Media styles workaround (extremely fragmented notes)

Summary of What's Working

<?php
/**
 * Define additional view modes for Media formatting.
 */
function feature_media_configuration_entity_info_alter(&$entity_info) {
  // Based on RobW's code: http://drupal.org/node/1026790#comment-4667062
  // Media module only recognizes view modes with the prefix media_.
 
  // View mode for mobile slideshow images
  $entity_info['file']['view modes']['media_mobile_slideshow'] = array(
    'label' => t('Mobile Slideshow'),
    'custom settings' => TRUE,
  );
}
?>

We have a pretty annoying bug/feature in Media at the moment, which is that the only way for images to actually show up is [to define a build mode related setting and attach the style to that]

We therefore had to create custom view modes (in code) to have a proper set of ex

The File Entity component is the key for exporting this relationship between build [mode and image style]
