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

Understood. This admin option should be removed then, to eliminate confusion.

Thanks for your great work on this!

I'll clean up the admin side of things here soon. Just wanted to make sure everything is working.

Here is what it looks like with the titles.Attachment 66779

Thank you for the quick 3.0.9.2! For those who have 3.0.9.1 right now, do we have to undo the old hack and change the template files again or just uploading files would take care of it?
Thanks

Thanks for this preview... just wanted to report that I'm not seeing titles at all on my forum (despite running 3.0.9.2 successfully otherwise.)

I even tried with the same sample video... both the original and the new "beta" version:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9TYzRanykbQ&v2
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9TYzRanykbQ&v3

... and neither show the title "Soundwave: The Touch" that is expected.

All I see is "Link to Original" (because I have "Show the download link" enabled in AdminCP.)


Anything I can try, in order to troubleshoot?

EDIT: nevermind

closed all other windows and found that the FTP had hung waiting for confirmation from me to overwrite files.

You don't have to undo the old hack or redo the template edits. Just upload the files and import the product.

Upgrading wont mess anything up. Make sure you have the latest template and make sure you divx web plugin is current. If you're still having a problem after that I'll look at your forum for you.
