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/

Do you see the M button?

Are all the video sites that you want to use enabled?

Is the setting "enable video sites globally" enabled?

If all the above are yes try this.

Highlight it and press the M button. It should wrap it in [media] tags.

submit it. What does it say?

If you're still having problems let me know and I'll take a look at it.

Not sure what problems you're having. Do you want to remove the link or remove the title?

To remove the link just turn off enable downloads. I don't have a setting to remove the title. I can add one later.

Just PM your site and I'll take a look.

I don't even get the M button...
everything is uploaded where it needs to be... all the mods are done correctly... I have it set the way I want in the admin cp under options, and the user groups can use the bbcode...

When I try to post and try it, the post dialog box window takes awhile to load and does not show the M

Awesome, thanks so much! Working great for me.

One minor nitpick. I notice on most video sites, the page has their name in the title. (Not all though; Google video doesn't seem to, for example.)

This is a bit redundant here since the source site is already identified in the player's UI. Would there be a way to filter this out so only the video clip's title is shown?



SpikedHumor.com obnoxiously shows it twice:

Ok, I disabled it... then enabled it... weird. It's working.


Question about rm files.... does it actually try to load the video to play it?

I'm looking to point it to some rm videos I have on another site and when I put the link inbetween the media tags, it just hangs. I'm wondering if it's due to the size. They're 50-80 mb video files.

[Tralala]

Testing clips from a bunch of sites. Noticing that:

CurrentTV.com is not working. Getting "Error: unsupported media type." Got a sample link that I can try?

Video from http://www.vsocial.com/ is playing automatically, even though I have AUTOSTART turned off.

iFilm's clips are not showing the title underneath the controls like the others are.

[nix]

I'll look into the RM's. I don't even have it installed.

Fixed currentTV. Had the wrong address in there. DOH.

The play auto is a feature of the site. The play auto in the admin options is for using the built in player for videos or mp3 etc.

I'll see if I can get that site to not auto play.

I'll look into the titles also.

- Changed fetch titles to curl (curl has to be enabled in your php.ini

This which line?
Is php5.2.1 have deafault disable or not?

[nix]

You have to compile PHP for cURL support. Most webhost have it already. Just do a php.info and search for curl. If it shows up you have it.
