Hello,

In Drupal 7.22, when I go to the media library at admin/content/media and click on a thumbnail, I see page for setting title and description for that image, URL such as media/4051/edit?destination=admin/content/media

But on my site, drupal won't let me save asking me to set the required field "License settings for this image" and the "Media Folder". But the dropdown for license setting contains no selection so impossible to set any license setting.

Questions:

  1. How do I edit these fields? There is no content type for media in /admin/structure/types

  2. How do I add some license settings?

What version of Media module?

What version of the Media module are you using, and any Media addons? Also, are you using File Entity module?

The licensing field should be populated already, so I'm not sure why it's empty for you. Try a blank Drupal install with the Media modules you're using and check if the licensing field is empty on that test site too. Mine appears as expected.

Edit fields: You will need the Entity API module, and there's a separate set of fields for files/media located at: /admin/structure/file-types (may need to enable another module for this page)

In general, to edit a file directly you should see a file admin screen, like the content admin screen, at the following URL: /admin/content/file

Is there a way to have these

Is there a way to have these fields appear directly after uploading a new image file? In my current Drupal 7 setup I must go to the file and click edit to populate these fields, and it would be nice to get redirected to this form when uploading a new image.

We, too, are having this problem

Using Media 7.x-2.0-alpha3 and Media Browser Plus 7.x-3.0.beta2, both recently upgraded from Media 1.x versions.

I am having a similar issue

I am having a similar issue too with the following setup:

  • Media 7.x-1.4
  • NO Media Browser Plus

I have a fresh install with no problems and no license field either:

  • Media 7.x-2.0-alpha3
  • Media Browser Plus 7.x-3.0.beta2

I have the same issue

Impossible to use Media 7.x-2.0alpha3 to insert a movie because the license field is blank.
