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/

Why would this be happening?

Ok, I've been asking for help on this issue for nearly a month now and I feel like I'm getting ignored. I'll paypal someone $25 to *fix* this issue.

I'm not asking any longer after this. I'll just use something else if this doesn't get fixed. I've offered to pay at least.

I have it fixed. I'll upload it later tonight.

[mljask]

[ersoy]

Have you tried prayer?

Seriously though, the issue you are experiencing has nothing to do with the Anymedia Player. You can go ahead and use something else but you will get the same results.

It looks like the video site godtube.com is using a url rewrite to prevent embedding of specific videos. The way it works is, when an external referrer (your site) requests a video, the url of the video is replaced with the one you are seeing. Many sites do this so that you have to visit their site to view the videos or images. If you see the same video no matter what url you embed, then I guarantee you that godtube is using url rewrites to do this.

This has nothing to do with the way Anymedia works and anything else you use will give the same results.

Godtube change the way they do things. Send me a pm Chadi, I have it working.

Installed works good only some maxthon user is complaining that his processor load is 100%

[nycofox]

Still having problems getting this to work on a 3.6.8patch2 installation, is anyone else having problems getting the newest AnyMedia version to work with this version of vBulletin?

[nix]

you can pm me a link to your site and I'll take a look.

Childish sarcasm and HATE because I'm a Christian. Otherwise, if you were respectful and mature, you would not say such a stupid thing.
