I have searched for an existing issue based on the above title, and found none, so please forgive me if this is a duplicate, and point me in the right direction. When I try to use the media uploader I get a spinning wheel and nothing else. I wasn't certain which component was failing until I dug into the error message:
An error occurred.
/media/js
Fatal error: Call to undefined function dsm() in sites/all/modules/media/media_upload/media_upload.module on line 195

What can I do?

dsm() is in the devel module at http://drupal.org/project/devel - note that the media module is in heavy development, and currently only in the d7 branch. the d6 branch is far behind, and nowhere near a usable solution yet. d7 is close (expect big things over the next 3 weeks), and we'll work on backporting to d6 soon after that.

Thanks for the quick response!

I am not using Devel (it did many weird things in my Ubuntu setup), and Devel is not in my sites/all/modules folder. We are trying to launch soon (if I can find the right tools). What tools do you recommend in place of Media?

depends on what you want it for.

basically, for local files, stick with FileField, ImageField, and maybe jQuery Media.

for remote files, use Embedded Media Field. (You might use that for certain local files as well, with Flowplayer if you'd rather.)

Thanks a million!

And, thanks also for working on the Media module! There are several pieces of Media that I have enabled, and they work without a hitch. Disabling the media file browser module makes the interface much less confusing, and problem goes away.
