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/

just upload your video to youtube, googlevideo, veoh, dailymotion... and then link back to your forum (copy and paste - no bbcode url), Goldbrick will convert it automatically...

Nix,
how can I enlarge the size of Google, Veoh video? Also, may I suggest (if possible) that the should be a next, previous button if we do post series of video. For now, if we want to watch the next video, we have to close out the first one, then click on the second and so on....

If you can enable the previous/next button, so we just click on next, then the current video will close down and the next video inline will automatically popup...

Can we also have the different size of screen on Google?

1. Edit the file of the site you want to change. So for google edit google.php and change the width or height settings to something else. Right now I have it set to the sites default sizes.

2. Hit the right arrow button on your keyboard

3. See #1.


I've got some things coming out with the new release. Most of you wont care unless you're worried about how this performs on a big site. I'm also making site config easier to understand.

Awesome!!! A few issues but I was able to resolve them.

Thanks

Good job, yes. And if you implement the vb Lightbox in the next release I change from AME to this, yes. I must have a Lightbox-Player for the Videos.

Did this work in the Blog Tool, too?
