• Add the routing

alpixel_media:
    resource: '@AlpixelMediaBundle/Resources/config/routing.yml'

• Use it in front

There is a twig extension capable of generating URLs, you can call it this way :

<img src='{{myMedia|media_url}}' />
<img src='{{myMedia|media_url({public: false})}}' />

Available options are :

• public : [true]/false should the url be SEO friendly or not ?
• absolute : true/[false] should the URL be relative or not ?
• action : [show]/download what kind of action is expected.
• filter : the liip imagine filter used to render the image. Defaults to null (the original one)

You can also generate the URL by hand. Just look at the MediaController@showMediaAction to see what are the URL expected.
