This patch is much more hacky than I would like, but I haven't found a clean way to do it yet without making changes to media or media_internet module. On the one hand, I'm not sure a provider module should be responsible for doing this. On the other hand, different providers may have different needs here.

seems like that would better go to the media module -- all media could then have a link to the original, and you wouldn't need to do this per provider.

@aaron: Any ideas on how to do this?

oops, need to match up spans...

note we can't use drupal_realpath() for local media, as that returns the system file path, rather than a url. that's why we instantiate the stream wrapper and call getExternalURL().

actually I should re-factor that to use file_create_url

and actually, now looking at things, there does seem to be a link to the original media rather than a thumbnail. Things have changed since last year I suppose
