Views: Media taxonomy filter
This module adds a new filter to Views, allowing you to filter media items by their taxonomy terms, including sub-terms. It provides the functionality of the "Content has taxonomy term ID (with depth)" filter directly for media entities.
This lightweight module is trying to solve the problem that Views filter named "Content has taxonomy term ID (with depth)" is available only for nodes and can not be used for media entities.

The Module extends Taxonomy module from Drupal core and provides a new filter "Media has taxonomy term ID (with depth)".
Compared to the Taxonomy module that uses relationship table "taxonomy_index" between terms and nodes, this module uses only SQL query on existing tables. Module needs to know the name of your reference field. You must specify the field in the filter settings.
How to use
- Go to your Media Views -> Advanced -> Contextual filters -> Add -> Media has taxonomy term ID (with depth)
- In Reference field: Enter a machine name of the field in the media entity type, which is referencing to a taxonomy
Most of this module code comes from Commerce: Product taxonomy filter. A big thanks to this project maintainers.
