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/

my personal link, that may be the problem, I thought it would play any mp3 file.

It will play any file but it depends on your server setup. If the full link doesn't play and it hosted on the save server try using something like this instead.

/forums/my.mp3

Or whatever the path is.

Nice job in beta version, however I don't want add 73kb of .js file to insert good-looking effects.

Can you offer one lite classic version without highslide js effects?

Thank you

[nix]

I can later.

But you can compress them and then I can show you how to gzip them to make them smaller.

On the sites I use this on its 43k for the main highslide js. I didn't even compress it yet. I'll do that after it goes final.

I also went this way to avoid a bunch of different flash videos trying to open at one time. I would rather just have to download the js files once.

Default Media Object Height and Height doesn't work in this beta version, right?

Always open with "400", "326" values to google, "425", "350" to youtube, etc..
