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/

Because anymedia.php isn't used. It never was. To use this mod post a link from youtube etc and either wrap it in the anymedia bbcode or hit reply if you're using this version.

I have just recently installed this and it has been functioning fine, until tonight.

I just tried to post a video and I got this.

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: htmlspecialchars_decode() in /includes/class_anymedia.php on line 1324

Any ideas?

I use chris' version of anymedia and didn't work with youtube. Tried to consult chris but he didn'y know how to fix either. Just now, I upgrade to this version and found out the icon 'M' on WYSIWYG editor has gone and couldnt get the media player running, can you tell me wht is wrong and how to fix it"?

[edited] Turn out i overlooked that this hack need 3.6.x and mine is 3.5.4. Anyone care to explain how to revert back to chris?

[Peter85]

Ive found a quite bad bug (or lack of feature) in this hack. If you use the option Rebuild Post Cache in admincp all mediatags will stop working.
Ill try and see if I can figure out how to make a temporary fix myself but it would be really great if this would work out of the box .

Edit: I fixed this for now by doing a

TRUNCATE TABLE postparsed

and then letting vB rebuild the posts the first time someone views them. Not a good fix as its takes a bit longer to load threads the first time someone views them but at least it works.

I am not understanding the two files, the 3.1b2 and 3.1b3.... do I need to install BOTH of them?

[nicksource]

It won't automatically do the tags, I have to add them myself, pasting a Youtube link just shows as a link. Why is this?

[nix]

What link are you using?

[DaveTomneyUK]

Will there be any support for WMV files?
