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/

How do I resize Vimeo videos to the larger, HD size? I think its about 640 x 360 on their site.

I checked the "use Goldbrick option" and nothing happened. It only expands the invisible area
when you're in thread preview mode. Anyway, added title and 651 x 366 resolution. Video
still plays default smaller size of 400 x 225.

I even edited vimeo.php as nix instructed.

'width' => 651,
'height' => 366,

Cleared cache (hard refresh) after uploading the file, overwriting. Still same small default size.

Sorry don't have a copy of vb4.

[YungAnh]

Would you release a new version for 3.8? That would be nice. I really like your mod

[Chadi]

Please add support for Tangle.com

Please Do It For Vb4.

I can convert the media code to video code but the link didn't parse out as video link instead of html url link.

How can we fix it

I agree - A DESCRIPTION OF WHAT THIS MOD DOES would be nice at the top in post #1.

I still have no idea what this mod does. I'm looking for an embedded media player that will play attached videos. Is that what this mod does?
