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/

Rapid I don't see "Test Only" under the image when displayed in full size. Get me a link for any dailymotion, megavideo and I'll test it on my forum for you.

[rapidphim]

Broken, please see my post #648 (few threads above). This is so weird that Dailymotion and MegaVideo are not working on mine and I also saw the Test Only on the bottom of the image... grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

I don't have time to add new sites untill I get this where I want it. Goldbrick is setup to allow you to add your own though.

Are you using 1.8 from the zip file I posted?

[rapidphim]

Nix, Yes I am using the 1.8 version. I have been having problem with DailyMotion on 3.6.x. Can you please check the above two example DailyMotion and Megavideo links? Also, Flash player is not working properly too. And not sure everyone or just me, I received the "Test Only" footnote on the bottom of the (some) images.

I tried the two links that you posted and I wasn't able to get them to play on my forum. I'm not that familiar with DailyMotion or Megavideo, but are these links direct links to the video feed?

I'm using v1.5
I did upgrade to v1.8 but I went back to v1.5. I don't know why v1.8 just didn't work for me as well.

I had to revert back to 1.5, I uploaded the 1.8 and the threads I had videos in went blank(white pages). I will try it again with a uninstall/reinstall and let you know.

Yeah, that's what happened when I upgraded to 1.8. So I reverted back to 1.5 and it works like a charm.
