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:
Quote:
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:
Quote:
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.

Thanks. I had previously downloaded that player but did not want to upload it cause the filesizes were extremely different. I'll give this a shot and let you know how it goes.
I would love for local videos to appear like supported site videos with the video thumbnail versus the Anymedia icon, and the video title versus "click here to watch video." I am sure you are working on this for a future release, so in the meantime, can you suggest a way I can make it work? Like maybe adding an html file with the video embedded and specific code for Anymedia, then using that as the link versus the actual file link. Any help you can give would be appreciated.
Thanks

Why not just add it in user options and let the user select their Anymedia style preference? I think allowing admin to decide upon install or allowing users to select their style preference is a good idea. Even though I prefer Highslide, I can see why others might prefer the original.
The reason why it can't really be a user setting is that it goest in the posted phrased and isn't converted again. So it would it would what ever the style is for the person who posted.
Not sure about the thumb for the local files. They don't have thumb nails by default. You would have to create one.
