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/

Can you please fix the "M" image logo that is always displayed for godtube.com videos? Youtube posts show an image from the video itself, I'm hoping you can do the same for Godtube as well.

It basically shows the goldbrickplay.gif instead.

Again the site has to have a way to pull the video thumbnail. Godtube didn't at the time I added it.

You can change the default gif to whatever you want.

This error.

What would you mean with "Download Goldbrick 1.8"?
The last version of Goldbrick isn't this? 1.5?

ps: and i don't have in the USERCP the "my media" option.

[RedGTiVR6]

I'm using 1.8 on our forums, it works fine on YouTube it seems, but when i have an attachment in .wmv format, it won't play. I can download it and play fine.

Any ideas?
