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/

Exact same problem.

Something is wrong here....

Thanks

If you look through some of the post I've made here you'll see some of the features. I "should" have a test version out some time this week.

Cause Youporn doesnt want you to embed anything. So the flv should work. I'll see what i can do though.

Forum based media posting permissions

"Alow users to post media files in this forum"

when add you this option please

[nix]

Yea I'm going to add this in 3.1.

[ToKey]

Is there a way to make it so it'll put at the top of the actual video, the name you specify, instead of having the actual media player name.

Like..

[media='This is the video title which will show at the top of the player, where the "Any Media Player defaults at"]http://linkTOmediaVIDEO[/media]

You understand? Can we do this?

[nix]

With the current version you can change the name of the player to what ever you want. It should pull the titles if it can find them and place them at the bottom. In the new version I've totally changed the way its displayed.

[ToKey]

I know you can change the name of the actual player, but I don't want that. I was wondering if you can make it so each individual member, that uses this bbcode can change the title of the player. Not that it would be the player they are changing, they would be naming that video something. Like how it is with the YouTube integration hack below.

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=142236

The code is... [yt="Video of ToKey driving a car"]http://youtube.com/Jd83jfFs[/yt]

So when the media player shows in the post, it puts "Video of ToKey driving a car" at the top where you have the "Any Media Player" at.

It should be doing titles now for you already. You can just edit the template and put the title where you want it.
