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/

before Profiles dosn't apply Media so I didn't get this option before

Now after I install URL Redirect hack
the media dosn't work when I Use New Goldbrick Style coz the link change to
http://www.egyptsons.com/misr/ext.php?ref=#vid-d853bdf0
for example :-
http://www.egyptsons.com/misr/post820081-4.html

The quick edit bug is fixed, which is the main one I had issues with (and sometimes the minimize part). At any rate, still an issue...

When updating post cache, all [media] bbcode tags become unparsed. The link just shows up as:

[media]http://www.videosource.com/pathtomediafile.blah[/media]

I don't use that hack so I can't help you there.

Problem with the size of the video.
My settings in Goldbrick media is 512x384 as my video files are this size.
But I get a correct black window of 512x384 and a wrong video size of 320x250 inside...
Here is the source code:

<a class="{frameWidth: 512, frameHeight: 384}" href="#vid-b41eb465" title="Goldbrick media" rel="gbmedia">
			
				<img src="goldbrick/goldbrickplay.gif" />
			
			<br />
			Mon lecteur
		</a>

		<div style="display:none" id="vid-b41eb465">
			<embed 
			src="players/mediaplayer.swf" 
			width="512" 
			height="384"
			allowscriptaccess="always" 
			allowfullscreen="true" 
			flashvars="width=320&amp;height=250&amp;file=http://www.location_of_my_video.flv" 
			/>

		</div>

This is very great hack, but I really need to disable Auto Phrases URL's !
