AME 2.5 - Media Embedding for posts, sigs, vm's, groups and blogs

[The Geek]

That isn't AME. AME doesn't add tags like that.

[Scitz0]

I just installed this module on my 3.8.3 forum but I have a problem with the import. No matter what I try it always say(translated from swedish) "No file uploaded and no local file found.". And yes, I use AME CP->Import Definitions. Tried to browse to the file stored on my computer, tried to upload the file to the server and import localy and I even tried to rename the file so there are no special chars or spaces. The files I have tried are from https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=195884&page=49 , tried both the master xml and a single definition with the same result. Not sure what to do.

Need help resolving this please.

Okay, the first major thing I'm running into is, the non-embeddable videos are indeed converting to links, but the link doesn't go a valid URL. It seems to be using the title instead of the URL.

Example
URL: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XZcG0NBMcDA&feature=related
Converts: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/ YouTube - Boyz II Men - End Of The Road (http://www.cogonline.net/forums/YouTube%20-%20Boyz%20II%20Men%20-%20End%20Of%20The%20Road)

URL: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jsd0pKGr2Os
Converts: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/ YouTube - The Jets - The Same Love (http://www.cogonline.net/forums/YouTube%20-%20The%20Jets%20-%20The%20Same%20Love)


Also, the source code in the default YouTube definition is no longer used by YouTube, so not all videos will load in that case.
I have similar issue on vBulletin v3.8.2 and AME v2.5.5.

When I post full URL (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i8OLcbxZ0cA) everything is OK, player will appear. But when I post URL without http://, it shows only link with this target:
http://www.svethardware.cz/forum/www.youtube.com/watch?v=i8OLcbxZ0cA

It adds URL of our forum to beginning and link is of course not working. How to change it please? Besides that this mod is great becouse users don't need to learn something new, thanks.

[Scitz0]

Got it to work now, had to retry several times before it accepted the xml.

[The Geek]

I have similar issue on vBulletin v3.8.2 and AME v2.5.5.

The example above isn't related to this. Those examples were working as intended as embedding was disabled (in fact, neither of those videos are valid links anymore anyway)


When I post full URL (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i8OLcbxZ0cA) everything is OK, player will appear. But when I post URL without http://, it shows only link with this target:
http://www.svethardware.cz/forum/www.youtube.com/watch?v=i8OLcbxZ0cA

It adds URL of our forum to beginning and link is of course not working. How to change it please? Besides that this mod is great becouse users don't need to learn something new, thanks.

However this I just confirmed as indeed a bug. The bug is that if no protocol is included (i.e. no http://) then the link will be malformed. I have included the fix in the next release but as I am heading out on Holiday Saturday, Ill post it here for those that want to apply the fix sooner.

in includes/ame_bbcode.php on or around line 492 find


$url = str_replace(array("", "", "", ""), array("","","",""), $param1);


and directly below it, add:


if (!preg_match('#^[a-z0-9]+(?<!about|javascript|vbscript|data):#si', $url))
{
$url = "http://$url";
}

I think I might have a similar issue. I just upgraded to vB 3.8.3, and I'm finding that valid video links convert to standard URL tags, not AME tags. I don't use the WYSIWYG editor, so I don't think it has anything to do with the color tags, if that makes a difference.

Not sure if it's important, but when it changes to URL tags, the link is displayed as if embedding were disabled:
102400

Also, I noticed that if I manually change the URL tags to AME tags, it shows up correctly, BUT if I try to edit the post again, the AME tags revert back to URL tags. But the ame_strip function seems to be doing this, so maybe it's on purpose, with the expectation that it will be converted back to AME tags?

Anyhow, maybe I'll jump back to the previous version of AME, but I thought I'd let you know about it :)

Thanks for all your great work with this mod, by the way!

[biome.pat]

Mod is also not working for me. Mine is a fresh install of vbulletin version 3.8.3 and i have triple checked to ensure all files are in place and that I have the settings as they should be... links are simply links (youtube videos, embedding allowed) whether new posts or old ones edited. The videos are simply not appearing. Just a heads-up that it's not an isolated incident... great looking mod though, so I'll try to be patient :)
Let me guess -- and the tooltip was showing up when you hovered the link, saying "External Embedding Not Available"?

I think I just figured this out:
Turn off "Extract destination data" in the settings. It seems like it's detecting embedding as disabled regardless. You'll need to rebuild to fix old posts, but any new posts should just show up.

This is vB3.8.3 by the way, in case it helps Geek!

Cheers all

UPDATE: The only other plug-in that seemed like it might conflict was the "Auto-Merge Post" plugin, which also uses the newpost_complete hook. I disabled it and the problem was still there.

Same issue here on vB 3.8.3 and AME 2.5.5, no matter what, the videos will no longer embed and only show up as titles.

[SMMensans]

This mod is great. Thanks to everyone involved.

Is there a way to change the color of the font above the videos without changing the color in the actual forum style? If not is there a way to change which font color (First Alternating Color), it pulls from in the forum style?

Not sure about the automerge hack (which I noticed in your attachement) however i did notice that the video that embeded clearly didn't extract the definition data as the title was just 'You Tube'. There is either a subtle bug with validation when extraction isn't enabled (or working) or you have extraction on, but your server doesn't allow it (i.e. you don't have ccurl). Edit the Youtube definition and either remove the validation regexp or turn off the 'extraction' setting.

The default Amazon.com link definition seems to have trouble parsing certain Amazon links.

The preferred (and shortest) url to link to an Amazon product page for affiliates is:
http://www.amazon.com/dp/ASIN/?tag=yourID

(where ASIN is the 10 digit Amazon product ASIN number and yourID would be the Amazon Affiliate ID)

An example of a working url would be:
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00005QGAT/?tag=yourID


Unfortunately AME's Amazon definition parses and rewrites this url as:
http://www.amazon.com/d/p/B00005QGAT/?tag=yourID

An extra / (slash) is being added between the d and p which breaks the link.

I assume this can be corrected with a different regular expression setting? Does anyone know what the fix would be?

The info will be in the tcat css definition (or it will be inherited from the parent element). You can use the style attribute to override the fonts though.

AME is designed to accept the URL formats that users will copy and paste from Amazon itself (which I suspect wouldnt normally be this example). You can however customize the replae code how you see fit. Though I have no idea the correct format you need, I suspect something like:


<a href="http://www.amazon.$p1/dp/$p3/?tag=yourid" target="_blank" title="$ameinfo[title]"><img src="images/misc/amazon_icon.gif" border="0" alt="$ameinfo[title]" /></a> <a href="http://www.amazon.$p1/dp/$p3/?tag=yourid" target="_blank" title="$ameinfo[title]">$ameinfo[title]</a>


Note that in the above change, I changed:
http://www.amazon.$p1/$p2/$p3/

to

http://www.amazon.$p1/dp/$p3/?tag=yourid

There isn't any reported issue with AME running on big boards, however during installation AME adds a TINYINT column to the post table for perfomance reasons. This installation is what is slowing down your install.

My suggestion is to manually add the column using phpMyAdmin or similar tools preferably closing down the site during the install.

Then run the install and AME will skip that process elegantly as the column would already exist.

Hello, I really love this piece of software but it is not really working for the EA-Sports links.

I run a EA-Madden-League and members post their Game-Highlights as links on the EA-Sports site.

The posted links to the Videos can look like this:

1) http://www.easportsworld.com/en_US/video/8157415

and is automatically converted into

2) http://beta.easports.com/media/play/video/8157415

When posting the first link on my board, AME converts the link into the container, showing a nice EA-Logo and the link on top of the container is directing the user to the correct EA site, but the video won't start. Instead I get the triangle with a exclamation mark in it.

When people post the converted link (#2) it just shows up unconverted (without the container) as a simple link.

I have made an example on my board to show the problem. May anyone give me a hint what to change in the EA-Sports definition so that the replay videos can be played within the post on my board when either #1 or #2 link gets posted? Thank you very much!

Here is the example how the EA links (#1 and #2) show up within a post on my board:

SOunds like a problem with the custom definition that you are using. Sadly I can't really offer direct support in this thread for custom definitions, but if you post in DJs thread (assuming thats where you got it from) with example URLs then I will see if I can set some time aside to investigate it for you.

Ossedia is right. As per the troubleshooting and readme posts, double videos appear when you have duplicate definitions. You need to delete one of the duplicates.

Don't know as AME only comes with 1. My guess is that it is one of the ones that only have YouTube in the title (not HD or playlists). You can try making each one inactive one by one then edit and save a post that is currently double dipping.

I suspect that the unserialize error is a one off, all it is doing is trying to save and redeploy your last used settings for that particular page. It won't actually affect the running of the page.

The convert media tags SHOULD revert the old media tags, however it may require a slightly more complex regexp type pattern. Withouth spending some time on it, I am not sure what theat would be.

re: showing in quotes, there is no way to disable this without a file edit, and it is the first time it has been mentioned. I will consider it for a future release.

Just wanted to say THANK YOU SOOOO MUCHHHHHHH....!!!

installed.. and works like a charm !!!

Thanks, don't forget to click install ;)

Yups,... all went fine script works it just that this error message bothers me,... is there maybe anything that can be removed from that file so no more error?

;( i did trey several ways no luck,... do u maybe have a hint,- or anybody else?

My members are already `crying` because of this,... i just switched from GB (where this was working) - Hopefully this will be implemented in next release, and hopefully it will be soon ;)

Is there any suggestion that could fix this? This only appear each time people try to post on "redirection window", without need to include AME on the post.

I have no clue how to add this. Vbulletin is vastly inferior to phpbb. Everything on phpbb could be done with the click of a mouse or through tech support, not ridiculous downloads with coding that I don't even understand nor know how to use.

If anybody can help me I would appreciate it. I'm extremely frustrated right now because I spend hours on the phone every day with VB over things that could be accomplished in seconds on phpbb.

There's no coding required to install this. The instructions for a New Install are included in the ZIP file in the Readme text. Only three steps, one of which is downloading the ZIP file.

nothing can touch vBulletin when it comes to customizing things. phpbb is good for someone that doesn't care about their site.

that's kinda crazy to say something is inferior just because you don't know how to use something or your use to using a different system. kinda makes you look like an a$$.

i've used all the major forum software and yes there is a slight learning curve with vbulletin but it's far superior to the rest.

just my opinion.

[The Dawg]

Noob question.

Previously I had HTML enabled. Is there a tool I can use via AdminCP, Shell, etc to search and replace all posts? Even if it worked just for YouTube it would be great.

* I searched this mod and did not see these questions answered.

Thanks.

Anyone?

[Digital Jedi]

Anyone?
No, not with the AME tools. That would only replace BBCode. I'm afraid that would all have to be done manually, post by post.

Totally stumped as I have no clue what you are having a problem with. Read the Readme and let me know if there is a problem (but try to be specific please)

The findonly.php file (in the above folder) is either missing or (more likely) the permissions have recently been changed on it. You can rebuild the cache files by toggling off and on the cache setting in AME

Really not sure, best to post it in the therad where you got that definition from (assume its DJ's), then it can be looked into a bit better and keep this thread focused on the core project :)


My members are already `crying` because of this,... i just switched from GB (where this was working) - Hopefully this will be implemented in next release, and hopefully it will be soon ;)

Its actually a 'feature' of AME. In other words, I spent time coding a solution to prevent ugly quoting of videos. Like I said, Ill see if I can write in an option for it, but first time its been asked for ;)

Hello,

I was really happy to have such a mod in my forum untill i installed vB blog today. Ever since, I have been getting an error like this:

but the blog is posted anyway in the forum. Any idea, what could be the problem??


This was when i tried to embed a youtube link. So i tried to post a simple blog without any attachment, it still throws up an error like this:

I'd appreciate if you could help me fix this. Thanks a lot !
plz note that the blog is posted anyway but leads to an error page. I have to go back to blog forum to check whether it's posted or not (this will confuse my users)

[The Geek]

Check the AME tools (in the admincp). There is an option to add the ame flag to the blog system if you install it AFTER ame.

[The Geek]

On a side note, the next version allows you to override size settings per definition and includes a test bed to test, troubleshoot and develop definitions. I will most likely wait until vb4.0 before releasing though.

[hippyTRIBE]

Thanks a lot GEEK ..

Surprised to know you have anticipated future problems and keeps everything ready. Great work.

I just came to know, i have only 2 definitions. May be i should go out and dig more.

Usually that means files are missing. Make sure you put everything in the proper location.

I checked everything and seems to be there. Here's a screen shot of the files:

and all the files from admincp to xml are there. What I did notice is that we have another forums folder right below customprofilepics which contains the same file as the highlighted forums folder. Do you think that can be causing interference?

What it appears you've done, is you've put the upload folder by itself inside the forums folder.

You're supposed to overwrite your existing forums folder with the forums folder from the ZIP file. This will put all the AME files in the correct place.

It depends, it seems, on the forum, but most of the time it will work if the URL in the feeds post is a supported one. In other cases you have to put tags around the variable in the Feed Manager to get it to convert.

[wheezyb]

any ideas about this guys?

Starting yesterday I've had issues with the viewing forum statistics (for a lack of a better term).

For example, I'll have 30 people online (and only have two forums and 99% of the traffic is in one forum), but in the forums home it will only show that 2-3 people are viewing the forum (when it is obviously not the case, multiple people are posting during this time).

When I click on currently active users, most users are from unknown locations. Underneath it reads: /clientscript/ame.js

I have the AME plugin installed, but I've had it installed for over a month with no such issues. Haven't made any CPanel modifications in a while either. Even still, I don't know why that plugin would have any effect on this issue (I don't even know that ame.js has anything to do with the AME plugin, just figured it did.)

I attached a screenshot of the currently active users to show what I'm talking about.

[metalguy639]

Will this show up in a vbadvanced CMPS page? I have it set inside a news module and the videos are not showing up. What should I do to make them appear? I'm using vb 3.8.4 & CMPS 3.2.1.

What I did was make a custom module to display my custom news module copy (copied the news module to a new module). In this news module I want to show the parts of the post & the actual video, but all I get is the posts and not the video I embedded into that post. It works fine inside the forum where I posted the link, but it just does not show in vbadvanced CMPS. Any help would be great! Thanks.

Nevermind I found the answer on the vbadvanced forum. all you need to do to make it show up in vb cmps is increase the character limit for words in the mod setting.

I love the idea of this mod.... however, I am having somewhat of what seems to be an issue. (Mind you, I've only gone through about 20 of the 50 pages in this thread).

It appears to have installed just fine, I can access the cp and the settings. However, when I post a link to a youtube video, google video, or photobucket video (Only ones ive tried so far), it tells me that "External embedding not available". I read that this is supposed to happen with content that is set to not embed, but I made sure none of the content I tried had that setting.

I also installed the masterxml (Delta) def file successfuly...

Looks like your server doesnt allow extraction and so the youtube entry is failing to validate. Turn off extraction and/or delete anything in the validation field of your youtube entry.

[The Geek]

Really not sure how that is related. If you look at the file, it is only 1 small function that simply toggles AME media on or off depending on the usergroups setting (unless the server and file have been compromised). I would double check the contents of your js file against a fresh copy.

This is a great mod, and I've been a fan (as my users have been) of the ability to embed Youtube videos. I've decided to try similar with Amazon - but it just won't work.

You appear to have more than one Amazon definition active, so they're doubling up.

No, I make sure only one amazon definition is active each time, so when I screengrabbed (and posted amazon link) it was the only definition active.

uh.. please disregard any issues I was having. For whatever reason, it seems to all work now. The test area on my site was restricted, so even if it did work (Which it appears it did), it wouldn't have shown to work.

You have my definitions installed from my thread, but remember that AME comes with an Amazon definition by default. Check to see that you don't have three definitions, with two being active.

I think you're missing the aminfo.php file or it's in the wrong place.ok, I downloaded the zip again, and opened it. There is no ameinfo.php in this download.

Right, it's in the right place. Did you remember to CHMOD your amechache folder? It has to be 777 and you would probably have to set those permissions again each time you re-upload and overwrite that folder during an upgrade.

Try this:

3- Check to see the amecache folder is chmodded correctly
4- Delete any ameinfo.php and findonly.php if they are in there
5- Go back to the ame admincp settings page
6- Enable the file cache and save

FYI AME lovers.

Freddie has blogged that they are adding Embedding support into vB4.0. :)

Once I have had time to verify the process, I will provide instructions on how to convert existing AME tags to vB4's native format. Since AME already provides a clear conversion utility and an uninstallation process, this should be a doddle to do but I really don't want to commit until I have had a chance to personally verify and test on a beta.

I have to admit to feeling a slight pang of sadness seeing an old friend like AME go, however this type of functionality should be native and not a mod. Having this type of functionality native not only means its coded and supported at the highest level possible, it means that the functionality can be far more extensive and integrated than a mod. So to me, I think the news that vB4 is supporting embedding is very sweet.

Just wanted to say thanks for you support, don't sweat converting to vB's new codes and as always...

nJoy!

Sam you may want to re-think letting AME go. You'll see why I say that when you get to beta.

Hmm. Sounds ominous! I am sure they will do a great job with it and to be honest, I would think it would require far more time to retool AME to run along side something that (in theory) natively does the same thing. Regardless, once I get a hold of a beta and start to test the conversion of existing codes, then i'll make a more informed decision to continue with the project or not :)

BTW: Did the above sort your problem out?

I believe that 4.0 will have video supported out of the box. Is that what you are talking about? Anyway, I installed this and it works great. Cheers!

It remains to be seen whether it will support media to the degree that AME can. If anything, vB emulates modification functionality, but rarely duplicates it to a great extent.

AME uses templates, so all you would need to do is edit the template in that mobile style to display whatever you wanted.

i don't see "clientscript/ame.js" in the template. is it in a plugin? either way, it would just be nice to have a field in the settings that says exclude styleid or something. not a big deal. just a wish maybe. ;)

You wouldn't need to do anything to the JS file. Just replace the contents of the AME template with something simple, like a link to the video.

[testbot]

i'm not sure if i'm getting you or not. the clientscript/ame.js is in the <head> tags which can cause problems on some mobile phones that can't handle javascript.

I can't claim to know all about mobile phone browsers, however if you look at the js file, it is one function that toggles the hiding/unhiding of the media based on usergroup permissons. Simply edit the ame_output template of your mobile style to be:

<a href="$ameinfo[url]" />$ameinfo[title]</a>

And there will be nothing for the js to do. If you do that, I would edit the mobiles ame_container template and delete all the HTML in it (so its an empty template)

That should do you fine.

I have a problem. When I activate the "Extract destination data" setting (required to make dailymotion to work), if the title has accentued letters in it, it will be shows in utf-8 encoded form. The mods lacks a utf8_decode() call somewhere. :(

Example :

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DIBGpG1Gy2g

Gives as title :
YouTube - BANDE SON -- Les sous doués passent le Bac

where it should have been
YouTube - BANDE SON -- Les sous dou?s passent le Bac

Fixed by adding utf8_decode() at the two returns in the ame_fetch_www_page function in includes/ame_bbcode.php

Are you actually using AME 2.5, because it looks to me like your height and width parameters are being stripped out? Your source code shows the height and width for your videos blank. That would only happen if you were using a 2.0- version of AME and the definitions for 2.5.

Only thing I can think of is to check your Height and Width global settings in the AME CP and make sure they aren't blank. Then resave your posts and see if the settings stick. If that doesn't work, then go into your media definition and in the Replacement HTML put brackets around each instance of the size variables. Remember that you'll probably have more than two each definition:

width="{$ameinfo[width]}" height="{$ameinfo[height]}"

Then resave the posts and see if that helps.

You appear to have something on your board that affects the content of posts, other than AME. The code is there if you look at the Source Code of your pages, but it's literally translating the Replacement HTML into ampersand commands (&lt; instead of < for example) and putting line breaks <br /> where there shouldn't be.

Hey Geek, I just noticed something odd on my installation. AME seems to be ignoring my character count settings passed 20, and clips them kind of short anywhere below that. Right now I have this set at 50: http://www.cogonline.net/forums/showpost.php?p=368980&postcount=8

Also, I don't know if this is really important or not, but I notice when merging posts, you have to re-edit to get the parsing.

[fly]

So, AME won't let me delete any definitions. I imported an update that DJ made for photobucket, but when I try to delete the old one - nothing happens. Any ideas?

[Drache]

Will this increase the server load? does it adds many queries?

Are you using $title or $aminfo[title]? $title wont get trimmed, the latter will.
Re: Merging, this makes sense if the post you merge into doesn't have ame in it, however it should work if the post you are merging to does (if that makes sense). Not sure it would be frequent enough to warrent the merge code, but will look into it!

Sounds like you may be using the file cache, but for whatever reason, the server can no longer write to the aminfo folder. Check chmod on the folder and its files. Alternatively, turn off the file cache.

Will this increase the server load? does it adds many queries?

AME is designed to have minimal footprint and won't increase load or queries on threads that contain no media. If you are using the file cache, there will be no additional queries when a post with AME appears, but load will increase slightly as the media definitions are loaded up into memory.

The more noticeable area for load with AME isn't really server load. If you are including media in a post that extracts destination data (i.e. a youtube video that extracts the destination pages title) then there will be a slight delay when you save the post as AME fetches the destination page and extracts the title. Obviously the more AME you have in a post, the longer this takes (i.e. if you put 10 videos in your post that all extract data, thats 10 pages AME will download while you are saving your post). Saying that, it is only when you save it. After that, its pretty much undetectable.

[Digital Jedi]

I'm using the $ameinfo[title]. Also, it's not abbreviating even in the container template, not just the definition. From what I've observed so far, it appears kind of random. In some cases it seems to be abbreviating fine and others it ignores or only works under a certain character count. It seems to be site by site.


Re: Merging, this makes sense if the post you merge into doesn't have ame in it, however it should work if the post you are merging to does (if that makes sense). Not sure it would be frequent enough to warrent the merge code, but will look into it!
You mean like if the earliest post already has an AME converted video in it, right? In the six cases I had to do a merge, all the posts had video. But I agree, I don't know if it's important enough to worry about, just thought I'd mention it. https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2009/09/9.png

Sizes are set globally, but individual definitions can be edited in the ACP to use their own set size. Definitions, however, are site specific, and that seldom means you can, let's just say for example, have a separate definition for YouTube and YouTube HD. It depends on the site, but in most cases, you'll have standard size for videos from a given site.

When I Create a Thread, or a New Post, or Edit a Thread, or Edit a New Post, (and go to the "Go Advanced" Editor, of course), on the First Displayed Page (newthread.php, newreply.php, editpost.php) the Option "Automatically embed media (requires automatic parsing of links in text to be on)." appears, but when I Click the "Preview Changes" Button the Option Dissapears, leaving only the other ones and unabling me to Unselect it for the URLs not to be Converted to Embedded Videos.

I'm Trying this Mod on my vB373 PL1 Test Forum.

Is Somebody Experiencing this Error Too, (on vB38x and vB37x)? :confused:

If so, what can I do to Correct it? :confused: What Should I Check and Change? :confused:

On the Version 2.2 this Error doesn't Happen, it Happened only on the Update to Verson 2.5.

My Best Regards.

I uninstalled this and now all the urls are showing ame instead of url. How can I change it back to url?
Never mind, I figured it out.

Edit: Nevermind. Found the problem.

[sevkotr]

can i change width and height of a vimeo video on any post?

such as: www.vimeo.com/videonumber width=600 height=200

[mickknutson]

I have RSS Feeds being posted to to:
http://www.blincmagazine.com/forum/news-feeds/

from many sources, like YouTube. When the RSS feed posts the initial thread, the video is NOT parsed like this one IS:
http://www.blincmagazine.com/forum/news-feeds/40604-human-bird.html

The URL is just blank.

Right now, I have 2 work-around's:

1. Edit the Posting in Advanced mode, then save the the post is parsed.

2. Run the AME tools to re-parse all my threads.

Neither of these solutions are good for me as I have many dozen postings every day, and can not manually keep up.

So, is there a way to automate this in my one News RSS forum?


Any help setting up the embed post tool as a CRON????

/forum/admincp/automediaembed_admin.php?do=rebuild&zone=post

But I need the next page to actually POST.

[AfterWorldForum]

After seeing some of my internal links messed up, I disabled those from the definitions.

What would be the proper procedure to have only those disabled definitions reverted back to their old format? I tried removing all tags, which had a nasty side-effect in that suddenly everything, including the youtube videos posted by my members was reverted back to plain links.

And no matter what I tried, I could not get them back into embedded mode again. The posts contained a properly formatted tag with the following format:

Title of the video on Youtube ("http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VIDID)


The only way I found I could fix it was by manually editing the posts, and replacing "title of the video on Youtube" with the url again.

Surely there must be a faster way to accomplish this?

Anyone?

Thanks in advance :)

[mmiddleton]

I uploaded AME, as instructed, and imported (via the VME CP) only the definitions that I want (Youtube, Vimeo) as well as a the .wmv and .mov definitions for locally hosted videos, and made the modifications, as indicated.

When I post the url for the video, it simply shows up as a link. HOWEVER, if I type in the code with the url it works for vimeo and youtube, but not for locally hosted videos.

I've checked and rechecked each of the files in the forums directory, and can't find any errors. Any suggestions?

[mmiddleton]

Update: Locally hosted .wmv's are now working when the tags are manually added, as long as the link includes the http:// in the url. It's still not automatically converting the defined url's, though. Still looking for a possible cause, if anybody has an answer.

With non default AME definitions, you need to speak to the person who wrote the definition. If youtube links are not showing up, it is most likely a validation problem. Make sure the video you are linking to allows external embedding.

As per the read me and troubleshooting, its best to post examples, but please only post examples of default definition problems in this thread to keep things nice n tidy :)

If you delete or disable a definition but still have AME installed, the old definitions should default to URLs. The only time you should need to revert AME to URL tags is if you are totally uninstalling the product.

Is there anyway to make this parse links on FORUMHOME ? I want to put a video on my FORUMHOME and not sure how to do it, i will be changing the video regularly.

Not specifically. Why not just use HTML there?

I've just installed this and it's stopped my private messages from working! I get a notification of a PM and who it's from but when I click on the link to read the PM in comes up with a blank page. Any idea why this has happened? I tried uninstalling it and I could read my PM's fine again.

Please help! :confused:

Cant really understand how that could happen unless its a conflict with another mod. Saying that, this is one of the most installed 3.8 mods and I havent heard of this before. Check your servers error logs :(

Lately, when posted, all YouTube videos are showing up twice, with the some code in-between, as in

[The Geek]

We are in need of the functionality of the vbGoogleMap add-on and I tried installing a few times and finding some work-arounds but, at the end of the day, it does NOT work with AME installed.

Has this issue been addressed before I uninstall it and buy Passive Video???

I havent heard of any issues before and not sure why this would cause a problem, but I suppose its plausible :)

If I get time I will look into it when I get back, but that wont be for at least a week.

Try DJ's add on thread. But not sure what kind of auto embed you can do for word documents?

Far be it from me to disagree since you're the author, but it seems to me like that indicates that it's a problem with the actual mod, rather than with the definition, since it's not automatically converting the url to ame.

Youtube, Vimeo and local definitions are showing up, but ONLY if I manually add the [ame] tags around the url. In other words, it's not doing this: smartly scans new and edited posts for URLs from a customisable variety of web sites (i.e. YouTube or Amazon or about 200 others). If it finds a match, AME will 'transform' the URL into inline embedded media without your users ever having to even think about it.

I appreciate your feedback, and my apologies if I'm misunderstanding the process of how the mods and definitions interact.

[ericgtr]

For some reason this has stopped working on my board, not sure why but it will either just show up as a URL or it looks like this in the post:

Again, AME doesnt do .wmv's, vimeo, etc... out of the box. If you are having an issue with those definitions, go ask the author in the add on post.

I posted the potential problem with youtube, it sounds like the validation is failing. As per the readme and troubleshooting, it sure helps to have examples of the video and screenshots of the result.

I checked and I only have the two default definitions of youtube and Amazon, all else should also be default since I completely re-installed.

By the looks of its, its a mod that is hooking into URLs for one reason or another (usually to track outbound links or to add rel="nofollow"). That is conflicting with AME

[The Geek]

I don't use them, but would assume its about as good as can get. You will need to edit the definition to include your affiliate code though, but that should be a quick one off.

[The Ayatollah]

When uploading the files, I am not entirely clear on which folder to choose to FTP.
1) the "upload" folder
2) The "forums" folder
3) the contents of the "forums" folder

Also, if you don't have a "forums" directory, where else would be appropriate to upload to?

[MagicThemeParks]

The Ayatollah,

If you don't have a 'forums' directory, simply use the root directory. You'll notice the files within the 'forums' folder should correspond to what is in your root.

Does it work with 3.8.4?

[Saviour]

Not sure if I'll get a response to this, since this mod appears to be un-supported, but will anyway...just in case.

Anyway, I use this mod...and it's great. I've run into one small issue, though. I have another mod installed that allows a person to list their PC Specs in a drop-down box...however, this dropdown menu is hidden by the player in a post.

Now...I know I can edit the <object> tag in order to fix this, but for the life of me can't find where to edit it.

Does anyone know how to resolve this...or can they point me in the right direction? I certainly would appreciate it.

It works with 3.8.4 patch level 1, i followed the instructions and it works.

Not into the feed, I think I have the same question.

I have an RSS plugin that will watch a feed, then create a post in a thread automatically.

The subsequent post isn't parsed by AME because it gets posted by a job that runs every 30 minutes.

If I edit then save the post, its parsed correctly.

Any thoughts to a workaround?

[elroger]

When I put a link like: [url] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nBiGrHc0Xy4 [/ url]

How do I fix?, (I have disabled the url's in the forum) and I want the url off, it continues to detect: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nBiGrHc0Xy4 but not using [url]. .. [/ url].

I need help!

I have -- vBulletin 3.8.4.

In my definitions, I have only YouTube. When I post a YouTube link, it does not convert to video embed.

I have cache set to on. But, when I look in /amecache/ameinfo.php and findonly.php, it still has Amazon codes (which I deleted in definitions, but they still appear here)! And, these files don't show any YouTube code! What is the deal?

How do I get this working?


Did I upload files to the right categories? Yes.
Did I chmod folder /amecache/? Yes.
Is the path to /amecache/ correct? Yes.
Are usergroup settings for AME set to Yes? Yes.
Is Setting 'Disable New Items' turned to No? Yes.
Is the definition for YouTube active? Yes.
What is the regex for your YouTube definition?

[http://]*[a-z]*?[\.]?youtube\.[a-z]*?/watch\?v=([A-Z0-9._%-]*)[&\w;=\+_\-]*


Never mind! I got it. It seems though my folder was chmoded 777, I had to also chmod ameinfo.php and findinfo.php to 777 also.

There is also an empty file named index.html that caused a major problem for me. It conflicted with the index.php file and was sending the site to a blank page. Easy to fix, once the problem was found, but did result in "I can't get on the site" e-mails. Oh yeah, still not working either.

No this will not work in vB4, however someone posted that the 1.2 version works in vB4. Saying that, I would 'hold on' as I am just evaluating how to port this to vB4. It isn't straight forward as vB4 has a video bbcode system that I will be trying to hook into. I suspect it shouldn't be too hard to do and could have a solution as early as this week.

Sounds like you uploaded the mod to the wrong file location. The only blank index is in the amecahce folder which shouldnt stop anything on the site.

AME needs to check the text before it gets saved. Check the plugins and you will see how AME gets called when posts or blogs and such get saved.

Hello, I'm an 8th grade teacher who uses tutorial videos within forum postings for my students.

I've been successful getitng a pencast (livescribe) into my forum (you can't download actual files for the pencasts, you have to put in an XML refererence within the embed code)

The regular expression I'm using is:

http://[\w]*[\.]*mywebsite\.[\w/&;%-\.]+/([\d\w]+)(?:.*)

I did it this way so when I use $p1 I can just type in http://www.mywebsite/xmlfilename without using the extension because an extenstion like .mp4 will mess things up (as I'm referencing an XML file. However, the above expression is going to try and embed anything now that has 'mywebsite' domain in the URL.

Is there anyway that I can set $p1 or $p2, etc so it only grabs the filename (as an example, if I had video.mp4, it only grabs video to put in for $p1 instead of video.mp4 -- I don't want the .mp4 or whatever extension included in $p1). I need some kind of extension so AME only embeds the appropriate links. I've tried everything, and even went to http://www.regexbuddy.com and I got to the point that the above expression sets $p1 without the extension, but now everything embeds.

Help please. My 8th grades will be very appreciative, and me too :)

[The Geek]

Help please. My 8th grades will be very appreciative, and me too :)

lol. Play my heart strings!

TBH, I couldn't really follow what you are trying to do. If you can provide actual examples of what users would type/paste in and what the site should show (embed code wise) I can see what I can do ;)

[cliffhanger]

:)

Here's the replacement embed code that I'm using

<object height="316" width="228" align="middle" id="myFlashContent3" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"><param value="http://www.livescribe.com/media/swf/pencastPlayer.swf?path=http://www.livescribe.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/LDApp.woa/wa/flashXML?xml=$p1" name="movie" /><param value="high" name="quality" /><param value="true" name="allowfullscreen" /> <object height="316" width="228" align="middle" data="http://www.livescribe.com/media/swf/pencastPlayer.swf?path=http://www.livescribe.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/LDApp.woa/wa/flashXML?xml=$p1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"><param value="high" name="quality" /><param value="true" name="allowfullscreen" /> <a href="http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer"><img alt="Get Adobe Flash player" src="http://www.adobe.com/images/shared/download_buttons/get_flash_player.gif" /></a></object></object>

I have $p1 as a replacement, and the following text gets put in for $p1

0000C0A80116000009C5920D00000124F67ECAA959F4B88C

and that's it. There's no typical filename like .mp4 or .flv. So the actual code after the $p1 is replaced looks like:

<object height="316" width="228" align="middle" id="myFlashContent3" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"><param value="http://www.livescribe.com/media/swf/pencastPlayer.swf?path=http://www.livescribe.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/LDApp.woa/wa/flashXML?xml=0000C0A80116000009C5920D00000124F67EC AA959F4B88C" name="movie" /><param value="high" name="quality" /><param value="true" name="allowfullscreen" /> <object height="316" width="228" align="middle" data="http://www.livescribe.com/media/swf/pencastPlayer.swf?path=http://www.livescribe.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/LDApp.woa/wa/flashXML?xml=0000C0A80116000009C5920D00000124F67EC AA959F4B88C" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"><param value="high" name="quality" /><param value="true" name="allowfullscreen" /> <a href="http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer"><img alt="Get Adobe Flash player" src="http://www.adobe.com/images/shared/download_buttons/get_flash_player.gif" /></a></object></object>

The problem is when I had the regular expression as

(http://[\w]*[\.]*mysite\.[\w/&;%-\.]+\.mp4) I could write 0000C0A80116000009C5920D00000124F67ECAA959F4B88C.m p4 even though it's not really an mp4 file, the $p1 includes the .mp4 extension. This way I can specify which linkes get embedded with a dummy .mp4 extension. But if I leave the regular expression as

http://[\w]*[\.]*mysite\.[\w/&;%-\.]+/([\d\w]+)(?:.*) $p1 replaces correctly as 0000C0A80116000009C5920D00000124F67ECAA959F4B88C but then every link that has my domain name in it tries to get embedded. I just need a way to set $p1 or have a $p2 so I can have the correct xml reference put in (like 0000C0A80116000009C5920D00000124F67ECAA959F4B88C)

I hope that makes more sense. If you'd rather me message you privately with my actual site name for my students, I can do that, but I don't want to say it here publicly since it's a site closed to the public only for my students and for their school work and tutorial videos.

Thanks!

To further clarify my previous post, I think really all I need help with is setting up the regular expression formula:

Either

http://[\w]*[/url][\.]*mysite\.[\w/&;%-\.]+/([\d\w]+)(?:.*)

or

http://[\w]*[/url][\.]*mysite\.[\w/&;%-\.]+\.mp4)

to have a second backreference (on how to do that) so I can use $p2. I've tried altering the formula many times, and so far nothing seems to be working.

Thanks,

Tim

I think I finally figured it out. I must have finally put the right symbol by trial and error into my regular expression. The following works in order for me to get a livescribe pencast correctly embedded:

http://[\w]*[\.]*mysite\.[\w/&;%-\.]+/([\d\w]+)\.live

The .live is just a dummy extension so I'm able to identify which links are livescribe video pencasts. Thanks for your offering to help earlier -- I think I have it all figured out now.

Is there any way to make the container re-sizable to a greater width and height by pressing a collapse button in the corner?

This hack has stopped working since yesterday, seems like it needs to be updated for new Youtube settings.

Yeah, I can also confirm the hack has stopped parsing all YouTube links since yesterday -- it simply shows the url with the "External Embedding Not Available" title on all links (regardless whether external embedding has been enabled or not.)

Maybe something changed with YouTube's 1080p rollout?
