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/

Have a permissions issue. I've set the permissions to not allow guests, not logged in and no unregistered people to see the videos. But it still shows them to all guests an what have you. I need this hack to work where it does not show at all in any way to outside people. This is crucial for me if this option does not work I cannot use this hack Here's what I have & what has been done.

1. Running php5
2. Using vb 3.7 stable release
3. I have installed the entire hack and all works except the permissions.
4. All the permissions for the groups that I do not want to see this video hack and the videos on the site have been set and they are correct, I rechecked to make sure.

Please help. Thanks

Small strange problem (on top of the missing profile video I mentioned earlier, even on 1.8version)

I have the below in a post, that worked fine since day one. Suddenly, the video is just missing (basically, as if no media tags / link were included).

[media]http://www.godtube.com/view_video.php?viewkey=152b5103d741aca61093[/media]
A snippet from a great message entitled How great is our God! by Louie Giglio, this section talks about Laminin, an amazing molecule in the human body. A must see! 

Full DVD available at 268GENERATION

The same link works fine, so I'm not sure why it won't work on the forums. I've checked some other newer/older threads in my forum for both youube and godtube links they work fine strange enough.

Any ideas?

Should it work just by making a new php file like dogster.php and simply upload it to the sites dir in goldbrick - or do I have to "tell" Goldbrick somehow, that I have uploaded that new file, and it shall look for postet links to convert ?
