Description
Create a better indication, perhaps with a message when media fails to load or upload (for example due to no network connection).
Currently, when an upload fails only a red overlay is shown without any explanation. When an existing media can't be downloaded there is just an error icon, but again, no explanation:

Research direction
No files or tests are named. Start by locating the media upload and download failure handling, then reproduce both failures, including a disconnected network. Done means failed uploads and unavailable existing media show an explanatory error message rather than only a red overlay or error icon.
