more sources like in FileField Sources
local file/ftp directory, IMCE?, autocomplete box for everything
new code? steal it? merge modules?

can live without this for now, but at some point, would be good to have

confirmed, thanks =)

* Re-use files by an auto-complete textfield -- @ library
* Attach server-side files uploaded via FTP -- @ admin/content/file/import
* Transfer files from a remote server (cURL required) @ web
* Select existing files through the IMCE file browser @ library, media button in WYSIWYG

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but "Transfer files from a remote server (cURL required)" isn't the same as the Media module's web component (which just pulls the data as users request it).

For my application, I need to automatically store the file on my server. I'd like to be able to allow the users to put in any URL that links to a downloadable file, without having to have specific internet source provider (ie Media: YouTube). Of course, it would only work that way if the URL was an actual file (http://example.com/foo.png), not a generic URL to an html page.

To have media module's dialog as a filefield source would bring the best experience to the editor/user (having the power of media module's asset management if needed, and simpler filedfield sources in all the other simpler use case), see http://drupal.org/node/1139642

@chirhotec:

Download remote media to local server - Media Internet (included with media)
Use external files with file fields without saving the files to your local files directory - Remote stream wrapper

Related issues: +#1139642: Integrate Filefield Sources with Media Module

Has anyone tried hooking the media selector popup into a custom filefield sources plugin? If so, please comment in #1139642: Integrate Filefield Sources with Media Module if you think it is good enough to serve as a starting point for future development.

Status of this feature in both project queues is fixed / won't fix and well, there isn't really any integration (very limited support via FF Sources references plugin).

I may get time this afternoon or tomorrow to take a stab at this.
