AME3 - Auto Media Embeding and Video Extender

[Chuk]

Thanks for developing this mod, which is really great.

But I have one problem when using it
When there is a link in a post like this http://www.google.com/search?rlz=1C1CHOT_enAM350AM351&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8&q=vbulletin, and afterwards the post is quoted, in the quoted post there appear unnecessary symbols like "/".

The same post is normally quoted when AME 3 is disabled.

You can see this behavior here in my forum (http://www.akumb.am/showthread.php?50866-AME-3-testing)

Also I have noticed that this problem doesn't appear with all links, but I can't figure out this special cases.
Can you please have a look at this, and provide some help.

[The Geek]

Doesn't work for me.

I have it in there and the checkbox is checked to parse it into video. Youtube is defined and it's a new post that was done after installing AME so it's not a matter of rebuilding posts. It's simply not doing anything to the youtube link.

Did you make the change outlined in the installation instructions to the required hook?

Hi Geek,

I am having problems with the installation on VB4 Patch 2, I have followed your instructions to the letter... well, I think I did... and it is not showing up as it was before..

For example this post showed it as an embedded video when it was vB3.8, now it isn't...

http://forum.landrovernet.com/showthread.php?184466-Landrover-Films

Tried a few times now going over the instructions again, just to make sure, including editing the files again as per the instructions... and still the same result... not sure if they have changed something somewhere else or I have not switched something else on or switched it off...

[The Geek]

That link is borked. For some odd reason you have [/url[url] going on. Thats just wrong. Are other posts doing that? Was that a conversion from AME2x?

[Lighting90]

Yep, they are, and was an upgrade from 2.0, not sure what happened, but even new links just put in give the video tag and still no embedding.

Though I am slowly working through the system, so I may have missed something

[InfoAddict]

I too have the same problem - vb4 upgrade from vb3 and previous version of AME.

I then upgraded to AME3 and did a convert on my posts to change all ame= to the below video format.

For instance - check this page:

http://dev.gamers-underground.com/media-centre/32193-nintendo-64-kid-nearly-meets-his-match.html

This is the code for the link:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=apWrS2uPBTg

Only thing I can think of is that I left the vb3 version installed when I did the upgrade.

I have removed the link from the hook xml file - it just doesn't seem to kick in.

[Chuk]

Ill see if I can replicate and fix tomorrow.

The problem was solved after deleting the following string in ame_prep.php file:
$text = preg_replace('%(\[(quote|php|html|code|nomedia)([^\]]*)\](.*?)\[/(\2)\])%sime', '$this->substitute(\'\1\', $this->_subbed)', $text);
May I leave this file without that string?

[Cface]

Mine doesn't work :\
"This product is not compatible with version 4.0.0 Beta 4 of vBulletin. (Compatible starting with 4.0.0)"
And i don't have a includes/xml/hooks_vbcms.xml file.

[Lighting90]

@ The Geek

Just to let you know, I can post a video with the video tags and it embeds okay, I assume that is the vB version as it is fairly basic...

[The Geek]

Mine doesn't work :\
"This product is not compatible with version 4.0.0 Beta 4 of vBulletin. (Compatible starting with 4.0.0)"
And i don't have a includes/xml/hooks_vbcms.xml file.

You can edit the includes/product-ame.xml product and remove this line:

<dependency dependencytype="vbulletin" minversion="4.0.0" maxversion="" />

You don't have to do the hook edit if you don't have hooks_vbcms.xml

HTHs

May I leave this file without that string?

Yes, you can comment out that line in the meantime. Its job is to prevent auto embedding videos within quote blocks and such. However it isn't overly useful yet simply because it isn't stripping out videos from that spot either. Comment it out for now and Ill try to resolve the bug in the next build.

[meissenation]

I'm a doofus - disregard about it not working. I didn't see the edit and save of the plugin. Funny how you have to edit the plugin and then hit save? Either way - works now.

[The Geek]

I too have the same problem - vb4 upgrade from vb3 and previous version of AME.

I have removed the link from the hook xml file - it just doesn't seem to kick in.

Did you then save the AME hook? As to the code above, that looks correct to me. Running the conversion tool will convert old AME bbcode into URLs which can be converted to video codes. If you edit that first post which is just an youtube link, does it embed the video or not?

[Lighting90]

Right, I can get the video embedding to work only in the admin forum, editing the post I put up earlier it doesn't work... I have added a post after it with the same link, and not working, also tried in another part of the forum, also not working...

Is there any permissions I should go and look at...:confused:

[The Geek]

nope. All AME3 does is look to see if you have a video in your URL tags. If do, its changes the url tag to a video tag. Nothin too fancy. Most of AME's key features are the ability to manage and import/export definitions through the admincp.

Yes - I even then disabled it and re-enabled it. I then uninstalled the product and re-installed it.

Editing that post doesn't fix it neither does a new post.

Still no go.

I know a bit of PHP, is there some way I can insert some debug code to see if it's starting or not?

EDIT: I just turned on vb's debug mode and the hook "data_preparse_bbcode_video_start" isn't called at all.

[The Geek]

Then follow the steps again. It isn't being called because they put that hook in the wrong section of the hooks_vbcms.xml file. Deleting it means that next time the cache of hooks is saved (via savinga hook) it will build correctly. See the link in the first post to the bug tracker.

[Delilahs]

Does this also do VShare ?

[Lighting90]

nope. All AME3 does is look to see if you have a video in your URL tags. If do, its changes the url tag to a video tag. Nothin too fancy. Most of AME's key features are the ability to manage and import/export definitions through the admincp.

Arh, thanks, that makes it a lot clearer, so it is something else wrong then as I have the video tags... it's just not emebedding the video's. So This means I need to have a good look through the forum settings.... I must have messed something up somewhere.. :) (Not unusual for me....)

[Birute]

Love it, thanks. It worked great!!! :)

There are some posts with just the url for the youtube video without any tags around the url, any suggestions on how to convert these to tagged url's without spending hours on editing each post then running the rebuild?

AFAIK there isn't a defintiion for vshare out.

[Lighting90]

Just an update, and useful for anyone else who has a similar problem, it turns out that for some reason, when we upgraded the forum, it switched the IMG code option off on all the forums that had it on and the ones which had it off suddenly had it on... :rolleyes:

So we have it sorted now... many thanks for the help...

(Next Gars.... ;) ... )

[The Geek]

Good luck with Gars, not sure if Morgan is upgrading it or not. Personally I think it would be a freaking massive workload to pull off.

Thanks for sharing the solution!

[Stryker412]

Geek, I just installed AME on my test vb4 server. I made a post with Youtube, Vimeo, and Hulu to see how it worked.

Youtube and Vimeo worked fine just posting the links, but not Hulu. I had to manually edit the post and add the [video] tags then it worked.

[The Geek]

thanks for the heads up. Can you give me the link that was borking out for you?

[Sascha108]

Hmm, I installed AME without problems and removed the hook. but nothing happens. Any idea what else to do?

This is the page in the CMS:

http://issaforum.snake-style.org/content.php?30-ISSA-Videos

[jaffaman]

I think its because you are using this link on the top video....

http://www.youtube.com/user/IpTaiChi#p/u/1/300fvly1mXA

Try using this link m8 its on the share tab of the video as the above is the users link.

Try using this link on the second video.

[Abo Al-Waleed]

is this add-ons working with VB 3.8.3?/

[Digital Jedi]

is this add-ons working with VB 3.8.3?/
The 3.8 version does. This is the 4.0 version.

[Sushubh]

and we are supposed to use the definitions from the 3.8 section?

[The Geek]

No, those are specific to AME2.5x

[Sushubh]

mmm so where are the definitions for this version for vb4? i am missing something i guess!

[The Geek]

AME is designed to allow users to create, modify and share definitions with one another. AMR3 comes supporting all of the sites vB4 supports and there have been a couple others released in this thread. Whether other users start to create and share more is up to the community, I suspect DJ (who has done ~180 definitions for AME2x) will most likely take the lead on porting many of his over, but until then its up to the community.

[Sushubh]

ah alright thanks! i was trying to import the old ones but of course it did not work out... :) i would try to see if i can make my own for the services that are popular on the forum.

[ericgtr]

Thanks for the update, I have a question regarding embeded MP3 attachments, I would like those to play inline in this version. Does this do that and if so can you direct me on how to implement it?

[Digital Jedi]

One more quick question, Geek. When creating a def through the AME CP you get some empty closed off tags on creation of the XML. e.g. <regex_scrape /> Do those tags need to be there when I create the XML from scratch?

Oh yeah, what was that about semicolons again?

[ToNetU]

why i have to rebuild posts [AME CP > tools] each time i post video link?
i think it should convert automatically after i post the video link without rebuilding it via AME CP?

am the only one who has this issue or it works like this!? [wierd]

thanks for this Mod. Geek

[The Geek]

Why on earth would you need to do that? Did you follow the installation instructions to edit your hook?

[KURTZ]

hi Geek, i've a trouble when i try to cache the ame ... i got this:

Warning: dir(/cache/) [function.dir]: failed to open dir: No such file or directory in [path]/includes/ame_cache.php on line 95


also i tried to leave blank (obviously i've cmodded 777 the ame folder)

Cannot write to . Check permissions on folder. File caching disabled until resolved.

Cool mod, great work as usual Mr. Geek...I cannot get Hulu to work at all and Metacafe will work if I use tool>rebuild. I read and re-read this thread and the manual and can't see why it would not work. I have a clean install, running 4.0.0, and did the edit of includes/xml/hooks_vbcms.xml.

My question is this, in the title post after that you say "And save. Then Edit the plugin titled: AME - Auto Convert URLs. And click save." What do we edit in that plugin?

2- import the xml file from the server.
3- delete: <hook>data_preparse_bbcode_video_start</hook> from includes/xml/hooks_vbcms.xml file!
4- rebuild posts.
done!

after that when i rebuilt posts the mod works fine but after i post another video link [youtube] i have to do the rebuild posts again because it shown the link not the video!

thanks! hope you can help me with this!

Looks like you missed the step of going into the AME - Auto Convert URLs.

It's in the instructions, so it's probably pretty important.

[team76]

hello

Where is the product XML file?

[The Geek]

includes/product-ame.xml as per the readme.

[KURTZ]

what about my trouble? :)

[The Geek]

Sorry, you hadn't clicked install so I figured you had removed it.

The error is telling you that you have turned on file caching and given a path for the file cache that either doesn't exist or is not writeable (i.e. chmodded 0777 as per the readme).

HTHs

[KURTZ]

i haven't clicked 'install' cause right now i'm playing with my testing board ... :) but i'll use your hack for sure :P

anyways, i cmodded 777 the 'ame' folder ... but i can't cache the files ... (i also tried to create a new folder called 'cache' in the 'ame' folder - also 777 - but nothing to do ... any tip?

another question: what about the old features Geek? have you planned something?

[The Geek]

Then you need to double check the setting for the file cache. It needs to be the full path to the ame folder. That error is from a test I run to see if AME can write to the folder - she is saying she can't.

What other features are you after? For the most part vB4 + AME3 gives you about the same feature set as AME2.5x. As far as definitions, I seldom do those and leave it to the community to do (though its generally DJ that ends up doing them all :D )

in the vB4 in the settings menu ive only the cache option, instead in the vB3 i've all the features ... i mean this ...

however, i just put all the path not only the folder, and it seems to be correct, but when i go to the 'tools' menu and i click 'update cache' i've this 'could not find phrase ame saved'

if you need i can give you an admin account so you can see averything onto my testing board ... :)

[The Geek]

The missing phrase is a known issue and only cosmetic so I have't bothered to update the package as it doesn't affect anything.

As to the other ame2.5x settings, the options really wouldn't work with vB4.

@Chicken - if you want someone to write a custom definition for you, you are best posting the request with a few different URLs and their embed code as examples to work from.

Edit the definitions you want to change (the embed code). This will change all instances of that definition except for those posts that vB has in its cache (if you have it on). Turn it off and/or rebuild the last weeks worth of posts or what not.

@Chicken - if you want someone to write a custom definition for you, you are best posting the request with a few different URLs and their embed code as examples to work from.

so no content box and resize for the vB4? :(

[The Geek]

@Kurt: Nope. There isn't the ability to override vB4's way of displaying the output. You could technically add container code around the output of the bbcode_video template, but it will get overwritten when vB or AME rebuilds the template. Furthermore vB only puls 1 parameter from offsite so you wouldn't be able to pull the title in like AME2.x
Sizes are also limited as vB hard codes these into the embed code, but gets around some of these limitations via CSS. So technically you can override the size via teh CSS technique (this is how AME'fy does it).

@Chicken: This is why I avoid getting into custom definitions. It over takes your life and these aren't always quick and easy to do. Saying that I did one for you but noticed an AME bug in the process that I will need to fix before I release it.

I've just checked 4.0.1 and all is fine here that I can see. They even fixed the hook_vbcms.xml bug. Can you try a reinstall?

[The Geek]

I have updated the package which takes care of a missing phrase and a potential bug rebuilding templates.

Upgrade as normal by replacing all files and reimporting the product xml.

Note that I am going ahead and releasing as completed as the only real issue was the 4.0.0 bug mentioned in the OP. Since that is now taken care of, I can't really think of anything else to do with it.

Note that upgrading vB MAY replace your custom definitions. If that is the case, use the AME CP > Tools > Restore option thats what its there for! Just note that option restores your definitions up to the last time you saved one. IMO its always a good idea to export your definitions as a backup anyway.

with the 4.0.1 and the older version, no troubles here :)

[VonDoom]

BTW: For those of you that haven't tried the AMEfy addon... you really should. I think it seriously rocks

thats an understatement. it freaking rocks ba**s :D

[Doctor Death]

Did VB 4.0.1 get rid of the

<hook>data_preparse_bbcode_video_start</hook>

issue or does that file still need to be edited???

Thanks, great mod.

[The Geek]

Yup. You only need to do that on versions pre 4.0.1

[Doctor Death]

Excellent news, thank you!

[ShawnV]

thats an understatement. it freaking rocks ba**s :D

Agreed, now if we could only get some "Music Playlist" definitions. :D

[Chicken Racer]

The Geek ...you rock , thanks awesome ...works great. I owe you!

Geek, I reinstalled and posting works with this mod now. However Youtube and Metacafe seem to work, can't get Viemo, Google, Facebook, or Hulu to convert...it only shows the links.

Any suggestions?

[InfoAddict]

Same here still.

It manages to create the correct code when a YouTube link is posted:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NvlbAItBdK4

But just displays it as a link:

http://gamers-underground.com/media-centre/32320-hubble-3d-imax-trailer-released.html

So it's like half working - just not the good half :)

[The Geek]

But vtx just said youtube was working? THat link works for me? If you edit and save does it work?

[fishmaster]

....... ......... .........

[The Geek]

sure

[The Geek]

Peeps, also make sure that your post options to convert URLs and also to convert videos is on.

[VTXCafe.com]

Peeps, also make sure that your post options to convert URLs and also to convert videos is on.

You are talking about the two check boxes in the posting area? If so they are checked by default. In my case the mod is working but just for a few of the services...any ideas?

[The Geek]

You need to post URLs that aren't working. IIRC there was also a bug in vB4 where the automatically convert URLs wasn't always ticked.

[VTXCafe.com]

Here is one that will not convert:

http://www.vimeo.com/hd#8677818

[The Geek]

The problem is that vB4 won't parse that. I am assuming it is in a different format than vB4 expects.

If it won't work via the video popup box, it won't work with AME3. A custom definition or altered one will have to be made.

[Digital Jedi]

It's the pound symbol added to the HD links. I doubt the default definition accounted for that, as I never even noticed it when I did the custom one for 2.5. And I spent quite a while on Vimeo checking for alternate URLs.

[movslow]

Just upgraded the forum to 4.0.1, and upgraded AME as well to the lastest version, seems good so far.
:up:

[InfoAddict]

Peeps, also make sure that your post options to convert URLs and also to convert videos is on.

How do I check this?

How do I check this?
Right below your text editor.

[InfoAddict]

This post:

http://gamers-underground.com/media-centre/32320-hubble-3d-imax-trailer-released.html

Did not have auto-convert-videos ticked. I ticked it - still no go.

I then removed the link (and it's associated encoding) and reposted it and saved it with the auto-convert-video ticked. It redid the code part:

[video=youtube;NvlbAItBdK4]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NvlbAItBdK4

But as you can see still displays it as a link rather than an embed.

[The Geek]

I downloaded a fresh 4.0.1 and the exact version of AME uploaded here and installed. Pasted that link and its fine.

If you are getting the video code like above, AME is doing her 'thing'. AME3 takes what WAS a link in a [url] tag and puts it in the correct video tag for vB4 to process. AME3 no longer does the actual parsing.

Can you check your bbcode_video template to ensure that there is the correct youtube dembed code in there?

[InfoAddict]

Here is the relevant section for YouTube:


<vb:elseif condition="$provider == 'youtube'" />
<object class="restrain" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="540" height="325" data="http://www.youtube.com/v/{vb:raw code}">

If there are any brave souls out there willing to give this a try, here's a BETA version of my Master XML. But it's COMPLETELY untested. If it imports okay for you, then I'll go ahead and start a new mod thread and we can troubleshoot anything else from there.

Just remember, I don't have vB 4 installed, so I'll need feedback once the new thread is started to sort these things out.

[TyPenn613]

I followed the instructions and everything seems to be correct except my video links don't automatically code themselves.

I took out the line of code, edit the AME and click save. No errors or anything, but no results either. Am I missing something?

[SemperFideles]

I first want to say thank you as I don't want you to believe I am ungrateful for this hack. When I upgraded to v4.0.1, AME still works but I am now receiving a very odd problem related to the Report Post feature of the board.

I reported this as a bug and it could not be reproduced: http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/project.php?issueid=35302

I then disabled all my plugins and the "bug" went away. I proceeded to disable all plugins one at a time and narrowed it down to AME causing the problem.

Without having to go to the link provided, if a user reports a post in which something is surrounded in quotes as "p's" and "q's" then when the reported post appears in the Reported Post forum, escape characters are being inserted.

For instance. If a user reports a post that contains:

Mind your "p's" and "q's"

It comes out in Reported Posts as

Mind your \"p's\" and \"q's\"

I don't know why AME would interfere with the Reported Post feature but, as I stated, if I disable the plugin, then the problem goes away. In the grand scheme of bugs, it is an annoyance but one I hope you can fix.

Uploaded, installed and then tried an Amazon link and it didn't work. The link was gone once I saved.

[The Geek]

I think I know what may be causing the issue you mentioned and AME3 is most likely the culprit. I will look into best way to resolve and let you know and/or update the package.

HTHs

[Digital Jedi]

Uploaded, installed and then tried an Amazon link and it didn't work. The link was gone once I saved.
But the file did import okay? Alright, then, I just wanted to make sure it would actually go through first. If it at least a couple of other people can verify they had a successful import, I'll go ahead and start a new thread and handle more specific support questions there, so we don't clog the main AME thread with definition specific questions. Thanks.

[jaffaman]

Trying on a test site and the DJ's Master XML (AME 3) did import ok the test site is running vBulletin? Version 4.0.1

I will try and go through whats working and whats not :) Thanks for your hard work :)

[SemperFideles]

But the file did import okay?
Just to confirm: Yes, the xml imported properly and all the definitions were available.

[albrens]

Good works.

Thanks a lot.

I installed DJ's definitions and i had the problem so i reset definitions and i was still getting the problem so i uninstalled AME3 through the installed products and then re-imported the product-ame.xml and now i can post a youtube link ok and it works as it shoud.

[Digital Jedi]

Hrm, other than the definition for playlists, my Master didn't have a YouTube definition. Geek, I think I may have left out the <provider> tag in the XML. Could that have caused the issue? I forgot I had to go in and add those manually.

[Albasoul]

I have upgraded from an older version that used tags [ media ] [ / media ]. How do I convert the old tags to new ones by using the tool that you provide?

Your help is greatly appreciated.

[SAUR0N]

AME3 is generating this bug

[The Geek]

Was already noted with workaround posted. Updated package anyway. Upgrade as normal.

[SAUR0N]

thank you

[InfoAddict]

Still no luck here. Any further progress on finding the source of this issue? I'm not sure if I've noted it before, but the embeds work fine with the CMS, just not forums.

[The Geek]

You can paste a youtube link in a CMS page and it parses but if you paste that exact same link in a post it doesn't?

Can you share a link as an example?

[movslow]

Was already noted with workaround posted. Updated package anyway. Upgrade as normal.

nJoy :)

Quick comment.

It would be nice if you provided a list of the upgrades and what changed in your summary on the beginning of each page.

It's easy for the users to look at that summary, and see what has changed and what hasn't.

v1.5 - yada yada
v1.0 - blah blah

[SwollenCranium]

Lame ..

( I should pay closer attention ... )

[InfoAddict]

Well, I've finally worked out why my site wasn't working. After trawling through this thread I saw a reference to [IMG] tags being turned off.

We turned off our image tags a while back to force everyone to upload images rather than linking to them.

I turned [IMG] tags back on on all the forums and the embed code now displays and works perfectly. Maybe this is something that can be added to your FAQ.

As a side issue to that, we now have [IMG] tags forced back on :) Is there a way to separate the embedding of videos with images or are we stuck with things this way thanks to vb4?

This is an issue with vB4. For whatever dumb reason vB4 will only parse video bbcode as long as you have the post set to parse images.

He was also complaining about trawling through posts to find the changelog. After I pointed out it was in the second post I guess he edited his post.

You can change the dimensions of the videos via the definitions embed setting. However if you wanted to change it depending on if it was HD or not - well, that is a little trickier as I think it would require another definition.

PS - please click install.

You'll have to wait for the next new set, or develop some on your own if you can. I can't give an ETA at the moment, because I usually underestimate.

Looks like the basics are already there, and I can keep my members happy with that for the time being. We're a really small board, so I don't think they used a quarter of the definitions that are there in my v3.8.4 current board.

Thanks for all the great work. :up: This has to be one of the most-used vB hacks of all time. You and Geek should be quite proud. :)

2- Make sure the automatically convert videos option is ticked
3- click install

This isn't as easy as you would think - but a definition could conceivably catch most of them.

I then installed your mod on another upgrade of V4 to a different domain but for the life of me I cannot get the code to display on the forum.
The other codes such as Youtube ,Vimeo all work with the mod but not the code created by The Geek. Yes it does work on another forum ....any ideas what I need to do ?

I had asked earlier about adding support for any type of locally hosted media files and was hoping to check back with you now that it is out of Beta. I have a series of videos to help out medical students that I would like to host myself and stream on page. I am not particular about what codec or software I use. I really appreciate your work as I can tell everyone does here, you have been to recommended mod over and over.

I could take a look during beta, but can't promise anything. I normally like to keep definition requests and releases out of the main AME release page as it can get quite unruly.

Hey Geek,

is an example embed code they gave me. Trying to have AME3 detect youtube video -> push into the JW player -> output into threads.

The main reason i want to use JW player OVER the youtube player - is the ability to run pre-roll / post roll advertisements that are controlled within my site.

If it's a first time install, I agree - read the instructions. But it seemed stupid to download an additional 2mb install file just to be told what we already know when upgrading... upload new files, import product, click "Overwrite" tada. Touche though... I was moreso jabbing at the fact that this is the only mod I've ever installed (and I've installed at least a hundred...) that has to hide the product file inside the upload folder instead of putting it outside of the upload folder. :)

[kall]

I see it more as 'the only mod to take advantage of a feature that would otherwise remain entirely unused'. :)

It works anywhere post BB Code does. But if your character code is set to cut off at a certain number of characters, it will truncate the embed code, too.

[lebanon]

Just an update ..
I went back to the original vb code and updated
bbcode_vb XML and the bbcode video template with the same regex...
The local wmv now work fine when using video bbcode tag..
So i re-activated your hack, once again now both work
With inserting video bbcode or without it, since your hack is wrapping the video bbcode successfuly and doing its job.

However am just curious, why wouldnt it work since its already loading as a hook before the post unless i manually added the html code to the bbcode template !

There isn't an amazon definition that comes with this mod. Check with wherever you got the definition from.

Anyone have luck with a working playlist.com "playlist" definition for this mod yet?

I worked hard at playlist for the AMEfy addon and cannot make it work with vB's video system.

I think all the other questions are related to custom definitions, which sadly I don't have time to do so will leave to the community :)

[The Geek]

I was moreso jabbing at the fact that this is the only mod I've ever installed (and I've installed at least a hundred...) that has to hide the product file inside the upload folder instead of putting it outside of the upload folder. :)

This isn't exactly true

All vB addons always store the product-xml in the includes/xml folder. I just started following suit. But if you were upgrading, then you already had the readme and already imported the product once so you knew where it was. That is, unless you were upgrading from 2.5x. In that case the readme contains important information that you should read about upgrading in the first place. Either way, you didn't read the readme and want to complain about it.

Sheesh ;)

He's referring to that test Master XML I posted here a while back. A couple of folks reported that bug. I've got vB 4 installed on my demo board, so I hope to have better working definitions for this version here in a few weeks.

[The Geek]

gotcha. Thanks DJ :)

[MoRa GFX]

Not exactly sure how to make it work, I'm on 4.0.1, and just added all of the files, is that it?

[testbot]

[TCB]

I thought with a previous version of this mod, you were able to set different sizes for the videos to be parsed? That way links to videos in a signature were shown nice and small, while in a topic they could be the normal size.

Is that feature coming back? If not, how can I disable this mod from parsing youtube links in signatures to fullsize videos?

You were, however all video parsing was previously done by AME. Now its handled by vB and there is currently no way to parse differently depending on the section. Saying that, I assume you could use some CSS much in the way I do for AME'fy or vB uses for the preview part of the CMS.

Hi

I just installed it on vb 4.0.2, it does work on threads in forum, but it doesnt work on cms.
I just added this code "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZLVtAZQixOA" to an article, but after I save and publish the code is changed to "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZLVtAZQixOA"
but the video doesnt appear in article preview, but it does appear inside article, in article preview it shows the link to the video though.

I have done everything according to manual, please tell me howto fix this in cms as well.

If the URL is vhanged to the [VIDEO] code as above, then AME3 worked as that is what it does. After that, its up to vB to do the rest? Are you sure that the output isn't getting truncated by vB for the preview? In other words, if you put that as the very first line in the article, does it show?

I have tried with it as the only thing in article, on first line.
With text before and with text after.
Still no luck, probably a vb issue then.
Either way, you have any idea howto fix it?

[The Geek]

None. If you use vB's button to put the media code in... does it work?

Can you aslo pls click install? ;)

[nekiw]

If I use VB button I get the preview video on cms front, but still the textlink to the video also appears.
so it seem that is something with vb and something with your mod.

hi andreas,

there use to be a few but they were expensive and required things like ffmpeg to be installed on the server.

i know vbtube use to do it but it looks like they're closed for some reason.

it's a pretty complicated mod so whoever makes it for vb4 first wins.

keep in mind, i haven't done a lot of research on this so there might be some other options out there that i'm not aware of.

if you find something good and worth checking out please let me know too :D

[testbot]

i'm having a hard time adding a new video string.

Does this addon support video/audio direct link?

I was using SMF before moving to vB and there is a plugin in SMF that integrates video and audio players into SMF and will automatically embed any audio/video files posted in forum with a file link right under the audio/video player.

I wish there will be an addon like that in vB too.

Whatever code you can put in a definition is what the mod will do. It's per definition, though.

After upgrade my forum to last version, i can't see youtube videos anymore..

Was: Vbulletin 3.8.4, AME 2.5, all work perfect.

Upgarde: deinstall AME 2.5 (like writed in manual from first post), upgrade forum to 4.02 pl1, install AME3, rebuild all posts.

Now: all links to Youtube dont work anymore.. I uninstalled AME3, but links still not works, even inserted as embended with standard vbulletin 4 dialog...

Any suggestions?

This is great mod, and i prefer use it...
My forum big enough (~70000 users, ~1,5 billion posts), sow i need solution.

BTW, sorry for my crap english

Update: tryed on empty fresh base - all works nice...

[The Geek]

Do new posts work?
DO the posts that ARENT working have [ame] tags in them?

[cad2go]

Just running the upgrade(2.5->) and noticed quite a few like

YouTube- Pachelbel Canon in D Major Perfect Version

remain yet others in the same thread have converted fine.

4.0.2 Patch Level 1 btw. Any ideas?

OT: Personally I wish vb had just left this fantastic new feature out. Hands up who thinks that in a couple of years the inbuilt one might approach being any where as good as ame? by vb5 it'll have probably caught up.

[The Geek]

hehe, thanks for the kind words - I think Freddies done a pretty good job with the video system, it isn't as functional as AME (yet) but it is tight and focused so for most video jobs Its much better. I suspect it won't be long until they incorporate the rest of AME's feature set. Not because its so bad ass (though it is!) but more because thats a pretty logical evolution for them.

Now on to your problem...

If you re-run the tool will the above work? If not, will it work if you edit the post and remove the "'s within the first tag? Just wondering if thats what is causing it. Technically it should be totally fine.

very odd as I use chrome and it redirects me to the normal format.

Bottom line is this: The youtube definition that AME3 uses is vB's. If you put the url with the #! as the parameter start in the popup video box, it won't work either. If indeed that is the case, it needs to be reported as a bug in vB4 so that the base definition is updated.

very odd as I use chrome and it redirects me to the normal format.

Bottom line is this: The youtube definition that AME3 uses is vB's. If you put the url with the #! as the parameter start in the popup video box, it won't work either. If indeed that is the case, it needs to be reported as a bug in vB4 so that the base definition is updated.
Okay, I posted a video last night and it had the same "#!" in it, and I never noticed. I'm in Chrome too, but this is the first time it's ever done that to me. URLs looks the same as usual now. I guess the RegEx will need to be tweaked. Someone posted this in my thread last week, and they were only getting a "#", without the "!". Well, at least it's not a semicolon. :)

Yes it's very weird... still doesn't work for me even if I add it manually.
Maybe the author of this can help me? what do you think The Geek? :)
