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/

Nix,
Did you mean these paths are wrong?

<script type="text/javascript" src="goldbrick/style/highslide.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="goldbrick/style/swfobject.js"></script>

Again, however, others are able to play the video, even on FF. But only on MY IE browser is not working. Are you sure because of its path?

[nix]

probably not then. Did you try firefox? Sounds like IE is blocking Javascript for you.

[rapidphim]

FF is working fine. IE was working fine at first. Then, after I upgraded to vb 3.7 b4, I got the error since then. Even now, I reinstalled 3.6.8, I still got that error. I did even try to upgrade my IE but nothing could be fixed.... this made me so mad... any hints?

If I set them too...
"http://mydomain.com/public_html/goldbrick/style/highslide.js" then YouTube, Veoh, Etc. will play (although defaults to full screen?) but Stage6 will not. If you click the link nothing happens.

If I set them too...
"goldbrick/style/highslide.js" then Stage6 plays perfect but Youtube, Veoh, Etc give the flash error.

Not sure where to go from here. I can PM you login details if you think it would help.

Just looked at your site. You don't have any of the required js files included in your page.

Because I disabled the addon while I was trying other ones to see if they would work. I will just have to fool with yours a little later when I have time.

I think someone already asked this before but there are more than 100 pages in this thread now. Can someone give me a hint on how I upgrade my Any Media Player 3.0.6 to the new Goldbrick Version 1.5. Do I have to uninstall the Any Media Player first or I just overlay all the Medi Player Files. Please give me some hints.
Thanks for awesome work!

Great mod. Just a quick question. I have found that quicktime movies tend to autoload, is there a way of stopping this? Thanks.

[rapidphim]
