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/

check your php.ini and see if you have this.

Ah, that. I'm aware of quite a few hosts who have disabled the PHP option allow_url_fopen, and thus have disallowed file_get_contents()... for security reasons. (Not just Dreamhost, who I'm with.) Apparently cURL is more secure, and is a feature-rich alternative.

The good news is, in every instance that this has come up this far with other mods, I've let them know about cURL and they were able to substitute that as a solid fix/workaround. I just did a vB.org search and see plenty of instances to back this up. I'm hoping that's possible here with your mod.

And thanks again for resurrecting this excellent hack. It's very much appreciated.

nix, keep up the FANTASTIC work... and thanks for sharing it with us. This is a very important and worthwhile hack that was in danger of abandoned. You've saved it and made it even better. You rock, dude. :up:

[nix]

I got the titles working with curl now. I also have yahoo and dailymotion working.

[Extreme John]

I want to install this, my main reason being for break.com, do you forese that site being added anytime in the near future? If so Ill wait for that. Appreciate it.

I am curious if it is possible to have the download link option be user-selectable as well. For example there would be an AdminCP option for global download links, and then it could be disabled for each individual media embed if you wanted. Just an idea I had suddenly
