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/

I'm having a bit of trouble with some videos that one of my users are trying to embed:

http://forums.trossenrobotics.com/showthread.php?t=1981

The page also gives me a message asking me to install some missing plugins. The problem is, is that when I click on the button, the plugin can't be found...

The file type is .mpg. I've tried to view these videos in both Firefox 3.0 and IE ver 7, and neither will allow me to view them

I haven't looked through the 66 pages here, hehe, so if this was already mentioned and is in the works of getting fixed with the latest release, my pre-apologies.

When uninstalling I get:
syntax error, unexpected T_OBJECT_OPERATOR admincp/plugin.php(1512) : eval()'d code on line 1

It looks like it uninstalled, but I am not 100% and don't want any problems in the future.

LOL you have to work to find the latest version. Thank you NIX!

I coped with the problem, it works and was working, but there are some nuances.

Yes I am. This was not the thing.

First, I turned on the option 'Use Goldbrick Media system when uploading an attachment'. After that the mod recognized my .mov file when I attached it, but refused to play it. It said that the QuickTime plugin was not installed though it was.

Second, I tried to make a hyperlink to a copy of the same .mov file placed to my server. The mod didn't recognized the link. When I manually added [media][/media] around the link, the mod recognized it and started to play.

Anyway, thanks for your help, nix! (though the mod doesn't play my .mov attachment, so I've removed the attachment)

And one more thing. The window cuts the QT player's control bar a little. I tried to increase the window size, but this was helpless, it doesn't have an influence on it at all. You can look at it here:

Has anyone been able to successfully add a flickr video page yet?

Apparently my mind is not capable of making it work.

Can you elaborate on this? I have the newpost_process.php file up but dont see what to change. Although Im likely looking in the wrong place.

I have vbSEO and am rewriting, and so I get blank pages after I activate the plugin.

hello do we also has to set the bbcode becoz youtube movie is not running when i put the link for example http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_kumHgPO4qc
this its become like this [ media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_kumHgPO4qc [ /media]

and it doesnt run only picture comes with the youtube original movie title
waiting for reply

thanks

[aggiefan]

just another question (and its the only thing keeping me from using the new version) is i hate the defacto image for the highslide video. is there any way (hopefully with the caching stuff) that you could put a graphic there of the video instead of the one graphic? its the only reason im still using the old view is it has that pre-render screenshot of the video.

and i know a few sites do it right (youtube seems to be the only one so far... atleast that we use) but it needs to work with all of them.
