Media browser native plugin information hook not called

I could use more information on what this happens. The module implements should be assumed to work and we shouldn't have to call this manually. I haven't experienced this recently on any of my sites, so maybe it's something specific to your install? Are you able to reproduce this with a fresh install of core + CTools + Views + File entity + Media?

I can confirm that this is still a problem with 7.x-2.x-unstable6+39dev

The hook is not invoked unless the file (media.media.inc) is loaded, because of the file_exists() check in module_invoke_all().

This is an intermittent problem because media caches the media info array -- so if media_get_browser_plugin_info() is called on one request in which media.media.inc has been loaded, the info will be available for subsequent requests even if that file is not available ... until the cache is cleared.

Probably the easiest way to reproduce the problem is to clear the cache immediately before trying to open the media browser modal from a media field.

Another solution would simply be to move the hook implementation into media.module.

I was encountering this exact same issue on version 7.x-2.0-alpha2+10-dev. I upgraded module to 7.x-2.0-beta1 and the issue disappeared instantly. Based on that, this seems to have been fixed.
