Added var_dump of $media custom field

@Irata $video and $media are both custom fields, and are encountering the same issue. I have included the var_dump for the $media custom field for reference.

@Irata I have added a print_r of the $video variable to my original question. There does not seem to be any values assigned to the one selected from the blog listing. This means it should not display if empty.

Added dump output of problematic variable

If you add a <?php var_dump($media); ?> statement inside your if block to see what the real properties are of $media at the time the condition is checked. It may not be as empty as you think.
