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/

did you have time to fix the flv? it comes out blank in IE just like anymedia used to do

[gwerzal]

I need a way of showing video's in my posts and making it so only certain usergroups can view the video's.

Can this mod do this?

If it can it might be worthwhile me changing servers to one with php 5.

I am currently using my hostgator reseller account which uses php 4.4.4 i think or something.

Has anyone got a demo of this so i could see it in action

If this question is for me then the answer is probably yet. I've fixed all the bugs that I'm aware of. I'll take some time off this weekend to release an update.

I've had this idea also. Its something I want to add.

Its too bad this only works in posts. It would be nice if you could separate and organize the embedded objects on there own pages. It would make it a gallery then, rather than just embedding in posts which aren't as easy to organize video.

you could modifiy the template to have one

Seems like the more mods I release the more that get ripped tough...

Sort of like this

[legionofangels]

That is exactly what I want to do.

Did you do that yourself, or someone else?

It's absolutely perfect.
