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/

Database error in vBulletin 3.6.8:

Invalid SQL:

btw... yah... major problems after try to EDIT a post with a media tag.

both in quick edit (post would DISAPPEAR then edits wouldn't "take") and advanced edit (got that db error )

[GrendelKhan{TSU]

hmmm... browsers really don't like playing uploaded media file (like wmv file).

- does weird thing, plays, then freezes/crashes FireFox.
- IE7: doesn't play, close the player (close button only appears on mouseover), then crashes page if try to play again.

AGain, videos work for flashsite permalinks as long as you don't try to edit the post. and don't seem to work and crashes browsers for uploaded wmv files.

BUG:
using the [ noparse ] bbcode with the [ media ] tag causes a db error.


INCOMPATIBILITY:
[ media ] causes db error when post a new wiki article using nuWiki

demo:
Unreal Tournament WIKI
UA's wiki for Unreal Tournament

that's not the code you are supposed to use. you are supposed to use the PERMANENT LINK URL.

NOT the embed code.

Thanks for checking.

Hey, Nix.

I have also tried this with a .flv file we have on another of our servers which works perfectly on the old AnyMedia running on 3.5.4 but all I get is a blank post on 3.6.8.

edit post shouldn't effect it. I wonder if its because of vbseo.
