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.

• 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/

cause i uninstalled this mod and installed another one

[nix]

working for me too.

[Miles_Binck]

Installed great, thanks for updating this addon.

One thing, i tried adding a video from video.google.co.uk and I got the error: unsupported media type, I got it working by changing the .co.uk to .com, do you plan on adding localised google video?

[nix]

Yea I'll add all the youtubes and google local sites. I'll try and get it out this weekend.

[mmackinnon]

This may be a stupid question.

Can this be installed on the vb 3.54 to fix the issues with youtube not playing anymore?

[nix]

Yea it should work with 3.5

[RedGTiVR6]

do we need to completely uninstall the other version from crist before installing this or can we just act like it's an upgrade process?

thanks so much for releasing this! This is great!

EDIT: I've downloaded the .zip file but it appears there's nothing useable in there?

[nix]

Should be able to act like an upgrade.

Download it again. Its in there.

[RedGTiVR6]

I must be doing something wrong...though I'm not sure what I would be doing wrong when I'm just downloading the mod?

When I download and open the .zip, I get this (notice the lack of a file size on any of the folders)...

[nix]

hmm. Thats weird. It looks like one of the old packages.
