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/

Is it a movie site plugin to add youtubes to posts?

And then some
The product allows for the maintainance of a 'youtube' like VB. users can upload movies themselves, post youtube links (which get parsed), etc.

It's actually a great addon to 3.7 if you're after running a 'movie related' site.

when I try to add a profile video I got this error

I've said i need to update this to work with the latest version of vb.

[sweeps78]

just paste the link into your post. That's it.

I still can't seem to get this plugin to work without the media tag. I try to post just the URL of the video, but all that shows up is a link, not the video... Is there a setting somewhere for this?

Looks pretty cool I use anymedia on my other site and worked nice but will try this soon on my 3.7 site. Thanks

That would be great nix, my site has alot of vids posted and it all stopped working today after upgrade. Looking after the new version. Funny thing it is working in some parts of the forum and in others dont..

edit: seems its working where tagas were added manually and in upper case [MEDIA]

Ok, I see what you are saying now. I'm actually using something that does turn your site into a youtube site. vbtube. Figured this was along the same lines and wanted to make sure.
