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?

Ok I can do that if you want to register. Also where would I set the media tags at? It's acting like there is no bbcode for those tags but I did not see in the instructions anywhere to add custom bbcode for it.

Some further bugs: the mp3 problem is still alive.

.wma .wmv's won't play if uploaded.

If you use quicktime, it won't play videos it asks for some odd extra plugins.

Edit: tried uploading .avi too, didn't play either. The page appears to load forever, and the media player shows up. The play button doesn't work though.

I've moved all attachments to the file system too.

That all should be fixed in the new version.

Oh ok that is why it is showing as a video tag.

But it's still not working. Like it is not parsing that bbcode, because when you enter the url for the video, highlight it and press the M button it surronds the url with the video tags and when you post, instead of displaying the video it shows [VIDEO]videourl here[/VIDEO]

create a temp admin account and pm me the info.
