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/

... the below is prob due to not having a site php for our hosting I assume.. nfi how to code that up either :\

• uploaded mov as attachment it didn't play
• used ftp to upload to directory, linked in post tagged with [media] didn't work
• linked to offsite divx file .. worked
• linked to local divx file .. didn't work

seems we can't play videos from our server
I've gone through the attachments section of the admin, and checked the file types are there ....
mov
Content-type: video/quicktime

yadda
made sure quicktime is turned on in the gold options
images are working great, youtube links work perfect, offsite divx seems fine....
so close.. yet so far
hewlp please

Now that hulu.com (NBC's streaming video portal) has opened up to the public ... any chance Goldbrick can support it? There's a button to click to get embed code for each clip (even if you customize the start and end points.) Just don't know how to get Goldbrick to recognize and use that code.

i dont know if anyone say this before but when u put 2 or more image links on same line the [media] dont appear after each link
if i post 2-3 image i will like to see them on horizontal not on vertical its make the post empty

There's no point as hulu only works in US,

Question, does this not work on iMac's? I was testing it with my iMac on my site, and it didn't work, but when I went to windows using VMFusion it worked
