Correct version to require is "drupal/media:1.x-dev".

media:1.x-dev is definitely not correct. But now the initial "composer require drupal/media:8.1.x-dev" worked. Strange.

h@hkrisman From the do composer documentation (https://www.drupal.org/node/2718229):

Specifying a version

you can specify a version from the command line with:

$ composer require drupal/<modulename>:<version>

For example:

$ composer require drupal/ctools:3.0.0-alpha26 $ composer require drupal/token:1.x-dev

In these examples, the composer version 3.0.0-alpha26 maps to the drupal.org version 8.x-3.0-alpha26 and 1.x-dev maps to 8.x-1.x branch on drupal.org.

If you specify a branch, such as 1.x you must add -dev to the end of the version.

Please accept my apologies for opening this issue if not appropriate.

I have tried both of the following:
composer require drupal/media:1.x-dev
composer require drupal/media:8.1.x-dev

And, I get the following:

I have tried the suggestions at the link provided (https://getcomposer.org/doc/articles/troubleshooting.md), but I still get the error.

Any suggestions?

May be you're doing it in the wrong folder? You should be in the root of the project, not web/ or any other.

I'm doing from the root of the project.

All other composer commands work. This is the only one that produces an error.

I am having the same problem with a different module

composer require drupal/views_slideshow:^8.4.3

I think it might not be related to the Media module, probably a different issue.

I can't get composer to install any drupal modules and I can't figure out why.

composer require 'drupal/admin_toolbar:^1.22'

Is composer really necessary here?

It is best to use composer to manage this stuff in Drupal 8. But yes, it would be possible to do it the old fashion way. But I would not recommend it as a long-term plan.
