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.

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/

I actually fixed the issue by hard coding the width and height to the stage6 arrays but I would have wished not to do that.

Another issue i have now is that when i quick edit it messes up the code and it posts [media]http://whatevervideo[/media] I actually have to go to advance edit all the time.

please tell me what you did thanks

Don't know about the chipmunks. you sure its not a chipmunks song?

This mod wouldn't do anything like that. Its probably a problem with the media player. You can go get the latest one from the site. The link is in the first post.

Stage6 might have changed something. When I get some time I'll check it out. Or if you know how open up the sites folder and look for stage6.php. Make sure the regex info matches stage6.com


I'm getting caught up on my paid work and I'll start working on Goldbrick again. Think I might even do a stand alone version.

O yea. I don't know if anyone knows this, but you can put videos in your profile. I've updated the first post with Screen Shots.

Google Videos & DailyMotion not working .

Veoh videos i get this : click here to watch the video
Close
You need to upgrade your Flash Player.

Sometimes When I Post A Video And Try To Play It Is Says Video Is Not Available....But I Go To The URL Of The Vid And It Still Works

[nix]

usually thats because they video doesn't allow embedding.

I did notice, nice touch and about stage6 yeah it seems like regexps changed but i'm not great at them. btw in the class file ther was something like:

info[width] = info[widthpad] + info[addition]
info[height] = info[height] + info[addition]

"info[addition]" is not the correct wording but i forgot and im too lazy to check. but anyways I actually changed that to:

info[width] = info[width] + info[addition]
info[height] = info[height] + info[addition]

I did that so i can hard code the stage6 site but just asking cause i couldn't find out, where does widthpad come from cause I couldn't find where it was defined and thats why i always got that blank screen "width=0"
