Major Additions - Goldbrick Audio/Video Media System

Goldbrick Media system for vBulletin 3.7

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/

Just because you're not gettting your own issue resolved as fast as you would like doesn't mean the thread (and addon) isn't supported!

Remember, you pay nothingg for these plugins and addons. The developer supports them as they can, but that doesn't mean that free addons are top priority. People have to make money too, and in order to do that, they need to put priority where it SHOULD be, with paying clients, or a job.

Support for 'free addons' should always come at the bottom of the totem pole. Nix has done very well supporting this addon, give him a break, it's certainly not 'unsupported' at all.

Don't want to be pushy but.......

.avi's don't work, .pdf's don't work, any videos loaded before goldbrick don't work, the vBulletin light box works but it's as slow as a wet weekend, the viewer doesn't have controls in firefox prior to the latest version and even in that one they disappear after a few seconds.

I've gone through this thread a dozen times and can't find fixes other than it doesn't work properly in firefox 2x. I'm using v1.91 Is it just me or is everyone else experiencing these problems as well? If you think you aren't you're probably using ie and forgetting about all the users of firefox, opera, safari, etc yet strangely enough it seems to work well in Google Chrome.

Excellent hack. But....... I'll be happier when I can get it all working right. Been messing with it for a number of weeks and waiting for the full version that hopefully fixes everything. Come on Nix show us your stuff. I'm sure it'll be fantastic when it's finished.

Any ideas as to when that might be?

Cheers - Neil

PS have had to turn .pdf's off because they were causing a problem now members keep getting this error message (probably because they're turned off)
