    Errors when installing on a moodle 2.3 site:
    Invalid get_string() identifier: 'modulename' or component 'media'. Perhaps you are missing $string['modulename'] = ''; in lang/en/media.php?
    The module media does not define the standard capability mod/media:addinstance

    This module doesn't display language strings properly in 2.4 and causes conflict when trying to edit localization files "Activity module and core subsystem name collision". See more here:
