AME 2.0 -Auto Media Embedding for posts, blogs, visitor and group messsages

From the creators of French and Toast comes a sweet and sticky enchanement to the New York Times best-seller: AME - Auto Media Embedding (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=150863)

AME 2.0 - The Embedder Strikes Back!

AME has won Mod of the Month for Spetember 08. Thanks!

Note that 2.5 Gold has been released. Click Here. (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=202476)

Discussions for AME 2.5 RC 1 start here (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?p=1627024#post1627024)

AME 2.0 is the next version of the "Mod of the Month" winning media embedder that:
Allows user to simply 'paste' in a URL (i.e. a youtube link) without needing to know any special tags. However instead of displaying just the URL, it will show the media within the post
is lightweight as it does all of her chores without the overhead of having 1 bbcode per pattern or trying to parse a post every single time it gets displayed with a bunch of patterns. AME radically reduces overhead and speeds up processing. The only time ame will kick in is after creating a new post or after editing an existing one (or if an ame tag is found)
is extensible. She allows you to add, edit, delete, import and export patterns. That way you can decide which services to support, how they should look and then share them with others! At time of typing this, there are over 150 media sites that have been contributed by vBulletin.org members
can extract the title (requires your server to allow url wrappers with fetch_contents)
can extract embed code from sites whose URLs do not contain sufficient information to embed the video
can rebuild your old posts to convert your 'other' mediaish tags into URL tags.
can rebuild your old posts, blogs, comments, visitor and social group messages to convert URL tags into ame tags where needed
can convert her codes BACK to url codes so you're not stuffed with a bunch of dead tags if you uninstall!
won't uglify your site by having videos appear in quotes, php, code or html blocks (blech!)
can be globally disabled
can be excluded from forums
can exclude usergroups
can be toggled on/off per post, blog, comment, visitor and social group message
would cook dinner for you if she had arms
can wrap the output in a 'container' with original URL
has a super comprehensive admincp help system. Yes, I actually took the bloody time to add all the info you need into vB's admincp help system. If you ask a silly question in this thread that is addressed in the help system, you will be taunted.
is fully phrased
has hooks around integral operations so you can extend it
Supports embedding in vbBlog, Visitor Messages and Social Groups.
Can be disabled in one or more of the following sections: Posts, vbBlog, Visitor Messages and/or Social GroupsApart from the additional areas of support around vbBlog, Visitor Messages and Social Groups, little has changed about AME since version 1.0 released over a year ago. I cleaned up a few minor bugs, trimmed and updated the default definitions.

Which sites are supported?

At time of counting this, there are about 170 sites supported. But I have only included a few common standards as default (yahoo, youtube, myspace, google and Amazon). Why only these? AME was designed with its own import and export system that enables users to create or modify definitions and share them with the community. This keeps the system lightweight, customisable and saves us all from having to upgrade every time a media site changes their URL structure or if I add another site.

Check out the 'add ons' section of this post below to see availible add-ons.



Installation/Upgrade
Upload the contents of the forums folder into your forums directory and import the product-ame.xml file into your product manager (if upgrading, choose 'yes' to overwrite previous installation).
After installation, make sure that the system is on (admincp->AME CP->Settings)
Then you may want to try to rebuild old URLs via the tools option.Big thanks goes out to all those in the community that have supported this mod. Especially Digital Jedi Who has created about 155 definitions for this system alone! :)

Change Log


2.0.2 - fixed added slashes in quote blocks (DoH!), vm advanced error and incrimented product version. You need to replace include/ame_bb_code.php and re-import the product-ame.xml to upgrade
2.0.1 - fixed missing backslashes in code blocks

2.5 Pre-Release information

Attached to this post is pre-release of version 2.5

2.5 is a pretty major upgrade from the 2.0 series and adds the following functionality to 2.0:
New in Beta 3 - Validation ability. This will help prevent media being embedded that can not be embedded (i.e. youtube videos that the author has stipulated can not be shown off of youtube). This option requires the extraction option to be turned on and a valid validation regexp. I have included one in the default youtube version. When a video on you tube gets embedded, but the author doesnt allow embedding, a link (with icon) is shown instead.
Ability to prevent non authorised usergroups from viewing (see Readme file in zip for more info)
Usergroup permissions (edit usergroup to adjust edit/view permissions)
Template driven system - uses templates now instead of 1 master replacement (see Readme file in zip for more info)
Signatures supported
Different sizes and template configurations for each supported zone (posts, blogs, groups, visitor messages and signatures)
A couple new hooks (Mainly to support a future add on for AME media in profiles)
Notfication system (similar to vB's to check for errors)
Definition keys for easier updating of definitions and to use in templates
File caching system which radically reduces processing
And more that I cant think of off the top of my head!Note that while previous definitions will work with the new system, they will not be sizeable by zone. Since DJ helped with the private beta testing, I am sure he will be releasing 2.5 versions of his definitions soon.

Please note that 2.5 is a pre-release so there will be issues. If you want more stability, use 2.x until this version becomes gold :) FWIW: The only items currently outstanding are to add some missing admincp help. The rest is working as intended as far as I can tell :)

FAQs
I will add to this as points arise

Will I lose my old custom definitions upgrading from 1.x?
Nope, but to be on the safe side, you may want to make a backup of them before you upgrade.

Can I use my old definitions or some of the existing definitions for the 1.x series?
Yup. They are all compatable

Will this run on vb3.6x?
I haven't tested it, but there should be no reason why not. Of course visitor and social messaging wont be supported.


Troubleshooting
I will add to this as issues arise


I just installed and viedos aren't working
Check the settings to ensure new entries arent disabled (admincp->ame->settings)
If you were expecting to install AME and all your old posts would be AMEfied, remember that AME will not automatically change your old URL tags. Systems that do this are VERY server intensive. AME checks for matches at the time a post, blog, comment or message is saved (creating or editing). If you want AME to embed old posts, check out the Tools section of the admincp (admincp->AME CP->Tools).When I post a media URL, I get a 'double' version

You are most likely using multiple versions of the same definition. This can occur if you import a similar definition more than once. The solution is to delete one of them.

Excellent, I am glad you are back on the hacking scene Geek :)

I have always quite liked your hacks :)

[The Geek]

Thanks Mosh :) Not really back in the modding scene, just on Vacation and thought I would update this little baby as I wanted the functionality in Blogs, groups and visitor messages too :D

Not really many changes apart from adding support for vbBlogs, visitor messages and social group messages.

I updated a few of the default definitions and added some minor enchanements to the admincp. Also fixed a couple of very minor bugs.

Other than that, its pretty much the same lightweight, easy to use beast it was before :D

It was nice of you to update the hack though :)

I take it the definitions from the 3.6 version will work fine with this version too?

[Subah]

Thanks a lot for the new version :)

[The Geek]

Yup, should do without a problem.

[Subah]

If i need to upgrade all i need is overwrite the files ? or i need to delete the old file for the 1.2 ?
and will this addon work with the new version ?
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=175378

[The Geek]

Just overwrite the files contained in the zip, import the product-ame.xml (choosing to overwrite) and that should be all you need to do.

All of the previous add on XML's (like the big one DJ did in the link above) should all work fine. If you have additional definitions already installed, they too should be fine though you may want to use the export option to back them all up first (older versions used to overwrite previous definitions, this one shouldnt).

great too see something again from the geek, always vere good mods.

[The Geek]

I see what you mean subah. I had added support for special characters (i.e. ?) but will need to look into how to support very special characters :D You can however simply turn off the extraction setting until then :)

Megatron - Is it just not linking URLs or is there another problem? Remember that it doesnt link previous posts unless you use the rebuild posts tool, otherwise it will only work on new posts. If you are making new posts and it isnt linking can you give me an example of a URL you are trying that isnt working? Also, do you have other embedding mods that could be interfering?

has anyone thought of adding code to make AME work with signatures?
I see people using video links in thier sigs all the time.

Can this be done?

It was fairly easy to add the additional areas of functionality with the only time consuming areas centred around adding the admin toggles and rebuilding tools. So maybe i'll check into it if there is enough support. I was actually putting together a small add on that allows you to show a media link in user profiles through the AME system. If I have time after that Ill check into it :)

Awesome, I was thinking that the mod will absolutely improve the AME add to be much stronger then all others... Besides signatures are more visible right?

Last question....would it be possible to modify the 3.6.X version as well? I can't upgrade as i've modified my version way too much (www.mymodeltalk.com). i intergrated it with a social networking script

[bashy]

Hi Geek, excellent hack m8, glad to see ya still producing great work :)

[voter]

Any idea how to bring this to work with vbseo?

Or how could one chek any logs, why the replacement not happening.

I suppose its because the videos would be massive in a signature or require a resize (which Im doing for the profile add-on, but not sure about as a default option).

Anyhoo, no real straight forward way to upgrade. Suppose you can check out the added hooks and see if you could tweak it :)

It works with vbSEO (at least on my site). Are they happening on new posts and if not, can you provide a link that you have been trying? Also do you have another media type hack that could be conflicting?

[mykkal]

It works with VBSEO on 3.6.X.

Contact vbseo support and see what the conflict is. They have great support my friend.

[gothicuser]

You've done it again, brilliant.
Absolutely wonderful to see you back here Sam, hope you are keeping well my friend :)

[mykkal]

I'm thinking youtube videos are a good size but I have seen smaller.

http://www.popeater.com/article/cult-legend-julius-shonuff-carry-dies/144546

Look at the videos on this page (my favorite movie)

[The Geek]

Thats very dooable with AME, the problem is in having some sections one size and other sections other sizes. Like I mentioned, I have a workaround for this, but don't think I would be happy putting the workaround into the core product. Instead I would add additional fields to define sizes based on section of the site. I just don't know when I would get to it :D

It isn't linking the URLs. I was testing it on a new post not an old one.

This is one of the hacks I love the most! but before I post I read the thread and couldn't find direct answer:

Are you going to upgrade the one for 3.6x or can we install this on 3.6x or your vacations just covers 3.7x?

[Jamesmaps]

Woooo this is awesome

Thanks a lot =)

There's a global option in Settings, but you can do individual sites by turning it off inside each definition.

Thanks IO :)

To be honest, I havent tested it on a 3.6x system, however there should be no reason that it wouldnt work. In fact I added a couple of admincp tools that can be run when you do upgrade to 3.7. (a couple of indexes that obviously wont be added if you install this on 3.6x).

So... while I havent tested it, I built it so it should be compatable with 3.6x

Anyhow, cool to see you've updated this mod. It's a great mod, and my site is more or less actually built around it. Your work is appreciated.

Just a quick update to say that, I just tested this out. Its pretty easy to implement and I will most likely do it, however the key problem with putting conditionals in is that postbit contents get cached once they are parsed. So say for instance you wanted to show a container for logged in users, but just the URL for non logged in users. If the first person to view it is a logged in user, then the conditional wont be run again until it expires from the cache and the next person views it. There are other ways to do this, just not really ideal with a conditional.

I could most likely force AME'ed posts to bypass the cache, but I don't think the performance trade off is worth it.

So...

I will most likely be switching to templates in the future as they give a lot better flexibility but you would have to be mindful of the cache for conditionals.

I has question. In an earlier version of AME, it caused an error when posting or editing a post containing PHP code (i.e. code examples), probably due to the regexes AME (I assume) uses getting triggered by PHP code. Is that issue known, and if so, has it been fixxxed in this version (or an earlier one)?

I really don't know enough about character sets, but try editing ame_bbcode.php and change:

That's a case of more then one YouTube definitions. Remember that importing new ones does not overwrite old ones with same name. So you could have multiple instances of the same definition conflicting.

My youtube vid after I press play is just having the loading sign go around and round. It is not playing. It has always worked good until I updated.

Any ideas?

Does it work for anyone else here http://www.gamerzneeds.net/forums/blogs/hornstar6969/new-video-embedding-support-blogs-profiles-339/

edit: it is working in IE but not in FF3 for me. it appears to only be youtube for now as well.
The endlessly looping video is very often a YouTube (or whichever site your dealing with) problem. And I believe it has to do with individual browser sessions.



Just a quick update to say that, I just tested this out. Its pretty easy to implement and I will most likely do it, however the key problem with putting conditionals in is that postbit contents get cached once they are parsed. So say for instance you wanted to show a container for logged in users, but just the URL for non logged in users. If the first person to view it is a logged in user, then the conditional wont be run again until it expires from the cache and the next person views it. There are other ways to do this, just not really ideal with a conditional.

I could most likely force AME'ed posts to bypass the cache, but I don't think the performance trade off is worth it.

So...

I will most likely be switching to templates in the future as they give a lot better flexibility but you would have to be mindful of the cache for conditionals.
I had thought of suggesting this too, but I just presumed it was out of the scope of things. If you can do it though, would this help address the problem with sites that use more then one media type? Quite a few sites I've had to put on the no-fly list because they would sometimes use a standard flash player, but then some videos would be Windows Media files. Would I be able to use a conditional to detect which is which?

It's great to see ya back The Geek

Looks like you have duplicate definitions (i.e. more than one youtube.com definition) which are clashing. Make sure you only have 1 of each type.
Thanks Geek, you're the best.

It would seem that the exclusion list is only for stopping users from a certain usergroup from having THEIR urls parsed.

For example, if you check it for administrators then none of your own posts will be converted. It's not a way of blocking unregistered users, simply a way to stop their posts being converted should you have guest posting on.

At least, that's what I make of it anyway. ;)

[The Geek]

You can't prevent certain usergroups from seeing the videos, just AME automatically converting them.

The reason is down to the postcache. Once a post gets parsed, it gets saved for x amount of days. Therefore when your admin first views the post, it gets cached from the 'admin' perspective. If the cache expires and a guest is the next to view it, it then gets cached from the guests perspective.

There are a couple of solutions I am playing with, but I am not 100% sold on either yet.
One would be to swap out the URL with javascript after processing, the other would be check posts during display time. The first would be the least server intensive, but not ideal. The latter simply means more server processing.

Leave it with me, I am working on a couple ideas. But if you really need a mod that will only display for certain usergroups right now then try checking out passivevid as I am pretty sure that supports the option.

HTHs

[Doctor Death]

Thanks for this great mod.

I updated on my board and then had all previous AME codes removed using the TOOLS section. When I then tried to reconstruct posts, no videos showed up, only hyperlinks.

What am I doing wrong to make it rebuild those links?

[The Geek]

Try running in test mode and verbose mode. This will show the processing in action. If you are not seeing ame tags converted when they really should, make sure the system is not disabled (admincp->AME CP->settings). Let me know.

[The Geek]

Just as an FYI:

I have completed the alpha of the next version which includes a lot more functionality based on user requests.


It prevents HTML entities within the title (i.e. &)
It supports signatures
It uses templates instead of the open and close setting. The templates can be specified per zone (i.e. signature, blog, posts, etc...) and obviously customised per style. Remember though; because of vB's postcache, using conditionals will not always produce anticipated results (i.e. a conditional display based on usergroup).
It supports sizing based on what zone you are in (i.e. one size for signatures and one size for posts)
It has an option to file cache the definitions for faster processing (especially with sites that have A LOT of definitions)


What I have left to do:

Add the new features into the admincp for easier controlling
I may add a key column to the definitions to prevent duplication of definitions and for easier updating of defaults.


Though this version will still support all the existing definitions, some changes will have to be made to support the new areas of functionality. Namely the ability to adjust the size of the media. Right now, the width and height attribute is included in the embed code. While this is fine, it means that you can't specify the size of the media with the new features. To support the new sizing options, the width and height attributes within the embed code will need to be changed from width="xxx" and height="xxx" to $ameinfo[width] and $ameinfo[height] respectively in both the object tag and the embed tag. I may also do a tool to try and automate this for users, we will just have to see how much time I have :)

Anyhooo... I have spent a great deal of my vacation time retooling this mod so I am going to go take a break and catch some sun with an ice cold beer for awhile (vacation is almost over!). I may get some time later today or tomorrow morning to release a beta, but then again, I may not :D

Sig functionality, if you read just a few posts between yours and mine, will be added by The Geek in the next version. Sounds like pretty soon.

Daily Motion is indeed supported, including all it's foreign language counterparts and 150+ other sites. You just need to get the definitions from the Add-On to this thread.

I can add them to the list for the next update cycle, but I'll have to make sure they can convert before making any promises. That said, keep on eye on the Add-On thread for the next update.

On line 82 of the automediaembed_admin, it would be very helpful if you used the long php tag' <?php' instead of '<?' in future releases. My webserver has problems displaying php files with the short tags. Also, that's the only place where you use the short tag.

Besides that, the mod is working great. Thanks for updating it!

[MindStar]

Excellent!

Would you consider using cURL (http://www.php.net/manual/en/intro.curl.php) instead of file_get_contents to get the title of the video file?

* we have disabled file_get_contents on our server due to the security risks with using file_get_contents (http://phpsec.org/projects/phpsecinfo/tests/allow_url_fopen.html).

Here's a link to an example of using cURL to replace a call to file_get_contents

http://uk3.php.net/manual/en/function.file-get-contents.php#82255

Ill look into it :)

FYI, I just tried replacing the call to file_get_contents with a call to the curl_get_file_contents and copy&pasted the function from the above php.net webpage and it worked :)

[The Geek]

@Mindstar - Ill add the option to curl or fetch for you :)

@Mikhal - I updated the next version with the php tag for :)

@DJ - if you can update your XML work with the size changes, Ill happily send you a pre-release to do so. That will save me the time of writing a conversion tool :)

@Sunset - If the page is just reloading the first, it usually means it is on test mode. If it isnt and it is taking ages... make sure you turn off the extraction method as that means each match will be trying to fetch the destination title (which can take some time)

Hope that is everyone :D

[Lizard King]

It is nice to see you back online Sam :)

[The Geek]

Hey Lizard, nice to see you still about too :)

FYI all:

I am now back from my vacation and gearing up to head out on a business trip to Athens. I have finished the first beta of what will now be 2.5 and it is being tested while I find time to do some code clean up. To whet your whistle and give you an idea as to why I have gone from version 2 to 2.5 in a couple weeks time... here is a smackle of what is included in the next version:

New in 2.5:

Ability to prevent non authorised usergroups from viewing media (see limitations below)
Full usergroup permissions support (edit user group to adjust edit/view permissions per zone)
Template driven system which uses templates now instead of 1 master replacement (see note on conditionals below)
New zone: Signatures!
Different sizes and templates for each supported zone (posts, blogs, groups, visitor messages and signatures). That means that AME's in signatures can have no container table around the media and be small, but those in posts can have special ones with larger size videos
A couple new hooks. This is to support an AME add on for profiles I prototyped.
Notification system (similar to vB's that check for configuration errors, duplicates and other items that could cause unexpected behaviour)
definition keys for easier updating of definitions. This will also allow you to use conditionals in the templates if maybe you wanted media logos or a different look to the videos.
File caching system which radically reduces processing. This saves the definition query and array building. Ideal if you have a LOT of definitions.
And more that I cant think of off the top of my head!



Limitations with usergroup viewing permissions

The new system uses javascript to attempt to 'hide' the embedded media and 'show' a default URL. If the user doesn't have javascript enabled or places an embedded video in their post via the quick reply box, it will appear to them until they refresh the page. Of course, if the person doesn't have permission to view, I doubt they would have permission to embed anyway!

Another limitation with permissions will be that if someone with permission to post URLs edits someones who doesnt... well.. . it will appear!


Note on template conditionals

vBulletin caches the contents of posts after it has been parsed to save processing time. This means that if you put a condition into one of AMEs templates that will somehow alter the contents based on who is viewing it... you will get unexpected results. Say for example, in AMEs template you used the following conditional:

<if condition="$bbuserinfo['userid']==1">Hi Bob!</if>

If someone other than userid #1 created the post (and hence the cache), it won't appear, even when user #1 views it! Obviously the opposite is also true.

The only way to get around this is to turn off vBulletins post cache, but I wouldn't recommend it!


Changes to definitions

Stop using width and height tags in your object and embed tags. Instead, use $ameinfo[height] and $ameinfo[width] respectively. This is so that users can specify the dimensions in their settings and use the same definition in different areas of the site. Although pre 2.5 definitions will work, It will look pants if you can't tweak the size for a signature!

Start putting the ameid tag in your exported items. This is a unique identifier similar to vB's productid that can contain only alphanumeric characters and an underscore (basically any combination of letters, numbers and the _ character. No spaces permitted). This tag will help prevent duplicate imports and also give the template the option of knowing what type of media it is.

I'll be updating the Master XML list soon to include the key. The Geek added this to prevent duplicate entries from being imported. I'll probably just do a new thread for them, but I have a lot of definitions to update, including the new variables involved in sizing. It will take some time.

Hi all,

Ive use a previous mod before which prefixed my vids with a Tag.

Now the code code is displayed in AME, so could someone show me what i need to do to convert them to use AME, rather than doing them manually.

Ive seen a previous post say he solved it by adding \1, but how do i implement it?

regards

[Digital Jedi]

I'm not sure what the \1 thing is referring to, but if you where using some kind of BBCode previously, the Rebuild option in Tools runs through your posts and replaces tags you previously had with [AME] tags. You just have to tell it which tags to replace. You can also run it in Test Mode to see the results and make sure it's something you want to do.

[The Geek]

Hey Magz, check out the conversion tool for old tags. Make sure you check out the admincp help associated with each option too!

[Magz]

Thanks guys,

sadly my site got hacked last night, all files deleted. Im sure they gained access via an external php arcade script i was using. Thats deleted now.

Ive got the site back, from a back up, and will try again when i readd it.

[The Geek]

man, that sucks! Sorry to hear that!

But just for future reference, AME has a conversion utility in the tools menu that can allow you to uninstall 'other' media tags. It does this by turning them into URL tags. From that point, you can then run the rebuild tools to change URL tags into AME tags. I thought that would be more useful than making a tool that simply converted other media tags into ame tags.

HTHs!

[The Geek]

Is it possible to get this working with vBadvanced Dynamics?
I am sure it would be, however I don;t have, never used it and don't really have time to. However looking at the various hooks around the blog, group messages, etc.. someone should be able to whip out an easy add on to do it (as long as dynamics has hooks in the right places :) )

Found it, but still doesn't work for me, somethings not right somewhere. So I can't event get 2.0.2 to work.

[The Geek]

in version 2.0.2 in admincp/automediaembed_admin.php on line 82, is this tag:

<?


Some server configurations require:

<?php


If that change isn't made and your server requires it, it will usually just spit out PHP code when you browse to the ame admin page. Making the change fixes it. This change was made in the current 2.5 beta, hence the reason you could use the ame admincp in 2.5. The only problem I am currently aware of in the current 2.5 beta is rebuilding only seems to work on the first page. As I said in a previous post, this should be rectified in the next couple days when I get home.

Anyhoo. Hope this helps!

is it possible to embed the video only when within a custom bbcode?
ie. <youtube-url>

Because sometimes embedding is disabled on youtube making the youtube video "Not available" and showing a blank screen when embedded.

That will not make the video show up, as that's still embedding. When YouTube says embedding is disabled, that means there's no way around it.

For that use, just uncheck the embed option when posting. Or am I not understanding what you mean? So you will end up with the link, rather than the video that will not play.

[Locutus 2.0]

This will be great for my board

[komirad]

Yea, that's why I don't want all the links to convert to embeds, instead give users a choice.

For that use, just uncheck the embed option when posting. Or am I not understanding what you mean? So you will end up with the link, rather than the video that will not play.

Unchecking would mean that the whole post will not be embedded.
If we can do a http://youtube.com/v/xxxxxxxx kinda thing that would convert the url to link, it would be good.

It would mean that users can embed those vids that are not disabled and post links to those which are in a single post. I currently do this with youtube tags, but users would have to extract the Video ID from the url to put in between the tags.. which is a hassle and a problem to users not familiar to the url structures/query strings.

With some simple programming we should be able to extract the ID even if the url varies like below:
http://youtube.com/watch?v=xxxxxxxx
http://youtube.com/watch?v=xxxxxxxx&feature=related
http://youtube.com/watch?v=xxxxxxxx&eurl=somesite.com/yyy

The point of AME is to automatically embed matching URLs. As mentioned, If you don't want the video to show in a post, just tick the 'Do not automatically embed media' option.

Ok. I see what you mean here. You want an 'exempt' code. Not too sure about that. You can put it in a code, php or HTML block to accomplish that... but I am not sold on creating another code block just to intermix normal links and embedded links :(

http://youtube.com/watch?v=xxxxxxxx&eurl=somesite.com/yyy

Ame does this but can't tell you from the URL if embedding is supported or not. Possibly by using the extract destination option (i.e. a regexp that determines if the page has 'embedding dissallowed' on (or whatever). But that is something I wouldnt support natively as it can be done via a new definition.

Is there any change on 2.0.2 since last update ? i have it on my forum and i login and found the mod is updated when i look on the mod i found the new beta 2.5 so i think do not need to update the 2.0.2 right ?
The updated flag must have happened when I uploaded 2.5, 2.0.2 is the same file :)

youtube videos no longer get shown..instead it just says "this video is not available" however when u check on youtube , the video is there but wont get played through the mod!

help!

Same as above.

This is not working for me... I was using the old version on my 3.7x and it was working perfectly... I then upgraded to this by over writing as the op said, now its not working at all, the links wont convert... Whats the problem, what do i do wrong.

[Locutus 2.0]

My problem is that I don't have direct or indirect access to the ftp ... is there a way around this I can fix my problem? I really want something like AME ... I could make do with passive video lite... but that gives me the same problems...

[The Geek]

Guys...

Loctus, your files were not uploaded to the correct location.

Eneswar & akulian- I will lay money on the fact that those videos have embedding sidabled by the video poster. Check the youtube page. If the 'author' doesnt want it posted, youtube wont let it playoutsideof youtube

[Eneswar]

No that wasnt the problem i had yesterday... Anyhow i went to sleep, woke up, tried again, and it just suddenly worked.... very wierd.. :S

The other thing I noticed is that if I hit preview first, the video doesn't parse out completely, only the parsed URL is displayed. If I submit the post without preview, it works fine.

@io - havent tested it, but technically it SHOULD work :)

@directprrint - I'm Sam. Think my mom called me Geek?!? :D

Not sure what the problem is by glancing at that post. Maybe Ive missed something. FWIW, the next beta has been delayed as I am adding a new feature to be able to test for disallowed embedding (i.e. a youtube video that doesnt allow other websites to embed it).

[SnapOff Racing]

I installed it and the videos show up properly for 3 seconds then disappear and a link pops up. What gives? everything's enabled in ACP.

[Cars2007]

I am not sure if this is a bug or not. We are having an issue with the exempt groups. If a user is part of only one group and that group is not on the exempt list, it works just fine. However, if we add a group that is on the exempt list, despite the fact that they belong to a group already that should be allowed to use this feature, it does not work for them.

Is there any way around this? Is there any way to specify "If this user belongs to ANY group that is not on the exempt list, let them use this feature."??

When i try and run the conversion, using test mode, i get

I've just installed this on my test forum and have had a few problems.

YouTube videos will embed nicely, but won't play. Thought this might be a problem with YouTube so checked on my live site and the old version of PassiveVid running on there is playing them without a problem or any loading delay. :erm:

I imported the master.xml file and it only imported 20 definitions. Do I have to manually import all of the other defs so they embed? Is there a real master def file that allows for importation of all the defs found in the DJ's AME.zip file?

I deleted all the defs shown and imported just the imeem (music) one but when I posted a link for a single from imeem it only showed the link, no player.

Limitations with usergroup viewing permissions
----------------------------------------------
The new system uses javascript to attempt to 'hide' the embedded media and 'show' a default URL. If the user doesnt have javascript enabled or places an embedded video in their post, it will appear to them until they refresh the page. Of course, if the person doesnt have permission to view, I doubt they would have permission to embed anyway!

AME 2.5 Beta 3 has now been uploaded into the first post.

This beta addresses some bugs found in the previous beta, completes more of the admincp help (though there are still a few more admincp help items to do) and adds a couple of new features:

nomedia tag

I have implemented the ability to wrap a URL in a [nomedia] tag. Matching URLs found within these tags will not embed, but rather link with an icon to indicate that it is an offsite media link.

Embedding validation

This will help prevent AME from embedding videos that can not be shown offsite. A good example is a music video on youtube where there is no embed code displayed because the author has stipulated that the video can only be shown on youtube. Curently, the video will embed, however when you play it, you get a message saying the video is invalid (or similar).

The new validation feature will check for the embed code on the destination page. If it isn't found, AME won't embed the video. Instead, AME will wrap the URL in a [nomedia] tag (see above) which shows a link and icon to indicate that you must go offsite to view it.

For this feature to work, the extract destination data setting must be on (and working). Furthermore, the definition must have a valid validation regexp. I have updated the default youtube definition to get you started :)

Please be aware that 2.5 is still beta so treat it as such!

[The Geek]

Sorry, Can you explain a little more. Are you saying you cant Duplicate this, or can I?

Each time i try to convert tags, i get "You are missing the \1 parameter in at least one of your conversions". Yet i havent edited anything in either Codes, or conversions box.

Sorry, I don't. I copied and pasted your entries from above and it seems to work fine (though in fairness I was trying it in the latest beta - though that shouldnt make a difference). Feel free to PM me admincp details and I will take a look when I have a minute.

[akulion]

about to install the beta 3 soon

just downloaded it

ok i installed it,

the nomedia tag seems to work but it dislays the url with the URL tag on each end (opening and closing tags) so i think people who use this will want that not to display..

apart from that working oki doki

[furst]

The new validation feature will check for the embed code on the destination page. If it isn't found, AME won't embed the video. Instead, AME will wrap the URL in a [nomedia] tag (see above) which shows a link and icon to indicate that you must go offsite to view it.

Great improvement.

Just to add to what DJ was saying, this isn't to do with the product, this is to do with publishers of the video disabling offsite embedding. If you read 2 posts before yours, you will see a new feature in 2.5 that helps to mitigate this.

Beta 3 has a Problem (Bug).

When Posting a Message, and Choosing not to Auto-Embed Media, the Mod Auto-Embeds the Media No Matter What Against User's Will. :confused:

I've made the same Exercise Using 2.1.5 Beta 3 and 2.0.2 (the one I'm currently Using), and Beta 3 has that Bug and 2.0.2 Does the Job OK.

For Now I'll Stay with 2.0.2, but I liked a lot the New Improvements on Beta 3, so I'll wait for this Bug to be Corrected to Try it Again on my Test Forum.

My Best Regards.

[karlm]

Not sure whether this has been addressed or not, or maybe it will be in 2.5, but upon 'preview post/thread' - the link is not converted, and if an edit is made to the thread - the conversion is destroyed, leaving only a link to the url of the page instead of the conversion into a playable file.

That looks like an error from the embedded HTML. Since it isnt a default definition, you may need to ask the author of it. :(

Not sure whether this has been addressed or not, or maybe it will be in 2.5, but upon 'preview post/thread' - the link is not converted, and if an edit is made to the thread - the conversion is destroyed, leaving only a link to the url of the page instead of the conversion into a playable file.

Huh, I cant reproduce this. Editing works as intended (i.e. works fine) at my end and it even embeds in the preview as intended? Can you help by providing some examples?

Any ideas on this? Running 2.5 Beta 2 (upgrading to Beta 3 now)
Post the link to the Vimeo video causing that in my thread. I'm not getting any errors when I tested a few.

Ok. This looks like a bug. To fix this until next release, do this:

in include/ame_bbcode.php find:


if ($vbulletin->userinfo['permissions']['automediaembed_edit_permissions'] & $vbulletin->bf_ugp['automediaembed_edit_permissions']["can_$zone"])
{

return true;

}


and change to:


if (!($vbulletin->userinfo['permissions']['automediaembed_edit_permissions'] & $vbulletin->bf_ugp['automediaembed_edit_permissions']["can_$zone"]))
{

return false;

}


Fantastic! That worked! Thank you!!

How odd.. it happens every time without fail on mine.

If you like I can supply you a log in for my forum and you can witness it for yourself. It could be one of the other plugin's I am using, maybe causing some issue?

[The Geek]

That would be great.

@all - Next 2.5 beta should be out this weekend and should take care of all outstanding issues. After that, the gold version will most likely follow as phrasing and most of the 'stuff I do during RC' has really been done.

Looking forward to it Sam :)

And I should have the updated Master XML of definitions available shortly after it's release. :D

[Baldilocks]

Any reason this should be trying to change Wikipedia links? Every time I or a user posts a Wikipedia link we get a "Wikimedia Error" in the post instead of just a regular link.

Several videos are not working on my site. I'm running 2.0 right now. Some will not display at all and some will display but with an error like "video not found", or it will be the wrong video. I have extract destination data installed.

My best guess is that something happened when i switched servers a while back. I'm wondering if any certain features needed to be enabled by the host in order for this modification to work properly?

Keep in mind that some embeds do work, like youtube and collegehumor. Any help would be much appreciated.

Sorry insist, but I am with this problem and I would like someone try it and report the result.

Thank you.

Could you specify which and post links to some examples in my definitions thread so I can address them on the next update?

Most likely that the videos have embedding disabled. Follow the link and see if there is embed code on the page. 2.5 introduces a way to help prevent this.

Actually, i think i've done that already. You told me to look back at the earlier version of AME ro see if an issue like this occurred. I didn't have any luck with that.

Normally, I'd grab the link to each video and test them on my forum. But since you have the container turned off, the link to the videos isn't there. Do you think you could send me each of the links to videos that are saying not available?

[megatop78]

hi, i am a noob and not so experienced, i need your help. i installed this without any errors. checked whether the system is turned on. Everything looks fine. But when i post any video link it just comes up as a link and not as embedded video. Can you help me out please.

[The Geek]

you need to specify which version you are using.

If its 2.5, check usergroup permissions (save them even if they look correct)

[Baldilocks]

Any idea about the Wikimedia Error I posted about a few messages back?

[The Geek]

The only reason that a link would be changed by AME is because you have a definition installed that matches those links. If you get a resulting error, chances are that definition isn't valid so it isn't getting the correct information out of the link. If this is the case, you will want to speak to whomever wrote the definition as no wiki definitions come with AME by default.

Hope this helps!

[Baldilocks]

Not really as I have only installed the definitions found in this thread. LOL. Oh well, it's no biggie really.

[nMIK-3]

Guys I have a problem.

I installed it successfully V2.0.2 and all the settings looks alright however it is not automatically embed videos.

When I post a link from youtube as plain link in form of http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kkZdkHylJ3w then only the link shows, no video. Then if I manually add the AME tags in form of http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kkZdkHylJ3w it works!

The point is to do it automatically. Any idea of what issue may cause this annoying problem?

Entering that URL in a new post doesn't embed? Are there any other modifications that could be interfering?

[Baldilocks]

It wasn't a video.

For some reason when I or a user just links to any Wikipedia page, instead of displaying a regular link to wiki, it displays "Wikimedia Error". (As shown below)

I thought it might the the Title URL Replace modification, but I unstalled it and rebuilt the threads and was still getting that message.

Hey Geek thanks for your respond, yes it doesn't embed for some reason.

It is brand new server, fresh installation of vBulletin 3.7.3, with vBadvanced 3.0.1 and nothing else except the AME.

Any ideas?

I temporarily added the title linked with the urls back so you can take a look at them.
