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/
• - - -
• The media player and mp3 player are from http://www.jeroenwijering.com/

Also my forum members just reported and I verfified that it is not working the Preview as well. It is nice mod and I don't want to downgrade it back to prior version so I hope that bugs can be removed.

That think works fine.

I've said it doesn't work in the quick reply and preview right now. All you have to do is refresh the page.

I would say its stable. Its not going to mess up your forums. But a few sites need tweaking. The no preview and quick reply I've tried to tell people so they don't freak out. I'll look for away to get it in there.

Hey.

I have followed all installation instructions very carefully, have ensured that the 'Enable video sites globally' is set to yes and all individual video settings are set as I want them. I am getting an 'Unsupported file type' error when pasting and tagging YouTube and Google videos. These are the only two I have tried. Have I goofed up somewhere?
