Media entity browsers

Media module uses entity_browser to manage media select modals. List of the available entity browsers can be found at admin/config/content/entity_browser. By default the media module comes with three entity browsers:

• Gallery media library: It provides an entity browser to select media items for creating a new gallery.
• Media embed: It provides an entity browser for selecting media files to embed in the wysiwyg editor.
• Media library: It provides a general entity browser with a media library which can be used for custom content types.
