To add a custom post type to the media manager gallery interface, simply add ‘shiba-mlib’ into the supports list during the register_post_type function call.
In addition to expanded post type searches, we also expanded image searches to include title and alt text. Previously, searches were only performed based on title.
Here is a tutorial on how I expanded the media manager interface.
2. Number of Posts Containing a Given Image
We can now show the number of posts containing a given image in the Media >> Library screen.
Clicking on the numbered posts link will show us the actual posts containing the image.
Currently, images included in galleries are *not* counted. We only count images that are directly inserted into the post content. Note that enabling this option will increase load time of the Media >> Library page.
3. New Options/Settings Page
The Galleries >> Options page has been given a face-lift. In addition, we can enable or disable all of the functions described above.

Thanks for reporting this. I have fixed it, but have a couple of things I want to do in addition. After that and a bit of testing, I will release a patch.
Just found your plugin today while researching , Absolutely in love with the idea of using the native media frame. I would love to help out with testing on WP 3.8
Thanks
Hi, Have you released the patch for this yet?
Yes, all updates are listed in the main plugin page.

I would LOVE this plugin if would be possible to create a dynamic Gallery based on Media-Tags. I know, upload the image with Tags and shows up in the galleries with those tags!
Why is shiba media library no longer available directly through WP plugins?
It has never been on wp plugins.
most people like to install plugins from wordpress.org/plugins.
you can check reviews and support. and it is more save.
this plugin looks very interesting, why not upload it to wordpress.org??
Bad past experience.
