New Posting Features - VB AnyMedia Player / Media Sites (youtube, google and many more)

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/

What's new in Goldbrick?

Thank you. It's deeply aprecaited.

Anxiously looking forward to it.

If anyone want's to start doing sites send me a pm and I'll show you the format they need to be and I'll add them in at release. I'll probably only have about 10 main ones done. I'll add more later and users will be able to add their own.

I think background dimming with video would be awesome.

Shhhh. It's already in But don't tell anyone. It was a surprise.

I've seen AME and the other video mod. Not a fan of how either of them work. With AME all of those 75 sites will be in database. Not ideal for a large site IMO. And the other one process the video will every view.

Let me see if I can whip out a version of the new one by next week.

Thanks for sticking with me

=( I am really sorry about these bad news, I don't know what to say.... hope everything runs for you better later on <3

Oh man, nix, so sorry to hear about all of this. Take care of yourself and your family. I've had some bad stretches in the past myself, and the best wisdom I can pass along is that "this, too, shall pass."

Hang in there.

No worries, mate. We're all very appreciative of the great work you've chosen to share with us. Take your time and do whatever's comfortable for you.

Dear venerated coder person:

The users on the vbul site I program have been overall very happy with anymedia! Recently some of them have begun to shoot their own High-Def content which is encoded in a widescreen / panoramic style format.

When they upload these to be used with anymedia, the thickclient (of course) opens up in it's normal aspect ratio, which clips off the left and right of these wide-format uploads.

My question is.. is there some setting I am missing like 'This upload is wide aspect'? Or if not, do you have any plans to support wide format uploads in a future version of anymedia?

We are currently using Anymedia version 3.1.0.2

T.I.A. !!

hello,

everything works fine except for linkback and direct post access, I get this error :

Fatal error: Call to a member function cache_localized_forums() on a non-object in /home/misterb/www/forums/includes/functions.php(1054) : eval()'d code on line 4

Any idea ?
