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/

I have a strange problem.

On my Macbook Pro, I use both firefox and safari.
When I try to view flash videos, I can only hear sound when using firefox, but in Safari, everything works perfectly.. Any idea on this? Also, my windows PC also has firefox and it loads fine.

I'm also on a mac. Its a bug with firefox on macs. If you use firefox 3 beta it works fine.

Oh that's strange.. But thanks!

I have read this entire thread.

PHP 5.25
I've tried installing 3 times and always have to run back to AnyMedia.
Everything goes great until I install the plugin. Then I lose my board.
I get it back right after I uninstall the .xml.

I'd really love to get this working.

Thanks

Any way to get it back until I get this other issue worked out?

Thanks
