AME3 - Auto Media Embeding and Video Extender

[The Geek]

From the makers of Smooth and Jazz comes the singing sensation my mom has been waiting months for:

AME3. Bigger. Badder. Bestest.

NOTE ABOUT vB4.0.3: ------------------------------------------------------------

vBulletin 4.0.3 has changed the way video codes are handled and in the process, inadvertently broke AME3. I have submitted a bug report and believe that the issue will be quickly resolved. There is a manual fix you can apply for 4.0.3 here (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=2019974&postcount=608) in the interim.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

AME3 is the sequel to the multi award winning AME 1x and AME 2x (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=202476) systems. AME3. This time, its different.

Vote for AME3 as MotM! (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=231801)

If you like AME3, you'll love AME'fy for your profiles! (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=231814)
AME3 does 3 things:
It allows users to simply paste URLs into their message without having to use the video bbcode or video popup box.
It allows you to add, edit and customise the video definitions that ship with vB4
It allows you to import community created definitions to extend the system in ways you otherwise couldn't.Now you can use AME anywhere you can use video bbcode: posts, blogs, visitor messages, the CMS, etc...

Note that I am releasing this early for beta testing and general feedback. There is currently a bug in RC2, RC4 and 4.0.0 that will prevent AME from working however there is a workaround posted below.

I have written a pretty comprehensive readme and attached it seperatly to this post. I suspect both this post and the readme will get updated as AME3 becomes finalised.

Change Log:

2/1/10
Fixed file cache bug when rebuilding
Prevented turning on cache with empty path setting
Added ability to rebuild definitions after a vB4 default restore (i.e. an update)
Fixed a few other bugs


17/1/10
Fixed bug with quotes containing quotes

First Install

Is it just me or is there no product file in the zip file and the AME dir is empty.

[Cableguy69]

Excellent was wondering if this would be released again.

[The Geek]

First Install


Is it just me or is there no product file in the zip file?

From the troubleshooting section of the readme:

3. Where is the product XML file?
By default, AME requests that you read the installation instructions. This is where it says “The AME3 product file is in your includes/xml folder and is called product-ame.xml.”

;)

I have a feeling I'm going to need to move that back out to the root zip :D

Thanks for the fast reply I found out why the AME dir is empty too. LOL

When I save the cache settings I get the following warnings.

Download beta 1.02 and replace your includes/ame_cache.php and includes/ame_prep.php

Sorry about that!

Should I also note that before it was making a file called ame_prep.php in the AME dir before the file changes.

vBulletin 4.0.0 Gold has just been released, so might want to test it on that ;)

Where are compatible definitions?

Tagging till the bugs are sorted out. Glad you're bringing this to vB4. :)

[The Geek]

when saving an article I get this:

Try setting up the file cache, that should sort the problem out until I get a chance to test it against vb4 gold.

Give it time, this just released a couple hours ago ;)

does this stream mp3 attachments loaded by users?

thanks

[RadioErewan]

So I typoed and you no longer want to bear my fruit? I knew I should have been more careful :) Glad someone read the readme (which I couldn't stop laughing while typing... clearly. Amazing there weren't more typos ;) )

Guys - I haven't had a chance to test this on gold. I will do this first thing tomorrow - thanks for your help so far.

[milsirhc]

Thanks!!! This is one of the mods that I'm so looking forward to for VB4!!!!

I'll wait till this is tested for GOLD, and will install it!

[goblues]

If nothing else Geek, You are damn entertaining. Tagged for future. Good work.

[VonDoom]

Alright its beginning to look alot like Christmas.. Tagged

[garretbyrne]

Doesn't seem to work with Gold.. But delighted this is being updated for VB4 I missed it so much when I updated to beta.. I mean having people go to video first and then add the link is in honestly too much hassle for some people.. the fact you can just add the link and it automatically changes it's so much better.. AME all the way.. I hope you sort this out soon because I loved this back in 3.8.4

Cheers for the hard work

[EDIT] If you can, with youtube can you make it so it adds the fullscreen button? That was one of the only issues I had with this last time around.. If not no worries... Cheers

[kylek]

Thanks Admiral Akbar!! Will see how it goes.

I may not be able to install 4.0 for a while, but that doesn't mean I can't develop definitions. I just won't be able to test them personally. What do I need to know that makes defs different in AME 3?

[Alan_SP]

Because in vb4, AME uses vbs new [video] tag, the old [ame] tags will become redundant. Because of this and many internal changes, the upgrade path will actually look like:

1- uninstall AME2.x but leave the [ame] tags intact
2- install AME3
3- Run conversion tool which will convert ame tags into video tags.

Well, I'll ask my question here, it's a new version, it may be more appropriate in this thread...

In what step do we upgrade vB4? Before step 1, or before step 2?

[The Geek]

You won't have any problems updating most of your definitions - however because its vB doing the actual processing, there are some limitations to what can no be converted. Basically 1 parameter. Ill whip up some info and put it in the readme once I get it updated for gold.

Well, I'll ask my question here, it's a new version, it may be more appropriate in this thread...

You can upgrade vB4 first or uninstall AME2x first. Remember though that if you upgrade vb4 first AME2x isn't compatible with vB4 so you will have to disable it AME untill it is uninstalled.

Simple question, how does it deal with old posts with Video URLs ? Is there something I could do to parse them properly ?

[The Geek]

I have updated the pacakge to beta 2.

This version fixes a few issues with vB4 gold that was released yesterday and a few additional bugs users have noticed during the beta test.

I have verified that the bad hook bug mentioned in the first post still exists :down: I have included a safety check in ame's admincp to make sure users have removed it.

Again, thanks for the help in beta testing!

What video codes are those? Old AME codes or another video code system?

[pozo]

After uninstalling this modification, the default video-Tag doesn't work any longer...
Any idea how to solve this? :confused:

//edit:
It was probably a mistake from my side... I'm able to clarify it later, so I'll revert if the bug still appears!

I can't confirm this. There isn't anything in AME that would stop the default video code from working. The only exception could be if you used URLs that vB's video code wouldnt parse to begin with. Can you provide an example?

[BBR-APBT]

Looks to be working great, so far so good no errors. I test ran all the admin settings

I was too fast and pumped to upgrade to vb4 yesterday that i uninstalled the previous AME version. Now the board is left with url's between ame tags :)
Will that be solved once I install this version AME3?

There is a tool in AME3 that will convert your old [ame] tags into vB's new [video] tag or a url if you don't have a mactching definition.

[Bram H]

Damn talking about fast support here :) Really appreciated The Geek!! vBulletin would be a pita without guys like yourself! Keep up the great work that you do for everybody. Thank you.

/mark installed and runs to the matrix f.k.a admincp!

Not a problem thanks for the fast support.

Now maybe you can help me with a video code once I figure out one I can do more.

This is for Photobucket videos in which a lot of my users post.
regex URL this converts just fine I think.

http:\/\/(?:[\w\d]+\.)?photobucket\.(?:[\w\.\/%-_?]+)\?.*action=view&current=([a-z0-9-_]+\.flv)


it parses to
http://s295.photobucket.com/albums/mm133/amonday7/?action=view&current=TesTTube.flv

Now here comes the problem.
I added this in the embed box

<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="600" height="361" data="http://photobucket.com/player.swf?file={vb:raw code}">
<param name="movie" value="http://photobucket.com/player.swf?file={vb:raw code}" />
<param name="wmode" value="transparent" />
</object>


But when you view the thread nothing shows for that video but all your defs work fine. Its just my Photobucket that is the problem. You see any problems?

Just been looking into this one. Photobucket may be a little complex - it looks like it will need a scrape at the minimum. Let me see what I can whip up

[gnosisprod]

Am I correct to assume that AME3 isn't compatible with vb3?

[The Geek]

Thats right. Use AME 2.5x for vB3.8x

[movslow]

Is this safe for 4.0 Gold?

[The Geek]

Fixen em as I findem :)

Just updated package with a new admincp/ame.php file which fixes a rare issue with custom embed code changes not properly compiling into the bbcode_video template.

Also whipped up this definition for photobucket. I have only tested it on 1 url variation though so I wouldn't be shocked if it didn't need some additional tweaks.

[The Geek]

Not sure what you mean. It's not dangerous if that helps.

AME just checks your urls to see if they could actually be videos. If they are, AME changes the URL to url and passes it off to vBulletin to handle the rest. Are you sure you don't maybe have the old version of AME still installed and enabled? Maybe some other mod?

That tells me the definition isn't in the bbcode_video template which was an issue fixed in beta 2b.
Check your bbcode_video template to see if photobucket is mentioned at all. If not, redownload the beta 2b package and replace your admincp/ame.php file. Then re-save your photobucket definition, redit and save the post.

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.

Check out the readme, the short of it is: Yes, but don't revert your AME codes. INstall AME3 then use the rebuild tools to convert your old AME codes.

Something damn well strange is going on. It says it is upgrading the AME codes to video and finds every single one but actually doesn't alter the post table at all. If you want to come on my board and test it out you are more than welcome. By the way, no I am not running in test mode.

It scans through all forum post and only alters post that need to be altered.

run it once with test and verbose mode mode on and test mode on. If you have no errors then set them both to no and run again.

It will then convert the threads.

Well, I am weeks behind...I haven't even decided to upgrade to vb4 yet. Will there be a defination for WorldStarHipHop, or is there one created already.

Currently there are only those that ship with vB and there s a photobucket in this thread. Given time I am sure all will eventually be availible again.

[The Geek]

Is there a query I can run to convert AME tags to the new video tags without installing this mod?
nope. You can of course uninstall AME2x and choose to revert AME to url's if you want. You could then go through each post and re-video them.

[Boots]

I uninstalled v2 so i have a bunch of [AME] tags. If i install v3 will it convert them to video tags?

[Boots]

ame_flag on the posts table. Does that indicate the post contains an ame tag?

[BBR-APBT]

ame_flag on the posts table. Does that indicate the post contains an ame tag?

As he said Install AME 2.5 on you 4.0 board. Do not visit any threads. Go directly to the adminCP go to the AME tools. Press the link that says convert post to url bbcode.

All your videos will be converted to url's

You could just install AME 3 and Convert all your AME tags to Video tags and uninstall the mod.

Cant see why you wouldn't want this to work the same for your members like in 3.8.
Just post a link hell with pressing the bbcode button. My members love it.

[The Geek]

AME3 does have this ability. Though the readme goes deeper into this the basic process to transition from AME2x is:

1- Uninstall AME2x before or after your vb4 upgrade (note AME2x will not work on vb4 though)
2- This will leave [ame] tags in your posts
3- Install AME3
4- Go to the Tools section of your AME ACP page and choose rebuild posts/blogs/etc...
5- This process can convert the old AME tags into [video] tags OR [url] tags if there is not a matching definition.

HTHs

}
else
{
global $vbulletin;
$reg = &$vbulletin;

Sorry, I mean: Are you using the AME3 Beta2a package?

[movslow]

hmmm... that doesn't make any sense. I only ever use require_once to include class files and the calls look identical.

Can you edit your AME - Auto COnvert URLs plugin and replace it with this:


if (class_exists("vB"))
{
$reg = &vB::$vbulletin;
}
else
{
global $vbulletin;
$reg = &$vbulletin;
}

if (!is_object($reg->AME))
{
if (!class_exists("AME_prep_base"))
{
require_once(DIR . '/includes/ame_prep.php');
}

$reg->AME = new AME_message_prep($reg);

}

$reg->AME->preparse($pagetext);
$providers = $reg->AME->info['providers'];

Sure, but where is it?

If you want to PM me temporary admincp access, I will take a look, but im not sure what the problem could be. I can't reporduce it and it doesn't make any sense :(

[BBR-APBT]

Looks like the problem I had before I re-uploaded the new files.

My ftp software did not over write all files. So I have now started deleting the files before new uploading the new ones.

I went through the install pdf and removed the old files per the instructions.

I'll try re-uploading the stuff, set everything to overwrite and reinstall the product file, see what happens and report back.

Sorry for the hassle.

[movslow]

Negative on the reinstall.

Btw, when it's "installed", you can't even make a post, it shows the same error.

[The Geek]

do you have the file cache on?

[movslow]

Tried again, this time I didn't set the cache, left it NO, the TEST worked ok?

FYI, I have the VB4 Supercharged caching system installed if that matters.

[The Geek]

hmmmm. What happens if you disable it and turn on the cache?

[The Geek]

Actually... Ill bet cold hard cache (see what I did there? A pun!) that the ame_prep.php file in your file cache folder is the one that should go into the includes folder.

That would cause this problem.

Delete any *.php file in your ame cache folder and resave your settings

[movslow]

It's working, for new video's, but I haven't turned on the ame cache, or rebuilt any previous video urls from the old ame 2.5x

[movslow]

Turned on ame file cache, same error occured.

Turned it off, back to working fine.

Thoughts?

My amecache folder is empty.

All files are where they need to go.

If I go to tools and update file cache, it comes back w/could not find ame_saved, of course this is with the cache turned off.

[The Geek]

Yes, I am positive that you have accidently copied the includes/ame_prep.php file into the ame folder which has overwritten the cache file with a code file.

Partly my mistake for naming them both ame_cache.php
I have renamed the cache file for the next release.

By default, the ame cache folder is located in your forum directory and it is called ame. If that is still the location of your file cache, delete the ame_prep.php file in there and resave your settings.

[movslow]

Thanks for all the help.

:up:

[Boots]

AME3 does have this ability. Though the readme goes deeper into this the basic process to transition from AME2x is:

1- Uninstall AME2x before or after your vb4 upgrade (note AME2x will not work on vb4 though)
2- This will leave [ame] tags in your posts
3- Install AME3
4- Go to the Tools section of your AME ACP page and choose rebuild posts/blogs/etc...
5- This process can convert the old AME tags into [video] tags OR [url] tags if there is not a matching definition.

Great. That's exactly what I want. Thanks :)

Just tested Dodge's site. Had to redo edits as per readme and first post, but everything seems to be working a treat since that. If someone could PLEASE provide reproducable steps on their site and admincp/ftp access I would LOVE to get to the bottom of this.

In the meantime, could people PLEASE read the installation instructions and make sure they have been done?

You can't. It means that the publisher has prevented other sites from embedding the video. This has nothing to do with AME.

Not sure I follow you DJ. All AME does is wrap video codes around matching links. vB does the embedding?

Make sure you have done the file edit as per the readme and install instructions. Also, are you using the file cache? If you are still having problems, PM me temp admincp details so I can review. So far, both times I have looked at the problem, it was the file edit.

Im going to whip up a version to help at least prevent this. Wish vB would release 4.0.1 and fix the stupid bug.

Also people, it would be nice if you clicked install :)

That could not be true. I got the same error when i edit a post an insert a youtube adress..

[The Geek]

That could not be true. I got the same error when i edit a post an insert a youtube adress..

It is very true. All AME is doing is looking at all your URL tags and if it sees that the URL tag contains a media definition, it swaps it out with a [video] tag. vBulletin does the actual processing.

Make sure you don't have an old verison of AME installed.

And click install please.

Got the same one on my site... ended up disabling it sadly.

I have just uploaded Beta3. This should address the error on some server configurations that some of you have had. Its been a real pain to track down because I still haven't been able to reproduce and it seems to be happening only certain php versions. Anyhoo - hopefully this package does the trick.

To upgrade, follow the steps in the readme (standard upgrade - replace your files and product-ame.xml)

Awesome, thanks for the update Geek. This is one of my favorite vB MODs.

[The Geek]

All I am saying is that you would get the exact same effect using the Video popup with vBulletin so that is a vB issue. If you widen your browser a bit, its fine. You should be able to adjust the max size via css though.

Another issue I noticed was when I tried to rebuild the cache in ACP it said "Could not find phrase 'ame_saved'." - That one's probably not major though. Can't expect perfection from a Beta.

It will not embed attachments (unless that's changed in vB4 and someone hasn't told me). It will embed locally hosted MP3s not uploaded as attachments, but not until a definition for MP3s has been created for this version of AME.

[The Geek]

DJ is correct, 'out of the box' AME4 doesn't have any additional definitions than vB4 comes with.

BTW... I have been experimenting with AME'fying profiles. If there is enough interest I may 'formalise' this as an addon. Basically it allows you to tell AME to render certain custom profile fields (that ideally have a media url in). It will then show in the profiel depending on where you assign it. Right now there are about 6 different places.

[Digital Jedi]

You already know how I feel. Yes, please. :eek:

Good morning and happy new year.
I've installed this wonderful plug in but it do not look like ok.
i do not see the functions actives to set to convert the link in video.
and i've modified the hook file in xml and also opened saved and recharged the plug in in pug in manager.
i use Vb4 PL1 and ame 3. beta 2a because i've tried to installed beta 3 and the system has crashed and i had to restore all.
i've read the instructions to update but . .

have you any suggest about this problem?

[way2xtreme]

Hello everyone:

I need help with AME Regex URL. And I am willing to pay a reasonable fee for someone who can help. Here is what I need:

Any time AME sees an URL starting with "http://MySite.com/P/?" it then out put the entire url as a parameter. I will then put {vb:raw code} in a embed code.

For example, in this URL

http://MySite.com/P/?@4ATsy4DPut4ELHH2qQtFpage_1_test&ZZ@4ATmv4DFyC4EEFc@4AWJg4BWWy1CTVO4DLvN4EByx1qJijp age3&ZZ@

It starts with

http://MySite.com/P/?

Then the whole URL is the parameter, nothing needs to be altered...

http://MySite.com/P/?@4ATsy4DPut4ELHH2qQtFpage_1_test&ZZ@4ATmv4DFyC4EEFc@4AWJg4BWWy1CTVO4DLvN4EByx1qJijp age3&ZZ@

Thank you very much in advance and happy new year!

ps. here is my older code which still work fine on the old forum:

Any time AME sees an URL starting with "http://MySite.com/P/?" it then out put the entire url as a parameter. I will then put {vb:raw code} in a embed code.

For example, in this URL

http://MySite.com/P/?@4ATsy4DPut4ELHH2qQtFpage_1_test&ZZ@4ATmv4DFyC4EEFc@4AWJg4BWWy1CTVO4DLvN4EByx1qJijp age3&ZZ@

It starts with

http://MySite.com/P/?

Then the whole URL is the parameter, nothing needs to be altered...

http://MySite.com/P/?@4ATsy4DPut4ELHH2qQtFpage_1_test&ZZ@4ATmv4DFyC4EEFc@4AWJg4BWWy1CTVO4DLvN4EByx1qJijp age3&ZZ@

Thank you very much in advance and happy new year!

WC

ps. here is my older code which still work fine on the old forum:

([http://]*[a-z]*?[\.]?mysite\.com\/P\/[\w\/\-\%\?\@]+)

$p1 is the parameter; it will get the entire url
Well, I don't know what's changed in the new version of AME yet, but in the previous version, at least, you could just use something simple:

http://[\w.]*mysite\.com/P/\?[\w&;@]+

And just use $ameinfo[url] (I assume The Geek didn't change this in AME 3) for the URL. You don't need to escape every forward slash, and you don't need % or - unless you have some URLs that have those characters. If so, just add them to the last set of brackets. I'd recommend putting the dash last, as I've run into a couple of problems putting elsewhere in the brackets.

I get this error when im rebuilding the old posts

Building....

* post 691:
Warning: include(ame_prep_cache.php) [function.include]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in [path]/includes/ame_prep.php on line 595

Sounds like you have the file cache on, but not a valid path (which is the second setting).

Try this, I don't have any embed code to go off of, but assume you can tweak if needed.

Note that because of the way vB4 deals with video parameters, you don't want a semi-colon in your parameter.

@DJ - Keep meaning to update the readme with an outline of the new formats, but keep getting side tracked :D

Because its really vB4 doing the video management, we are somewhat limited in some of the things we can do, but not many. The key restriction is that there can be only one parameter (and it can't contain a semicolon!). That parameter can be fetched from another site or from the URL. There are no other parameters that can be used in the embed code other than this parameter, so no titles, sizes, etc...

Il get to writing it soon enough!

[The Geek]

thanks work fine .

can u please tell me i want to share , 4shared.com movie im try it but this link not working.

how can i fix it ?

http://www.4shared.com/file/35149075/f1b2f296/YouTube_-_Funny_Baby_Laughing_.html?s=1

You can try this one, though only tested it with one URL.

[The Geek]

Updated package

•Fixed file cache bug when rebuilding
•Prevented turning on cache with empty path setting
•Added ability to rebuild definitions after a vB4 default restore (i.e. an update)
•Fixed a few other bugs

Hello Geek (& DJ):

I have just tried the code. it seems to work on the decoding part:

When previewing, it changes

http://MySite.com/P/?@4ATsy4DPut@

into

http://MySite.com/P/?@4ATsy4DPut@


However, nothing gets shown as a result and I can't see my embed code in the html source. Actually, there isn't anything at all....

Thanks
WC

ps. I have downloaded the latest files.

Also, I have a bbcode that's working, is there a way to auto convert

http://MySite.com/P/?@4ATsy4DPut@

to

http://MySite.com/P/?@4ATsy4DPut@

I think that makes more sense.. :)

[The Geek]

That URL doesnt bring up a valid page though? Maybe thats the problem. I used the example you posted earlier and it worked for me then.

[way2xtreme]

That URL doesnt bring up a valid page though? Maybe thats the problem. I used the example you posted earlier and it worked for me then.

It brings up the page but doesn't show the embed... For example,

I type in

test 1
http://MySite.com/P/?@4ATsy4DPut@
test 2

and get this when published

test 1

test 2

When I edit post, I see
test 1
http://MySite.com/P/?@4ATsy4DPut@
test 2



Then I check the html source, there is nothing between "test 1" and "test 2"

I think the decoding part is working, but it's ignoring my embed code (I checked many times to be sure the code is good, as a matter of fact, it is still working on my old forum with older version of AME)

Thanks :)

Hi,

how must the code look like when I want to insert Videos from www.Trabzonum.TV with a Link like:
http://www.trabzonum.tv/musicvideo.php?vid=c9442c290

or a Link like:
http://www.trabzonum.tv/toulouse-0-1-trabzonspor/27082009-video_c9442c290.html

I try to add a definition for trabzonum.tv to ame.xml, but it doesn't work..
<def>
<providerid>9</providerid>
<tagoption>trabzonumtv</tagoption>
<provider>trabzonumtv</provider>
<url>http://www.trabzonum.tv</url>
<regex_url><![CDATA[http:\/\/www\.trabzonum\.tv\/musicvideo.php\?.*vid=([a-z0-9-_]+)]]></regex_url>
<regex_scrape />
<embed><![CDATA[<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="576" height="432" data="http://www.trabzonum.tv/vid/{vb:raw code}">

One parameter? Does that mean $p2 and up are gone, too? If so, that will nerf more than half of the definitions set. :( Please tell me extraction is still possible.

[gg2-hungama]

i installed it but on forum i see links like this

Dailymotion - Tum Mile *DVD Rip* Part 7 - a Film & TV video@@AMEPARAM@@http://www.dailymotion.com/swf/xbelda@@AMEPARAM@@xbelda

[dangerin]

excuse me .. but i've read the instructions to update ame 3 to this last update.
actually i have 3.0.0 Beta 2a and the last is beta 3b correct? i can update directly this or i must find the others? and after in the instructione i read to import a gogo ame xml but i do not find anc in the files there are three xml files cpnav hook and product ( what i must import? )
sorry but is the second time that i try and other time i've crashed the site afetr update and remove .
thanks

[The Geek]

test 1
http://MySite.com/P/?@4ATsy4DPut@

If you put http://MySite.com/P/?@4ATsy4DPut@ into a browser, it gives you a 404 so how can you be sure its the right embed code?!?

[The Geek]

Extraction is still possible, but only to grab 1 parameter :)

I don't fully understand what you're saying.

If you are on beta2a, upload all the files from the upload_into_forum folder in your beta 3b zip into your forum (overwriting all existing files).
Go to your product manager and browse to the includes/xml/product-ame.xml file and import (choosing to overwrite).

This is outlined in the readme.

Hi,

how must the code look like when I want to insert Videos from www.Trabzonum.TV with a Link like:

I just spent half an hour doing this one to match both examples you pasted. Please take the 2 seconds required to click install

[Big-Pete]

Im still getting an error when I update file cache via amecp, the error says could not find phrase 'ame_saved' any ideas what i've done wrong? im on ame 3 beta 3?

Also, when i paste a youtube URL im only getting the video info show as a link not the player as i did with ame 2.5 ??

EDIT: Sorted the player not showing, I had my numpty head on ;) just removed my numpty head and sorted the player out..

[The Geek]

the error is just a missing phrase. Actually, its a misnamed phrase. It won't have any bearing on how the system works.

Do you have AME2x uninstalled? If so have you rebuilt the posts to convert the old ame codes?

[jaffaman]

How do you go about adding break.com ?

I was looking at the old Break xml i have tried but i have no idea what i am doing lol i have tried.


Regex URL.........
http://]*[a-z]*?[\.]?break\.com/index/([\w-]+)\.html

break emb.........
<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="400" height="345" data="http://embed.break.com/$p1/{vb:raw code}">
<param name="movie" value="http://embed.break.com/$p1/{vb:raw code}" />
<param name="wmode" value="transparent" />

[halino]

thanks a lot.. it works fine and now it's marked as installed too :up:

[The Geek]

How do you go about adding break.com ?

Just been looking into this. Looks like they have obfuscated the code like a few others recently. That basically means that you cannot get the video 'code' from the URL or the destination page. In other words, its a no go at least as far as I can see. :(

[jaffaman]

Ok thanks for looking in to it for me :)

[The Geek]

Ok, a bit more creativity and I finally cracked it :)

I clearly don't like being beaten down :D

nJoy

[jaffaman]

Mmmmm not working for me ? the post just shows up blank but when i edit the post the url shows...
http://www.break.com/index/fat-guy-lake-cannonball-fail.html

[The Geek]

The above link works for me?

AME is doing its thing, hence the video code looking like it is. That means AME found it as a match, went to the website and grabbed the ID (1594731) and wrapped it all up for vB4's video parser. So not too sure what to say :(

*edit - attached is a screenie of the video above on my test board. This is editing the message so AME has already wrapped in [video] tags and shows like yours.

HTHs

Ok i just checked with I.E and its works but not useing firefox.

Sorted out the break definition not working in FF. Re-uploaded it into the earlier post.

THanks!

Hi

The url is valid with the our domain name. It links to an embed adobe shockwave file (not flash video). I would love to pay a reasonable fee if you can fix the problem. Let me know if you have a few hours to do this :)

Thanks
WC

[The Geek]

its not really the hours, I just need to see examples of what combinations of URLs there are and what the expected embed code would be. Right now I can't do that based on the information you supplied :(

[way2xtreme]

PM sent, thanks ;)

[jaffaman]

[compact123]

yes sir i did, this is wrong? :)

http://img231.imageshack.us/img231/4568/adszys.png

[The Geek]

and you edited the hook mentioned and saved?

If so can you be a little more specific than "doesn't work?" i.e. can you link to a post that should be linking but isn't?

[cooltechie]

Used the 2.x version, uninstalled and now using this version.

Safe to delete the entire old amecache folder now?

Working so far. Thanks!!

[macjoshua]

Hit there,

is there a chance to youse the AME with my own flv-files? What should I do to work with it?

[kalliey]

Hello, thanks for this Hack, it works fine. :)

But where can i find the definitions for myvideo.de ?

[The Geek]

Yup. Safe to delete all 2x files. These should all be listed in the ReadMe if you need em.

Hit there,

I only occasionally do requests and haven't ever done any local hosted content, DJ was the master at that. I suspect he may whip some out soon (if we send him enough love) :)

Hello, thanks for this Hack, it works fine. :)

There aren't any that I know of. AME is still in Beta (till vB can fix the bug) and has just come out. Give it some time and the definitions will start to fall like Rain in Blackpool.

[wheres me jumpa]

Installed and working. Many thanks.

[wildweaselmi]

Works great on my site.

Only thing missing is support for local swf files like we had in version 3.8

Anyway that might be coming back and if so a rough idea when? All my QUIZZES utilize locally hosted swf files since no real good test taking mod exists. Using your mod and swf files worked VERY well in 3.8 so I am really really really hoping that locally hosted swf files will still be supported in 4.x

Thanks again for the great work "The Geek!"

[Digital Jedi]

I don't mind doing a new set manually if I have to. The only problem we're going to run into is testing these. I know from doing these for the last year or so that a definition that works the first time is cause for a celebration, or at least a drink. I usually have to test a dozen or so to make sure they're working. Without a vB 4.0/AME 3 test board, it will be tough to make sure they're working and be tough to work out any mistakes in the code or RegExps. I might have to make them all Beta.

OK Got the first part but what do I do with this bit.

Then Edit the plugin titled: AME - Auto Convert URLs. And click save

????? Many thanks :)

[Digital Jedi]

Okay, so just to be sure since I have to work these from the inside out, let me know if I've got the tags compared correctly.

<item> = <def>
<id> = <providerid>
<title> = <tagoption>
<description>
NEW = <url>
<displayorder>
<findcode> = <regex_url>
<replacecode> = <embed>
<status>
<container>
<embedregexp> = <regex_scrape>
<extraction>
<gdef> = <priority>
<ameid>
<validation>

[The Geek]

Okay, so just to be sure since I have to work these from the inside out, let me know if I've got the tags compared correctly.

<item> = <def> yup
<id> = <providerid> yup
<title> = <tagoption> title = provider
<description> Yup
NEW = <url> Yup. This is the home page. Links the Provider in the 'popup' media box.<displayorder> displayorder = priority
<findcode> = <regex_url> Yup
<replacecode> = <embed> Yup. Only takes 1 param though: {vb:raw code}
<status> yup
<container> yup
<embedregexp> = <regex_scrape> Yup
<extraction> Yup. asserted if regex_scrape contains value
<gdef> = <priority>
<ameid> ameid = tagoption
<validation>

So to recap:

providerid (was id) isn't really used on insertion anyway
provider (was title). A User friendly name for definition. Appears in the media popup box linked
url (new). A link to the provider home page. Used with Provider name to provide user friendly link in video popup box
tagoption (was ameid). A unique textual key to identify defintion
regex_url (was findcode). The regex to match the URL. Grabs the 1 parameter unless regex_scrape is specified
regex_scrape (was embedregexp). The regex that will return 1 match from the destination page.
embed (was replacecode). This is the html with {vb:raw code} in it. It actually gets build into the bbcode_video template.

Others are discontinued.

HTH's :)

Thats a bug with AME'fy, not AME3. ALl it means is that you haven't set up an entry in AME'fy yet. Set one up and it goes away. Ill see if I can update the package today to fix this.

[movslow]

You replied over there to this message.

http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php?334923-Youtube-videos-not-resizing-in-CMS

Have you gotten the issue w/the CMS worked out, where it will resize them ?

[The Geek]

There is no issue with the CMS and AME. If you uninstall AME you will see the exact same problem using vB4's video popup because the problem is vB4.

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.
