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

has anyone get this mod to work correctly. My needs are very simple, I just need it to play the video in the post and play wmv files from my server.

I agree with you. Before adding new features, priority should go to bug fixes. This mod can be great when bugs are fixed.
So far I can't use it as my own flv files don't work with firefox in this goldbrick mod (works only with IE).
I hope the bug will be fixed in next upgrade.
Thanks for the work anyway; I know it's difficult to satisfy everybody.

I've already fixed most of those. I just need to release it.

when is this going to be out?
I got 3.7 because this mod was going to take the place of the anymedia that i had on my board. the guys on my site want me dead for upgrading the forum. I also notice that you play a video in the user profile, will that also work in your new release???

[nix]

Yes it will.

When I get some free time it will be out. I have to feed the kids first!!
