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/

any chance of adding veoh.com video site to this?

and does this handle people uploading video files (wmv, mov etc) files as attachments?

[Finster]

What we REALLY need is to add Stage6 at Stage6.com to this mod!

Stage6 seems to be the best player out there for HD.

Not sure. When I download it I see it just fine. Does anyone else have this problem?

[RedGTiVR6]

Perhaps you can email it to me? Or someone can email it to me?

[Dannyloski]

I DL'ed it again, seems fine ... RedGTiVR6, have you tried extracting it and then seeing if the file sizes increase? Try that ... If not, what's your email?

[RedGTiVR6]

I've now tried downloading through a different connection and still no dice. It still gives me the same files as in the screen shot above.

Uploading the files that were in the download that I got for some reason upgrades me to 3.06, not 3.07 and it doesn't fix the issue with YouTube on our board.

Would someone be so kind as to send me the most recent files?

Specifically what bug was fixed in 3.07?

[Subah]

Cool thanks , hope to add Photobucket to the collection

[Dannyloski]

The uploaded files is 3.07, he just forgot to change the version to 3.07, so it shows as 3.06 .. it contains all the fixes though ... the bug that was fixed was one that nix found, dont know exactly what it was ... What is the issue with your YouTube?

[nix]

I'll be uploading 3.0.8 here in a bit. Has all of youtubes and google uk.

The bug that 3.0.7 fixed was an template edit I left in. If you go in the anymedia template and look and make sure the forum paths are correct.
