It would be extremely handy if Media defined some media-field-value tokens, so modules like, but not restricted to, Custom Formatters could use the tokens when creating Token based formatters.

I'm sure there are plenty other benefits to having Media tokens, but I'm just concentrating directly on my personal needs at this moment.

Hope you consider.

Cheers,
Deciphered.

It would be nice if we could have tokens for:
- title
- url
- thumbnail

and maybe other properties

This is postponed pending Field tokens being fully supported.

Hey,

At the moment it is already possible with the help of the Rules Module.

I just tested to set the node TITLE to the MEDIA YOUTUBE FILENAME after creating OR updating a node.
Works perfect!

Hint: Use the Rules Data Selector to drill down to your video field properties.

e.g. something like this:
node:field-video:0:file:name

Versions used:
Media 7.x-2.0-unstable6
Media Youtube 7.x-2.0-rc1
Rules 2.2
and all depending current entity api and entity token stuff...

Cheers,
Simon

Forgot to report before that I've been playing with @piyuesh23's sandbox and it worked as advertised.

Here's the file structure:

Here's the token configuration for a given content type

I know that this issue is waiting on Field tokens being fully supported but that sandbox module is pretty cool for those who can't wait or need to scale with numerous multimedia assets that need to be split across several dirs.
