AME3 - Auto Media Embeding and Video Extender

[InfoAddict]

I get this one every reply since 4.0.4 :

PHP Fatal error: Call to a member function verify_db() on a non-object in ./htdocs/includes/ame_prep.php on line 29

Had to disable Quick Reply as because of the above it was giving double posts. Now it just goes to a error 500 instead (but successfully posts).

EDIT: Nevermind - my own fault here...

[jkcerda]

Same problem here. The mod does not seem to be compatible with version 4.0.4.

Edited: Actually, I take that back. I applied the fix mentioned here (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=2019974&postcount=608) and it works perfectly now. :)

cool

How did you fix this as I'm getting the same problem? The fix for 4.0.3 doesn't appear relevent anymore as it looks like a hook has been added.

[The Geek]

Hey peeps.

Got a concerned email about concerns over the reusability of AME codebase and what my "plans" were for it. So i just wanted to make a quick note to clarify that I am no longer developing AME (or anything else for vB). I hope the community can (and will) make use of the various versions of AME to keep it alive. Please do me a favour and keep relevant credits where they are due - but otherwise run with it and keep the project alive.

I won't go into the reasons for my walk away from vB - it doesn't after all take a genius to put it all together.

Best of luck all. Thanks for the fish :)

I'd installed this - http://github.com/rcdesign/vb-foreign_mod_fixes/tree/master/vb-ame3/ but not correctly (just did the one file product-ame.xml and not ame_prep.php).

[kingmotox]

I noticed this works with 4.0.4 p1 with firefox but not in IE. anyone else have that problem

Anyone know how to make definitions for Megavideo and IMDB??

Great! :)

Is there a list of supported sites to this mod?

Aww man, another one run off by the staff or community. :(

[twhiting9275]

Aww man, another one run off by the staff or community. :(

Or the company. All we can do is speculate on why the user has chosen to leave, though.
It is, however, quite sad to see developers run off like this, for whatever reason, especially people who've backed vB with their code for years

[Shadow09]

Does it work on vB 4.0.5 ?

[Weetabix]

Doh, wrong thread. Tabbed browsing is too much for my poor little brain to handle.

Ugh say it isnt so.. Another one bites the Dust.. But with that said i do totally understand... Just wrote a long post about these things on my own forum.. My reasons to stick with vB are diminishing by the day...

[schlottkej]

Im going to guess that the reason he stopped is because vbulletin's new video system pretty much does exactly what AME does.

What vB needs to do now is make it easy to add additional definitions like AME does.

[Videx]

Im going to guess that the reason he stopped is because vbulletin's new video system pretty much does exactly what AME does. Is that true? I've never thought to turn off AME to see. If someone pastes in a youtube url vb405 actually embeds it automatically?

[thisgeek]

Is that true? I've never thought to turn off AME to see. If someone pastes in a youtube url vb405 actually embeds it automatically?

No, vb405 definitely does not do automatic embedding.

[schlottkej]

no.. the link doesn't turn into a video, but if you click the video button and put the link in it does... essentially the same thing.. and it provides service to the same seven or so services too.

I think they both have their place, but if AME is going to wither up and die hopefully vBulletin can expand on their's to include everything AME does.

[Videx]

One embeds automatically and one doesn't. How can you define that as "essentially the same thing"? The whole point of AME has always been that it embeds automatically, with no user input required.

As for making it easy to add new definitions, AME has never been known for that. One guy seemed to have figured it out before, and he made his list available for download, but there was never any easy way to make your own.

[markwein]

Does it work on vB 4.0.5 ?

I installed 4.0.5 yesterday and it stopped embedding new videos. I was hoping there would be a new update but it looks like thats not happening. :(

[karlm]

Shame too, AME is superior for the forum members who don't have the inclination to use tags or click a button... AME does help keep a site more professional looking.

[Fraxter]

For me it works on 405. I think you forgot to add that fix again: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=2019974&postcount=608

They are essentially the same thing because the only additional step you need to do to have them embed is click a video button. If you don't think that's why he gave up on the project I'd like to hear a better reason.

It's a lot easier to create definitions for AME than it is for the basic system available in the stock vB (because stock vB obviously has none.) The reason AME is no longer being developed is because it didn't focus enough on making that step easier for the masses. If it did, it would still have a strong place in the market.

[okokok]

We need extra video + mp3 addon !!!

Come on The Geek ! You have to be the best man ^^ We are all waiting for you!

[The Geek]

ugh. The reason I stopped supporting AME is because I stopped supporting vB. I never even had a vb4x site (though like many I parted cash in an unnamed "pre sale" almost a year ago). I am currently in the process of converting to another forum package (that oddly has auto embedding an an extensible video system) in my busy schedule.

As to the points about what AME does versus what vB4x does - well, thats by design. AME2x was far more complex and feature rich than AME3, but that was because I built AME3 on top of vB's video code system for maximum compatibility.

AME sholdn't hae even been needed in vB4 as the additional functionality of AME SHOULD have been out of the box in vB4. The vB video code is limited (but well written) however for whatever reason, it was done without the average user in mind.

Users are bathed in rich and responsive UI's every day now. Gone are the days where users were woooed over your smilies appearing in your wysiwyg editor. Users DO NOT understand or care about popups or tags (we fix about 30 broken quote boxes a day to prove it).

When we click on a smilie, we expect one to appear in our editor. When we do a colon and paren, we expect a smilie to appear in our message. When we paste in a URL into our message, we expect the url to be a link when we read the page. Me (and my users) expect to be able to post a link to a youtube video and it appears in their post.

These are not crazy concepts, they are natural user expectations.

All of the code is there, almost all the functionality is there - but there is a disconnect. Smart linking (of videos) is an important user experience feature that could have been great but instead a non extensible video tag that users have to be instructed about before using.

In regards to definitions - Anyone with minimal regex knowledge could whip out a crap load of definitions simply and easily (heck, 15 minutes looking at the ones there would have gotten people started).

I had also hoped that people would have "got stuck in" and involved in sharing definitions with each other (thats why I spent so long creating import and export systems). But in the end there was DJ and a handful of others trying to help everyone else that wouldn't even try to help themselves. Which is fine and to be expected to a degree - but also sort of sad and deflating.

Anyhoo - those are some of my thoughts on the subject(s). I do hope that AME's functionality gets folded into the core system one day - but sadly I won't be here to see it.

nJoy and thanks for the fish!

You just articulated the words that have been in the back of my mind ever since 4.0 came out. I sure hope somebody in charge at VB ends up reading that post. VB is woefully behind the times in terms of providing a simple user-friendly experience. It's like they know how to code... But they have no idea how to code for people! If only they would take a damn lesson from Facebook.

Mind sharing what the new forum software that you're switching to is?

I would be sucked in, but it really isn't as easy to work with the RegEx as you make it sound. I even picked up a copy of RegEx buddy, had it working in there, but can't get any of my attempts to work- even with assistance from Digital Jedi over PM.

With that said, you made a wonderful product here and it's sad to see it come to an end. Wishing you the best of luck in your new venture!

I suppose you could search and replace. But problems would occur with any videos that don't work in vb4. i.e., if you changed all your Youporn links from AME to VIDEO, they wouldn't work in vb4 because it doesn't come with a definition for Youporn. Better to change them to urls, then they would still work, though they wouldn't be embedded.

Can't use File Cache on a Windows Server because ame auto adds "/" to the location.
ie. \Inetpub\vhosts\mysite.com\httpdocs\ame\/ <---notice the / added, and it can't be removed.

Where can I edit that in one of the files to get rid of it?
Thanks!

Also, seems like it doesn't work with 64 bit Internet Explorer 8 either. Videos don't show up.
Works fine in 32 bit IE8 though.

Videos not showing up in 64-bit IE8 is normal. There is no 64-bit version of Flash yet, so no way for IE8 to play those videos. Adobe may eventually get around to putting out a 64-bit version.

[Videx]

Videos not showing up in 64-bit IE8 is normal.I think you are incorrect. My IE8 64bit runs the Flash test fine, and shows Youtube videos fine (on Youtube). But I can verify that I don't see the videos embedded in my forum. However, I don't think it's an AME problem as I've had AME disabled for a while now.

Is there any way to embed youtube videos using html5 and not flash? Flash not only sucks, but its not friendly to most (if not all) mobile devices. As we know, tablets and mobile use is on the rise.

I've seen pages showing how you can embed both in one (for those that can't see html5)

I'd like to be Flash free with all my web sites within the month.

THanks.

anyway to convert those old ame tags so it shows the YouTube video.

[Selene]

OK I converted the old tags from tools, but when I paste youtube link it doesnt make it embed?

what am I doing wrong. I imported the product xml and everything.

Weird!

[Selene]

I did just few sec ago, now the new youtube links that I paste do work.

But thing is I have so many posts with the old [ame] tag that were used in vb3, now im on vb4.

I did rebuild my posts from tools using this option:


[AME] UpgradeThis process will convert all [AME] codes into [URL]s and then attempt to convert those to [VIDEO] codes. This is used to when upgrading from pre AME 3.x


But the tags in those old posts still showing as AME

How far back did you go? You will need to set it back quite a while (or even all time) to get all your posts. Make sure to have a backup before you do so.

Also set Verbose mode to on, and see if your posts are being queried by the converter.

I think you need to use fix (obviously not just for 4.0.3) before you rebuild, but I'm not sure.

For some reason I can no longer see the videos using Firefox, but it's fine with Safari.AME has nothing to do with this, as all it does is wrap [video] tags around a url. I too have big trouble seeing videos in FF 369, often requiring several page refreshes.

DS's AME (Auto Media Embedding) Adult XML Media Definitions

can we use some definations xml for this hack? Like I would like to use for flickr.

possible? cuz i know the def xml is out for 3.8 but is it out for vb4?

[Videx]

I doubt there will ever be definitions for this version as it never did anything but wrap [video] tags. What's needed is a different mod that would actually allow users to define new definitions and add them to vb4. That may not be possible because the necessary hooks are missing.

[Jabong82]

I tried the fix to the functions_video.php file (I think thats what it was) and I have it working in 4.0.7, the only thing is after I submit a new post the screen goes blank with some weird symbols in the upper left corner. The post actually posts fine and everything, but it just looks bad when someone posts because they get the blank white page. Anyone know a fix for this?

[RobbieZ]

Yes by removing the product and overwriting the video.php file again with a fresh one from the members download section.

The Geek mentioned sometime back that he wasnt happy that vBulletin rewrote the video.php file, which stopped his mod working and wasnt going to chase them by changing it every time Vb decided to change it themselves.

This is why this thread is not supported by the designer anymore!

Hi thank you for your response.

Could you please clarify what you mean?

I am running 4.0.7. So should I uninstall AME and then re-install it again? Thank you.

[RobbieZ]

I removed this mod a while back, but all you need to do is the edit on the video.php file.

If after that it doesn't work then you need to re-write the same file from your members area.

I tried applying the fix, and it brought up the blank page with the digits/letters but then nothing else happened, no redirect. :( Bummer. Using firefox.

[Jabong82]

I get the same problem. When I apply the fix suggested I get the blank page with the squiggly symbols and no redirect. So basically the mod will work, but it messes up the posting feature. Any help would be appreciated.

Is there a way to configure AME for tall screens? Some of our users have been requesting this. Example: http://vimeo.com/14657186

AME has nothing to do with how a video is displayed. Odd that you should be getting requests for it though. Do a lot of your users run with vertically placed monitors?

I co-admin a video site so some people take advantage of this. Right now the vertical video is displayed in a 4:3 embedded video. They would prefer it to be in a vertical video. I wasn't sure if this was an AME thing, a vB thing, or some other thing.

[Videx]

I'm going to guess it's Vimeo's fault. But actually when I try the above link on my own forum the embed window is the (now) standard 16:9, not 4:3.

Running into an issue, not sure what i am doing wrong...

When i use the video option on CMS:

The main CMS page shows a small video clip when part of the CMS post. Then when displaying full CMS article, it displays a 640x392 youtube video.

When I use the video option on BLOG:

The main Blog page shows a medium size video of 425x256. Then when displaying the full Blog, it also shows same size video.

Help and Questions:

1. I want to continue showing small video on main CMS and main Blog pages. But, I want to show a consistent medium size video on the full CMS and full Blog pages. How do i fix this to be consistent?

2. How do i ensure same consistency when they post other videos, besides youtube videos?

[Videx]

Running into an issue, not sure what i am doing wrongYou didn't even give links so we can only offer general help. To troubleshoot issues with video, first I would uninstall any mods that may affect the video. I'd also uninstall this one since you had to do file editing to enable it - undo all those file edits.

Then when you can verify embedding is working properly in a native vb4 system with no mods, add them back one at a time to see which one is messing things up. Alternatively, if it's just vb4 doing it, go to vb.com and search for the problem there.

[TheInsaneManiac]

Hey I upgraded from 2.5 to 3.0 and now every post a new youtube link is posted it doesn't convert. It shows the title of the video and a link to it, but not the video, same with edited posts that add a youtube link.

This mod is just for embedding videos in posts. No media library involved correct?

Not just Hulu, youtube, vimeo, dailymotion, metacafe, google, facebook (the ones vbulletin already provides.

Jesus Christ that's all this does? How lazy can someone be? With vb4 you don't even have to add video tags.

So, what's the sense of this mod/hack?

[Videx]

Originally the intent was much more grandiose. It was supposed to be a template language where anyone could add/edit sites easily. That never really happened, though the vb3 version did have one person that figured it out and he released a lot of definitions. The original author moved on before doing anything with the vb4 version, but I believe he has said anyone is free to take it over.

I think there's a vote floating around Jira somewhere to get vb to add more definitions. I'm not sure they'll ever figure out how to make it automatic any longer. That was just much easier when internet video was young and relatively rare.

Hello can anyone tell me how to add code for embed for http://www.noob.us?

[Digital Jedi]

Just to let you vB4 users know as well, since The Geek released this to the public (provided they give credit where credit is due) and won't be developing for vBulletin anymore, I'm going to do my own vB3 version of AME for re-release. I'm not a coder like The Geek or some of the people here, but I know how to deliver a stable product. I'm confident I can continue to maintain that quality that started with AME. However, I'm not familiar with the most recent vB4 changes, so while even a new vB3 version is pretty far down the road, I really couldn't tell you how soon a vB4 update would happen. Unless someone donates full admin access to their demo vB4 board for testing for the indefinite future, I don't have that kind of option at present. I will work towards that end though. If you were patient with my AME 2.5 definitions, you're really going to have to be patient with my product development. I'm a perfectionist. :)

Actually, neither this, nor the early versions of AME were ever supported. I remember when the first one was posted and he would help out a little with new releases, making sure any initial bugs were worked out, but he had designed it then so that it didn't need to be. vB 4 kind of nerfed his ability to do it that way again. Problems just kept coming up. For a long time on vB3, it seemed supported, but that was just me answering newbie question and trying to pimp my definitions thread. (Did I just say that out loud?)


Absolutely, but I don't see why I can't provide my opinion when he has clearly shown his regarding Vb. With the way he dropped everyone I say good riddance and I thank you for picking up the slack.
Actually, it was a very gradual process. Took several years before he ever fully dropped developing for vB. He turned over his paid hacks to Calorie several years ago, and did some free releases since then, like AME. AME was just the last one to go. The last straw in a lot of ways.

I'm not saying you can't voice your opinion. I'm just saying, given all the facts, it's not really a fair assessment. I actually defend his decision to leave, even though, it makes it harder for me to develop the massive definitions set I had been working on. But his decision to leave has forced me to try and take over development of AME if no one else beats me to the punch, forcing me to look into the beast of PHP that I'd been avoiding or putting off.

[Digital Jedi]

And yes, I know I say "actually" a lot. I'm working on it.

[doobiefillin]

are there any good alternatives to AME?

[Digital Jedi]

are there any good alternatives to AME?
Not in my opinion. Though I'm admittedly biased, it's not that I don't think the other media embedders provide good service, it's that it doesn't have the "user end" support that AME does. Meaning, you only get the site the dev feels needed to be added to the modification, and if for some reason the dev has to take some time off, no one can offer ancillary additions.

For instance, someone over at the AME 2.5 section wanted me to add support for PlostoPleer. It was going to be a while before I got to it, so he figured it out and made one himself, then released it to the community.

Maybe if I, and other donated, we'd have a V4.1 already.. so , who's to blame.. really?

Thanks for a great product.. it was fantastic while it lasted!

[Hornstar]

The Geek was a god for VB. IB should do everything in their power to get him back and other coders like him back. This modification and even his PDF that he made was fantastic. VB can not be the same without him.

I am impressed with DJ wanting to take over this and try and get a VB4.1 working version with all the definitions the community wants, however that is going to be a mammoth task.

I was in the process of testing a 4.1 upgrade from 3.8.x and now I feel like a massive hole has appeared because this product was just legendary!

------
With my test install, I used the rebuild feature for my old 2.5 definitions. It converted them fine from ame to URLS but it could not convert them to the new format.

Also posting a youtube url only posted it as a url, it did not embed it.

Do you think this is the definition or maybe being on 4.1? I even just tried this: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=2019974&postcount=608

Edit: I kept on reading and found this post https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=2056321&postcount=713 I think that is making everything work properly again.

Edit again: If anyone is having problems than you should install this version https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=2056321&postcount=713

I am running VB 4.1 and everything is now working perfect with this version including updating my old AME bbcode over to the new BBcode and auto embedding etc.

Now all I need is more definitions. It is nice to have it working again. Thanks to those who have helped out in this thread, much appreciated.

My Master XML for 2.5 only works with AME 2.5. It's not compatable with AME 3 since all the variables changed.

I did release one here in this thread a while back, but it wasn't tested, and only a few folks got back to me saying it didn't work right. I'm having to go back through each individually. Not all sites supported in the last will work with this newer version of AME because it only has one $param value for video IDs and some sites required two+ to make work.

Pretty much it's this:

$p1 = {vb:raw:code}
Extraction Regex = Regex Scrape

All the other variables and fields were deprecated.

[big dan]

Hi All,

I wondering if anyone else has had this issue. I upgraded one of my boards to vB 4 and AME 3 along with it. Pasting a YouTube link into a post isn't converting to video embed like it did with AME 2.5 on vB 3. Is there something I'm missing?

Thanks,
Dan

Edit: Never mind applied the patch the /functions_video.php

I've had some trouble getting this to work on some 4.1 installations who had made the edit. Specifically, we could not get new definitions to work, but default definitions seemed to work normally. I still don't know why.

[RobbieZ]

If your talking about the fix, where you edit this template > includes/functions_video.php !

It did actually work but every post you made you get a message, thanks for posting, if you posted a poll you will be automatically brought to it.

Its basically making a call every time and you dont need this especially for QR and slow server loads..

Thats a file edit, not a template edit. And I've had no such issues.

And DJ: I'm only using the default stuff, cause I'll never be able to wrap my head around regex. So out of the box, it works perfectly...

Perhaps the 4.1 re-write solved this mystery for me on my 4.0.6.

This mod works perfectly on 4.1.

After spending whole day, i finally find solution.

Now this mod working for me on 4.1
For example, i'll talk about youtube.

If you want up&run this mode, try doing next:
1. Make sure, what your forum parsing youtube links. For this try make new post by extended editor, and insert link by standard "video link" dialog (pic 1.)
2. If link still not work check two settings. First - make sure, what allow remote retrieval count not equal zero. Go to Admin CP => Options => BB Code Settings (pic 2). Second - make sure, what forum where your try post link have enabled IMG tag. Go to Admin CP => Forum and moderators => Forum manager => Your forum, choose edit=> Enable\Disable Features, and check [IMG] settings (pic 3).
3. Then, if your link start working properly, you may install AME as described. After install, just edit this file - functions_video.php.

Find global $vbulletin; and insert after this require_once(DIR . '/includes/ame_prep.php');
$providers = ame_data_preparse($pagetext);

If you wan't edit any file, try this version - https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=2056321&postcount=713
It's worked for me also.

Yep. You're done!

Nothing new, just placed in one place.. :D

I'd have to double check, but if the old Blip definition required more than one parameter ($p1, $p2, etc) then it won't work with AME 3, as it only uses one.

Hi all, does anyone have a definition for official.fm?

It sounds like you may have made an error in your file edit. Or you used an HTML editor that made unwanted changes when you opened the file.

So no one has yet to bother with an AME 3.x definitions file?

It sucks how poorly supported VBulletin 4.0 mods are!! Not anyone's fault.. it just kind of sucks.

I wish I had gone with VBuleltin 3.x for my latest forum.. it's a year old and I'm still twiddling my thumbs hoping for modifications that I've had on my 3.x forums for years.

I did one set that didn't go over real well. Had some errors importing. Another thing is they kind of nerfed AME 3 with the changes in more recent versions of 4.0. One of them being that we can't seem to create new definitions at all.

I have it working on a fresh vb 4.1.1. everything going smooth so far. But that is very discouraging to say the least man :( It's great now don't get me wrong but with only a limited amount of resources this mod can not even start to get close to it's true potential.

I'm going to take over development of AME 2.5 for the time being. Once I wrap my head around the code, I'll try and tackle AME 3, too. That is, unless someone beats me to it.

Yes, in fact I upgraded to 4.1.1 last week I believe and didn't notice till today that AME3 stopped working.

[Zweeper]

hm, i hope there is any bugfix coming for this. really appreciate this mod!

[Videx]

I don't think it's a bugfix. We need a whole new interpreter that can be modified and updated easily. A user setting for "Disable automatic video parsing" would be nice.

Same issue for me. This is unfortunate as my members like the embedded functionality. Will keep an on on this thread for a fix. Below is the contents of my funtions_video.php with the mod configured.

function parse_video_bbcode($pagetext)
{
global $vbulletin;
require_once(DIR . '/includes/ame_prep.php');
$providers = ame_data_preparse($pagetext);

($hook = vBulletinHook::fetch_hook('data_parse_bbcode_video ')) ? eval($hook) : false;

if (stripos($pagetext, '[video]') !== false)
{
require_once(DIR . '/includes/class_bbcode_alt.php');
$parser = new vB_BbCodeParser_Video_PreParse($vbulletin, array());
$pagetext = $parser->parse($pagetext);
}

return $pagetext;
}

same as me mate

[bitbender]

What I find a bit confusing is that some seem to have made it work using the fix on 4.1.1, whereas others cannot - Is it just the double posting issue?

I've been usiing this mod on my 3.7 forums for a long time, and I was hoping it would migrate to the 4.1.x frontier, but after reading all these pages I have hesitated.

[Videx]

It's not nearly as 'popular with the community' as you might think. Some people are just lazy and won't use bbcode no matter what you do. Saying that auto-parsing video tags is 'popular' with these people is disingenuous, since they were never really given a choice. Not like you can count the people that would go to the effort to "noparse" their video links.

As admin I kind of missed it at first. But I don't think it made a bit of difference to most users, who likely don't even think about it as they click on an unparsed video url to watch it.

[BlueCheri]

Yes it works, thanx

This post will fix the issues for those wanting to use this mod. It works in 4.0.8.

Have you also imported the xml from the vb-4.0.4-ame3.zip file?
I forgot that in the first step and only uploaded the files :)
What i did is:

- import xml from AME3.zip
- Upload files from vb-4.0.4-ame3.zip
- import xml from vb-4.0.4-ame3.zip (let overwrite)
