Is it possible to add, say video, to your media lib. by simply supplying a URL to a CDN file storage?

Ex.:
http://c1813712.r12.cf0.rackcdn.com/TronLegacy-Feature.m4v

This would make a really cool feature since most people handle encoding and big files of the web server with the Drupal install.

Title: Integration to external file storage » Support for external media files
Version: 7.x-1.0-beta4 » 7.x-1.x-dev
Component: Miscellaneous » Code

I have the need for this too, for I wish to display images in my site which are from external sources.

This is easily done in long text areas using a wysiwyg so that's not a problem. The problem begins when I want to have a field which in it's essence is an external media file.

This was possible in D6 using the Embedded Media Field (emfield) module. Media is supposed to replace emfield in D7 and it lacks this functionality.

There's also a workaround using views' rewrite of text fields:

Would it be a lot of work to make this module?
