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/

Did you goto your usergroup permissions and set them up? They are all set to yes by default and you still have to goto at least one to rebuild permissions.

Doesn't work in Opera 9 at all. It doesn't show the videos from YouTube in the swf player, but it redirects you to YouTube instead. It doesn't even open the .wmv videos player.

YouTube videos work in Firefox. But, this version makes Firefox crash when trying to close the .wmv player after watching a .wmv video.

IE7 doesn't play .wmv clips. It opens the player, but you can't start the video.

Summary:
It's a very nice mod, but I preffer the older version. It's far from finished.

Where can I get it so I can fix all the problems that appeared after installing the new one?

I don't mind help but its all hard coded into the mod.

Works fine in Opera 9 for me. Are you blocking javascript? Don't have ie7 to test. Firefox also works fine but that is also on a mac. I'll look into more. Of course its not close, that why its in beta

I do appreciate everyone helping me work out the kinks. I still have some ideas I want to add after all the bugs are cleared up. Most of the bugs that are left are just with the js code and the media embed. I should have it fixed in the next version.

I took the old version down. It?s just the template though so you can change it to whatever you want

Hi nix, I just install Version: 3.1b2, and try to testing video from site megarotic, it didn't work at all. I had done for set up permissions in steps 4, 5.
4. Log into the admincp and setup AnyMedia BBCode Options (vBulletin Options -> AnyMedia BBCode Options);
5. Change the AnyMedia BBCode Permissions (Usergroup Manager -> Choose a usergroup -> AnyMedia BBCode Permissions);

[nix]

what error did it give you? do you just see the link? is megarotic enabled? I have all sites like that default to no.

Ok, I noticed its with godtube.com videos that it wants to open up in a local pc software (flv). Can you work around this?

Youtube plays embedded, but not godtube.com
