Goldbrick Media system for vBulletin 3.6.x

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/

While im posting is there a way to make it that when you click the tubnail it dose the same as when you click the link?

This was for the old anymedia mod. Now the options are right uder that part where you post an attachment.

[maidos]

is it possible to have like quick time or windows media player to play mp4 and avi files directly from the website

[nix]

it already does that.

[maidos]

oh nice, but how do i allow it to play mp4 files when theres flash player :S

[rapidphim]

Any idea why it kept asking to upgrade the Flash Player and enable the Javascript in order to view the content (while already upgraded five time)?

I'm sorry, I keep posting in the 3.7 version thread, but my issues are all with the 3.6.8 and associated plugin here in this thread.

Here's another thing I've seen:

Also... I've noticed if I'm browsing my vid forum in a certain style, i can see the videos. However, if another person is browsing in a different style, it shows up as the tags+url.

PS: Nix, let me know anytime when you want access to check it out.

New findings:

It seems that videos get screwed up sometimes when changing themes... but pictures and mp3's don't.
