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.

I think Ive found a 'bug'. I just installed this on my 3.6.8 PL2 board and when i visited /admincp/options.php?do=options&dogroup=goldbrick i got this error:

Allowed Media Extensions
Check to enable media file types.
	An error occured while processing the bitfield files, the following information was returned:

I fixed it by moving the file xml/bitfield_goldbrick.xml to include/xml/bitfield_goldbrick.xml and it seems to be working now, but Ill have to give it a bit more testing to be sure.

Edit: D'uh, seems like I posted in the vB 3.7 thread instead of the 3.6 one. But I think my comment is valid to this version as well.
