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/

Hi,

This mod is working just fine on my site as far as I can tell! Great work. I was wondering if you could add the following sites:

www.gamevee.com

www.mlgpro.com

Thanks!

It doesn't work for me on 3.7.0. PHP 5.2.2. It seems as if it's absent at all. Doesn't play attachments or links to mediafiles. Everything is turned on. All permissions are Ok. I try to play .mov or .qt or .pdf -- nothing, only download. Tried IE7 and Firefox 3.

Working great for me on my site also. Maybe I need to look harder for problems because I'm just not seeing any.

You have to add the attachments in vbulletins attachment manager.

Everything is added in attachment manager. I've updated to 1.91. Nothing changed. It's not working at all, as if it's absent. What's the matter?

Are you using the attachments in the file system and not the database?
