Goldbrick Media system for vBulletin 3.6.x

Thanks to all who nominated or voted this for MOTM.

Some of you might be looking for Anymedia. Well this has replaced it. It's a total rewrite from the ground up. A huge thanks goes to Sir Adrian for creating the framework. He can't cook soup but he sure can code.

Why the name goldbrck?

From Wikipedia:

Goldbricking, in today's terms, generally refers to staff who use their work internet access for personal reasons while maintaining the appearance of working.

From Urban Dictionary:

Goldbricking: To loaf or goof around on the job. Supposedly an old union term describing laborers (or more specifically, bricklayers) who were going so slow, it was as if each brick were made of solid gold. One can alse be referred to as a "goldbricker".

Dude, I spent all day at work goldbricking - surfing the web, making long distance phone calls - basically just picking my ass.

Goldbrick uses the following third party Products:

• Highslide Javascript. I've packaged it with the 3.1 download. Please read the license agreement on highlide's website. In short it's free for non-commercial use. http://vikjavev.no/highslide/
• - - -
• The media player and mp3 player are from http://www.jeroenwijering.com/

It shows the player but the WMV movie does not play even if I click PLAY.

AS you can see on the attachment.

Why would this be happening?

I really would appreciate if anyone can test this out and let me know if it works for them or not. A direct link to prove it working would be great.

Does this add LINKS to the videos on other sites then play them? Or does it load them on mine? Just checking to be sure.

Also hope you'll be confirming compatibility with VB3.7

Installed but have a couple of problems. The embedded media says 'loading' but never pops up? And how do you get the M to appear in the toolbar?

[nycofox]

I upgraded to the latest version today, and the whole thing seemed to stop working. After browsing through almost every single post here I still can't find a good solution. Bitfields, reinstalling, uninstalling, disabling/enabling, triple-checking the templates... I think my forum don't recognize it as being installed since it won't show the blue M in the editors, and every post with a media tag now just shows the url with the [MEDIA]-tag visible.

Example here: http://alkis.net/showthread.php?t=1585

Any help would be much appreciated, I'm sure I just miss one small but vital detail somewhere
