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/

If you can also look into why it adds url tags to Vimeo vids as of late rather than media tags when posting urls to Vimeo vids, you'd be awesome. I sometimes just add my own media tags, but frequently it just displays the url with media tags instead of making the video show, but only when doing Vimeo, as it works perfect with YouTube but YT's video quality sucks so nobody serves HD content there.

I echo that sentiment - seems like sometimes it recognizes there's a vid file there, and other times it doesn't and puts url tags in place instead of media tags.

Post some of the urls that don't work for Vimeo.

Hi Nix,

Thanx for the MOD, it's great, because it works and does what it says on the tin.

However, I've a little thing that I need for the Goldbrick system, as I'm sure many other's would eventually need to have as a legal requirement.

With the advent of a lawsuit against Google in America, in which Google will be forced by law to pass on a list of usernames and IP addresses for all their memebrs who watch their videos, and will eventually pass to other video sharing sites (I'm sure it's Google who have the lawsuit against them), I feel it is necessary for me to provide a notice on my board when someone submits a media link to the Goldbrick system that states I am not responsible for the media they submit, and should notify blah blah if they spot an illeagal video.... blah blah blah... A disclaimer.

So, is it possible to have a disclaimer pop up when you go to submit a link to the GoldBrick system?

I don't agree with presenting a disclaimer myself, but considering media companies are trying to crack down on video sharing (even though my members who submit the links aren't even responsible for ileagal videos being on YouTube, Google and other video sharing sites), the disclaimer should be there by legal requirements.

Thanks in advance for all your help,
Step
:-D

Your submission could not be processed because a security token was missing.

If this occurred unexpectedly, please inform the administrator and describe the action you performed before you received this error.

When you try to add a video to profile. Vb3.7.2P1
So seems security token is missing and not being passed?

Also when you go to the link:
profile.php?do=gb_video

It removes a LOT of links in the big drop down menu on left side of site that are default VB. Will take screen shot.

Love this mod been with it since 3.6

This MOD and https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...=184571&page=3 this MOD conflict when both are set to highslide. Causing your mod to get a brown border on the image when loaded.

Hey Nix ,

Still working great on my site waiting for the updates release ..

Hey can you add in something for VBA Module where the admins or mods can put a specific Video in only ...

[Finster]

Why do a disclaimer? I think technically all it is doing is within a frame on your website, it is showing what is essentially on the video file sharing website.

When i try to have a profile video i have this message:

"Your submission could not be processed because a security token was missing.

If this occurred unexpectedly, please inform the administrator and describe the action you performed before you received this error."

And i'm the administrator.
Everything is set up in usergroups so people can post profile videos
