hey guys,
I was trying to get Media going so I could start playing with it, and I went to the Media project page, looked through the required modules and installed them individually, then installed the Media module. I went for the 7.x-2.0-alpha2 version because I'm in the Media group and noticed that a lot of people said they were using this version just fine.
I went to add a photo to my sample animal profile (content type), and after I clicked select I got this error:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function media_type_get_types() in /home/content/41/7901441/html/sites/all/modules/oembed/media_oembed/media_oembed.module on line 78
When I tried to find the solution, I found some info that suggested the error was caused by using a different version of oEmbed than Media.
SO I decided I'd try to uninstall oEmbed and then reinstall a more suitable version.
But there were 4-5 different modules listed that included oEmbed in the name, and some of them were greyed out- so I wouldn't be able to disable and uninstall them anyway!
I opted to uninstall the one that said Media oEmbed, and this appeared to work- but Media oEmbed remained on the list.
What now?
And is there a moral here that I should always let my chosen modules installation select its own dependent modules to avoid this kind of problem?

What version of oembed are
What version of oembed are you using? Neither 7.x-0.x-dev (they should have released 7.x-0.1-beta4 ages ago) nor 7.x-1.0-rc2 have this problem.
fixed
I was using oEmbed 7.x-0.1-beta3.
It was not "Media oEmbed" causing the problem, it was one of the modules in the set of 5 oEmbed modules whose names start with "oEmbed". I had to disable all these as well (it took 2 tries, one to disable the oEmbed extras, and one to disable oEmbed core) I was then able to uninstall all 6 modules, again in two "uninstalls"
This corrected the error. After further discussion, I've discovered I don't really need the oEmbed module, so it should not be an issue going forward.
