Re: media view and files on the fly

Sorry, forgot to mention: you also need to tell it to use that view
renderer. In your action:
$this->view = 'AppMedia';

Although the way you have it works too, the only thing you lose is the
ability to access the original MediaView, which isn't a big deal since
this one does all the same things.
