from there can try cloudflare-ipfs.com and then ipfs.io if the user does not run a local instance.
