There were a few issue with the current widget that were road blocks on our project and things seemed to be in flux with current widget so we set put to build a new one aimed at using views as browsers and with a way to edit meta data of the media.

I have a working (if buggy) module on git hub.
https://github.com/phase2/media_views_widget
git://github.com/phase2/media_views_widget.git

It provides the media field with

  • a preview of the media,
  • a select button (which opens the views browser, and an upload new tab)
  • a meta data button (which opens a dialog to edit the meta data of the image
  • and a remove button which removes the current media from the field

there are some known bugs with the current code

  • issue with multiple item fields
  • ajax exposed filter on views does not work on first page

The field is built with each of the buttons set to an ajax call and refresh the field, there is also an empty div that is sent along. This div becomes the dialog on the insert and meta data button calls.

I am hoping this could be incorporated as a alternative widget to the main media widget
