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/

Ive just installed VBAdvacned to my site...I already had this great media player installed. Where exactly is the VBAdvacned plugin module for this product? I cant see it in this thread anywhere or in the download file?!

I've seen this question asked several times, but I have not seen it answered yet.

I just installed Goldbrick 1.5 into vbulletin 3.6.4 and I'm also running vbadvanced. The previous version of anymedia I had installed was working fine for a long time, then it suddenly stopped working... the media tags were no longer recognized. I have no idea what may have caused this.

Rather than try to troubleshoot the older version, I deleted the files and uninstalled the product. I uploaded the goldbrick files and imported the product. All options and forum permissions are properly set.

The old media tags were now picked up, but I did have to edit and save the posts for that to be so.

Trouble is, it just doesn't work. I've attached a screenshot of a youtube video in a thread. The preview image is displayed but the image and all the text near it, just links to the youtube url for that video. I also see a "You need to upgrade your flash player message", and that's the question I've seen asked, but not answered. To the best of my knowledge, I have the lastest players installed on my computer.

Any ideas? I am at my wit's end trying to figure this out. My server is runningf PHP 5.2.5 and MySQL 5.0.51a

Here's a link to the page from which the screenshot was taken: http://www.majorleaguetalk.com/forum...ad.php?t=54332
