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/

A request... could this be updated to include support for Jumpcut? They are now owned by Yahoo and rising in popularity.


Also, support for the NBC's new online video venture, hulu.com, would be fantastic. Here's a sneak peek of it's interface, by way of a backdoor to a few of it's best videos. Hulu is very embed-friendly, and even has a unique feature that lets the user specify start and end points of the video clip they wish to share.

I'll update the version on here to include some fixes and some more sites. I'll also make sure it works for vb 3.7. This way you guys/gals aren't stuck with a product that is broke!
