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.

Are you saying it's working for you now?

Moving attachments to the file system in in your vbulletin adminCP. You also have to make a folder and give it the right permissions.

I have a version that is pretty much ready to go. I hope to get some free time this week to release it.

It's work when I not log in but when I log in it's not work

And now I will wait for new version that I must not disable php safemode

Thanks

Hi,
I linked a youtube video and it showed up, however, when I click on to play it said video is no longer available. Any ideas?

[barcena]

I downloaded and installed but I don't see any button on my Editor in where to placed the video link, meaning kinda Windows Media Player button. I know is working b/c I place the Youtube link between the media /media tags and the video showed up on the Preview but no icon on the Editor and my members don't know anything about tags, I have to provide them w/ and icon and still I will have tons of questions LOL, what am I missing?. Do I have to have another version before installed this one?.

Any help will be much appreciated.

That happened to me sometimes in another site I do have and usually is b/c the video is not longer available/the person who uploaded to Youtube removed the video. Wish I can be more hepful.

I left a question on page 67, last post, I though the system will automatically merge my two posts, please if someone could see it and give me an answer that will be nice. Thanks in advance.

They did not remove the video. When I check the original video from youtube, it's still there. I tried many times with different videos but no success.

You do not need any buttons.
Paste the link (without the media tags) and click preview or submit.
It should work.

BTW the "video is not longer available" is happening to me as well.
I suspect that Youtube is blocking hotlinks to some of the videos.
