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?

• Complete code overhaul.
• Plays most media types.
• Forum admins can add their own video sites
• Updated Highslide.js
• Attachment Images work with Goldbrick

Just FYI everyone. No coder/developer is going to support php4 anymore. It has been dropped and no more updates except critical anymore straight from php them self. This has been dropped for a long time. So everything new or in past 2 years should have been php5+ we are now in php6 world. People still in php4 need to upgrade pronto.

Great hack and working like a charm. No issues with the small edits I made either to make pictures next to each other.

I have noticed that the goldbrickplay.gif doesnt always appear for the videos where grabbing a thumbnail/title may be hard to retrieve like it should.

Any idea as to why?

Thanks in advance

Damn. I did everything according to the manual, but I get a blank (white) page when i try to use the [media] tag. I had to disable the mod so I can get most of my threads back to normal. I was using an older version of AnyMedia previously, and it was working perfectly. I tried to upgrade to the new Goldbrick version, but I guess I'm f@#$#$ now.

I even deleted all previous files. It still shows a blank page.
Any ideas guys?

Thanks in advance.

Do you have php5? If you're getting a blank white page check to see if your host has PHP's error reporting being displayed.

Can be any videos or sites. You can add your own if its not supported.
