New Posting Features - VB AnyMedia Player / Media Sites (youtube, google and many more)

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/

godtube.com videos are all showing "thumbnail not available". Strangest part? Any video I post, it always shows this specific (yet awesome) video called "Life House Everything Skit" which I posted a few weeks ago. This is VERY weird!

Original video I'm using:
http://www.godtube.com/view_video.ph...ff146f14fbb40f

My thread

[media]http://www.godtube.com/view_video.php?viewkey=bca44aff146f14fbb40f[/media]

Why would this be happening?

Sooo...

- Youtube works yayyyy. College, break, and metcafe don't. They just give the m logo with a blank player.

- Is this supposed to work automatically? Because I'm adding the [media] tags manually, posting a url just posts the url. Should there be a button for the code? To put the code in manually I had to switch to the standard editor in user cp.

- Install instructions left me wondering a little. Do I upload the whole anymedia folder (upload/anymedia) to the forum, or pull it's folders, to the forum? (upload/anymedia/includes to forum/includes for ex.) I went ahead and uploaded everything the way it was placed in the .zip

- Imported fine & Rebuilt the permissions, no problem there.

I'm hoping I'm just missing an important fix in these 75 pages of posts. Ahhh!

Thanks for any help!

Feature request:
If you simply type in the url to a media file (http://foo.bar/foobar.wmv) AnyMedia will automatically wrap it in media tags. Usually thats really great, but with some sites, like rapidshare and such that actually feeds a html page instead of the requested file things wont work. So Id like to request a way to disable AnyMedia for certain sites.
Ive made a temporary fix on my board, but I think it would be nice to have as a real option as well.

But report:
When using AnyMedia with a malformed url I sometimes get an error message.
For instance, when writing a post containing

[media]http:///foo.bar/foobar.mp3[/media]

Ill get this error:

Warning: parse_url(http:///foo.bar/foobar.mp3) [function.parse-url]: Unable to parse URL in path\to\my\board\includes\class_anymedia.php on line 486

Please note that the line number may be a bit off due to the above mentioned fix for disabling AnyMedia for certain sites.

[valindaKat]

I have tried a few sites. I can get youtube and ifilm to work.
I have the adult sites enabled in the admincp.

The adult sites do not seem to be working, such as pornotube, Megarotic, xtube.

I apologize ahead of time if you already knew this.

Thank you,

P.S. If you need more information about what I see when they don't work, let me know.
