Media channels are hard to test because of their beta/exclusivity status, but for the most part they should operate the same as ForumChannel - do you have any examples/tracebacks we can look at? Or is it just the fact we never added the GUILD_MEDIA type (i.e. if you add media = 16 to enums.py -> ChannelType and adjust channel.py -> _guild_channel_factory to convert ChannelType.media to ForumChannel, does that fix your issues?)
It's hard to test for me, but here is my traceback. Adding the channel type might fix it.

Yeah that's the problem, I'm gonna fix it on master, please test it.
Guild media channels have some extra properties but that shouldn't pose a problem.
To reproduce this, a media channel can ID be put into utils.get_or_fetch
