To answer your specific question. No. You cannot programmatically change the value of that setting.
If you are trying to use
Sitecore.Resources.Media.MediaManager.GetMediaUrl(mediaItem)to get the URL of aMediaItemthen that is leveraging theSitecore.Resources.Media.MediaProvider, which pulls the value of theMediaLinkPrefixfrom theSitecore.Resources.Media.MediaConfigclass. That property does not have a ‘setter’. Furthermore, the value of that property actually comes fromSitecore.Configuration.Settings.Media.MediaLinkPrefix, which also doesn’t have a setter and is pulled directly from the config file.The
MediaManageris a static class that I believe isn’t able to be swapped out with a custom implementation. And, unlike theLinkManager, theMediaManageris hard coded to use theSitecore.Resources.Media.MediaProviderso you can’t write a custom provider either.
