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/

stage6 is not working.... all i get is a small box



Ok, i figured some stuff out like the 'new" style for some reason doesn't work properly but i just really need help with one thing. I realized by editing html that the reason stage6 is not working is because its either not getting the width and height correctly or setting something that was hard coded cause all i get is height=5 width=0. I've gone though the code for divx and stage six but cant find anything. Can I just set a default width and height somewhere just so it doesn't have to search for it and input it wrong? If so exactly how.

EDIT:

Hmm... not its not actually i dont even have a stage6 account and i watched it...

I actually fixed the issue by hard coding the width and height to the stage6 arrays but I would have wished not to do that.

Another issue i have now is that when i quick edit it messes up the code and it posts [media]http://whatevervideo[/media] I actually have to go to advance edit all the time.
