New Posting Features - VB AnyMedia Player / Media Sites (youtube, google and many more)

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/

I have saerched up and down in this thread.

I have uploaded wmv and FLV file types to my website, I used the anymedia BBcode and a flash link appears, but it just has the M on it and when you get the flash player to open and hit play, it just sits there and loads, never to open.

With the WMV, you click play nothing happens as well.

I did all the template mods according to the guide, and everything in order....what am I doing wrong?

EDIT - OK it works as an attachment, but only that. It can't find the file when I do it the other way (I tried putting in a fake file name and got the same thing...) Any reason why this is? I have typed the file name in short address and long address..

I'm talking about the highslide attachment viewer MOD found here: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...ight=highslide

Whenever I enable the media view, the attachment viewer script shows loading... and never actually expands the image. I have tried many settings to try and persuade it to work but it looks as though there are conflicts including turning off both the anymedia attachment functions.

I have this exact same problem the ajax does not open up, it just say 'loading' on the youtube thumbnail picture, without actually loading and no ajax, same problem

Thought it was sad that sdebank's question went completely and utterly ignored when it was extremely important for some of us :erm:

i have problems with this one on FireFox! Files opens on a new window!

please

Okay, I stumbled upon the disable AM by forum function under the Forum Manager Screen(arg).
I hate it when that happens.

Both MOD's(AnyMedia/Highslide Image View) work seamlessly now.

Installed, it sound nice (: but I am a bit confused , is this something like an attachment or like a vbtube kinda software ?

Like let say it support all these videos ? ex : megavideo.com
does it amble these videos or something ? Just need a little clarification on this

excuse my English (:

best regard.

Nvm the first question =]

I've realized these bugs :
the new ones like megarotic.com don't play . it shows blank or 403 forbidden
Tried it again. it shows up in a new window not in the small window that pop up once you click on t he link or the pic. like megavideo.com it works perfect.

and the thumbs of the video, i mean the pic don't show up for megarotic. It shows a blank line.
The "M" gift don't show up , even though i added it to the ftp.

Hi, I was looking at the code in this plugin and I noticed that it's using an older version of "highslide". Since Highslide has undergone some healthy updates recently(see dimming), I was wondering if you could update the MOD with those latest functions?

I think background dimming with video would be awesome.

This is a complete rewrite and it should fix most issues. Its not even called anymedia anymore.

Any update on this? I'm forced to test the waters with AME, which is working okay (and supports 75+ sites now by way of XML plugins) but I'm having a small issue with it and my custom skin. It might make sense to stick with the tried and true Anymedia in my case (or whatever the new version is called. )

Anxiously looking forward to it.

It would of probably have been out already if it wasn't for my dad dying, wife and kids in a car accident and now I have to move out of this house by this weekend. Very fun two months.

I've seen AME and the other video mod. Not a fan of how either of them work. With AME all of those 75 sites will be in database. Not ideal for a large site IMO. And the other one process the video will every view.

Let me see if I can whip out a version of the new one by next week.

Thanks for sticking with me

Brother I'm very sorry to hear of your matters. I will keep you in prayer. I have my members praying for you as well. Just hang in there, and seriously take a break. I'm sure you enjoy your hobby here, in your free time. But your family is first, not a vbulletin media player.
