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/

I haven't tested all the options fully, but from what I see so far it is, yes.

Anyone know how to add a parameter to every URL?

I need to add -

?rel=noskim

to the end of video URL's.

The mpeg settings are incorrect
mpeg != quicktime
when viewing mpeg files, user is prompted to download a "plugin", whether or not they already have quicktime installed.

Has anyone found a fix for this yet?

Goldbrick is only working on new posts...

Same thing is happening for me. vB 3.7.2.

When I rebuild my post cache, all previous Goldbrick media tags are rendered as plain text without the media showing. If I edit and re-post, the media player returns. I have tried refreshing with no luck.

Obviously, it's not practical to go and re-edit all posts.

Anyone know a fix for this? I love this mod, but will have to uninstall if rebuilding the post cache breaks all old posts every time
