The major changes between Media 1.x and 2.x so far are the following:
- The File entity module which provides most of the underlying API has been moved to its own project at http://drupal.org/project/file_entity. When updating from 1.x to 2.x you'll need to ensure you download and enable this module separately. You will also need to ensure that the file_entity module included in the Media module directory is removed on update.
- The Library tab in the Media browser is being converted to a Views-powered tab named 'Views library' enabled by default. The old library tab which is deprecated is named 'Library'. This means that Views is now a dependency for 2.x as well.
- You can change which Media browser tabs appear for a field using the 'Media file selector' widget. For example, for a specific file field on your article content type, you can specify that only the 'Upload' tab can be visible. See http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xHbTFID5tvE for how to configure this feature.
- The 'Multimedia asset' field has been deprecated and moved to its own sub-module. Site builders are recommended to use the core Image and File fields for handling file and media (and use the 'Media file selector widget for those fields) rather than using 'Multimedia asset' fields.
- The media widget for 2.x includes an 'Edit media' button which allows users to edit the fields on the selected file in a CTools modal window.

Also for mobile viewers on android atleast it's nice if you use the standard youtube link because you can view it in the youtube player that way.

Compatibility between V1 and V2?
Hi, I would like to ask if the compatibility will be provided between the Version 1 and Version 2 of the D7 Media module? Will there be needed any special interactions or it will be done via the update.php script?
Thank you

Can I ask what is to be done to upgrade from Media 1 to Media 2?

The obvious update code and update db weren't enough for me. I had to write a custom drush command to migrate some table names and such. This was for a multisite, so it made sense to write a drush command that i could execute and track progress with. This was about a year ago, so it might be better by now. My only tip would be clone your production instance and practice the upgrade until you get it right.
How *exactly* to upgrade from 1.x to 2.x?
How exactly should I migrate between 1.x and 2.x if you already have content associated with the Media module?
I installed Media 2.x and all other required modules, but now many sections of my admin panel are giving me errors about things not found etc. I assume there is no real smooth way to upgrade? (At least, not yet? an ETA would be great)
3.x?
Can anyone give an update on media 7.x-1.3? it seems to be the final release of the 1.2 branch but I can't find any confirmation of that.
