Documentation is at drupalgardens.com but the module installed there is not the same as the module that can be downloaded from drupal.org.
Steps to reproduce:
install fresh drupal site
install media_gallery module with all dependencies
change media_gallery.info to allow for multiform >=beta see http://drupal.org/node/1420216#comment-5548490
add oembed module with all dependencies
add plupload module and dependencies
now the upload appears to be broken, when using the oembed, for example uploading a youtube or vimeo video for youtube does not appear in the proper size and vimeo does not show the preview image.
gallery in drupalgardens - working

installing media_youtube (which should not be needed) fixes the youtube video issue but not vimeo, gallery in vanilla drupal - vimeo without preview and other providers that oembed should accept, are not working.

a testing site created at drupalgardens just needs that gallery module enabled to work.
however in the modules section also the
module gardens-features need to be activated to create the link to the provider page etc.

However, even copying the gardens_features module folder and manually installing it into the standard (vanilla) drupal site does not work completely. (see images)

I am trying to work on this thread as a progress to keep notes not just to myself but to the community. There are other issues that I experienced.

I have now tried to also add media_vimeo to the site
my current modules are listed here:
http://pastebin.com/QrKatETc

When I open the edit-media tab I can't delete single items, the checkbox is not there.
(see attached images)

Here the images from the previous post, as can be seen, there is no checkbox for the deletion of single media items, and the field for the title of the same youtube video is not prepopulated.

After a few more attempts I have started from a drupalgardens-install that was almost working,

the error I got here is now that the media will not upload and when I try to look through existing media in the filesystem, I got an error:
error getting media
I removed this error by removing and deleting the drupal-gardens modules
drush dis gardens_features, gardens_features_required
drush pm-uninstall gardens_features, gardens_features_required
now I have created a site with the following modules enabled:
http://pastebin.com/Ua4YTPs2

after tweaking the file-styles many things started to fall into places...
not yet in the completely right places though, however I managed to have small empty boxes with descriptions when I hover over them. And by clicking I get a window that displays a vimeo or youtube video..

it appears that the oembed feature is not working outside of drupalgardens. I made the youtube and vimeo videos play by installing media_vimeo and media_youtube. Now I got the images display in a lightbox, too...
seems as if everything is working in my setup like this:

I am quite happy now, just missing some more features that I might hack together somehow.
for Vimeo I had to adjust the image settings manually, and I have not found out, how this works for oembed videos or images (tried with blip.tv and flickr)

Could you update the title to reflect what the issue is really about?
