I installed the media youtube module. The Media Browser works and node-based views that display media fields display them correctly.

In this case I have created a view of files since I want to display all videos that have been added to media, regardless of whether or not they have been attached to any node. Then I added the following fields to the view:

File: File ID (File ID)
File: Name
File: Path
File: Name (Name)
File: Mime type (Mime type)

However, I can't figure out what settings will produce thumbnails (or any other size display of the videos). I can only produce a list of field data like this:

File ID: 582
node/582
http://youtube.com/watch?v=wLIqp7o8FnQ
Name: wLIqp7o8FnQ
Mime type: video/youtube

Can anyone help? I have studied the Media Browser view and I don't understand why its settings produce thumbnails. Cloning that view display does not produce thumbnails...Can anyone provide the correct configuration recipe?

I would also like to know how to create a view of video thumbnails which link straight to the video

Have you had any luck with this?

I have managed to produce a similar view by adding the field 'content:video' to the view. I have then configured this field to show image thumbnail (linked to node)

I have not had any luck yet. Since I am trying to make a view of all media from the media library, some of which are not attached to a node, I do not have the field content:video at my disposal.

This issue still remains. Anyone out there have a solution yet? Does updating to rc2 (or to 2.0-dev) solve the problem?

Project: D7 Media » Views Media Browser
Version: 7.x-1.0-rc2 » 7.x-1.0

If I clone the thumbnail view, then then cloned display does not actually display thumbnails the way the original does. Instead I get this:

120608-Ladies' Lab.jpg
File ID: 942
Mime type: image/jpeg
Name: 120608-Ladies' Lab.jpg
Path: public://null/120608-Ladies' Lab.jpg
Size: 70.59 KB

My goal is to produce a view of a filtered subset of media images, not as a list of links to the images, but as a list of actual images (which can then be displayed as a slideshow with the Views Slideshow module). Has anyone gotten this to work?

Should I upgrade to Media 7.x-2.dev and Views Media Browser 7.x-2.dev instead?

I got it by adding a field and re-writing it as:
<img src=[uri]>

However, there is no such re-write in the original display settings for the Views Media Browser thumbnail view.
