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.

• 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/

[nix]

Its working fine for me on safari. What problem are you having? Is that anymedia or another mod?

[hnjco]

from 3.1b2 to 3.1b3 do i just have to upload just product or all files?

[nix]

i would also upload the files. I updated some of the other files also.

Nix have had disaster with trying to alter the settings from database to file, keep getting error messages saying that the server dosnt have permission to write their, even thou i have altered the chmod to 777 & tried to turn safe_mode on. I recently tried to attach a file via data base opption and it just uploaded it as a link to down load not as a playable link as it dose do when you use the media, big blue M button with remote stuff, what am i dooing wrong? I did this btw with safe_mode off as it will not turn on.

thanks.

Right I managed to turn safe_mode on a simple fix by just creating a ini file and turning it on, wich resulted in the same error message of my server has not got the permissions, having since found out my server dose not support 777 chmod! What other way round this is their? do I have to have my attachments in a sub public_html file or can I not just use the database to store my files, mps flv wna local files?

Nix,

I user mark the option "Show the download link?" to YES, you forget to add the link to movie website in video title of classic skin like in original version of anymedia by chinese boy Crist Chsu.

Can you fix it in next version? Thanks.

[Mr.D]

any idea when will the final be out?

and why is there m image for some sites like break and not the image of the video?

How can we shot down the text that is next to an image?????

[Acers]

Is the auto parsing of media working on someone's site running vbseo?
I am just getting the URl replaced by the title(i have the vbseo title fetch option on)
Tried plugin order change to make anymedia as the priority plugin. It hasn't helped.

The final is a long way away. Once I add all the features I want it to have.

Because some sites make it a pain in the arse to get the thumbnail of the video.

The text next to the image is the title of the video.
