Don't you mean {{MEDIA_URL}} ? media_root gives you a path on the disk
where the files are stored, not the URL from where the files on that
path are served.

I'm not sure this is what you want.. See
http://docs.python.org/library/os.path.html#os.path.dirname
on how dirname works. I suppose you'd want something like:

HOME = os.path.abspath(os.path.dirname(__file__)) # get the path for settings.py
MEDIA_ROOT = os.path.join(HOME,'appname/media/')

And you'll probably need to add /js/ to the src="" attribute of the script tag.
