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/

Ok I have finally got it to work well kinda. I reset the option for the bbcode tag to media (so apparently it will not work if you try and change the bbcode tag in the options to anything other than what is there) but now I get:

Error: unsupported media type.

When trying to link to a youtube video.

EDIT: Had to do what the other posted suggested, set options to no, save, then set options to yes and save. Now videos are showing.

May I ask what specifically that fix was? Because my YouTube does not work

If it is giving you the invalid file error, go to AdminCP >>>> VBOptions >>>> AnyMedia Player Options >>>>> Set all to no, save, set all to yes, save should fix it.

I followed all the steps and All I get is a blank white screen after post submit.
any idea?

Still getting the unsupported error

Then I don't know. I know YouTube works because that is what I was testing it with. At first I got that invalid file or whatever error. Then after I set all options to no, save, set options back to yes, save (like the other person said) it fixed it for me.

Lets hope nix can get the last bug fixed in the new version asap and then we can all enjoy the new features!

Now this is a totally cool screen recorder, with easy SWF conversion/uploading/sharing (free apps for Mac and PC: )

Here's an example of the video it makes:

Any chance we can get support for this with AnyMedia? That'd be completely awesome. I can think of MANY ways this would rock on a vBulletin forum.

Doesn't look like Vb and prototype.js are going to play well together. It would require vb to change the way it codes. They said maybe in the future. So I'll have to find another way to do what I was doing...
