Alright, I have NO clue why this is happening, but no matter what I pass to Fetch, I'm getting back "Interface\TargetingFrame\UI-StatusBar" as a texture. SharedMedia is enabled and injecting textures properly (other addons such as Omen and pitbull can find the texture I'm trying to use just fine). Did I miss something?
you asking for Smooth, if that texture hasnt been loaded yet, youll get the ui-Statusbar default. You should add a callback so you know when a texture is registered.
function mediaRegistered(mediaType,mediaKey)
if mediaKey == "Smooth" then
-- HEY the bar is was looking for was registered!
end
end
LSM:RegisterCallback("LibSharedMedia_Registered",mediaRegistered)
Ah okay, I saw that bit of code when I was rummaging around in Omen, but I assumed it was watching for the stuff that omen registers itself, and not waiting for LSM to get around to registering stuff from SharedMedia.
Which is a bad idea. Use the callbacks or don't use the library at all. SharedMedia is not the only addon that registers media to LibSharedMedia-3.0 so OptDep'ing SharedMedia is not a viable solution.
I have to agree with Arrowmaster that OptDep'ing SharedMedia is half-assed at best now that there are a good number of addons that inject their own textures into the mix. The callback mechanism is there and should be used.

You may refer to LibSharedMedia callback code in Omen3. It is similar to what kagaro posted.
You SHOULD OptDep embedded libraries. LibSharedMedia-3.0 is an embedded library and SHOULD be OptDeped. SharedMedia is not an embedded library and SHOULD NOT be OptDeped.

Or, more specific:
Why shouldn't i OptDep it, if I use the callback?
