vb.org Archive - Show Thread Enhancements - AME - Auto Media Embedding (youtube, Amazon, google, myspace, etc...)

Couple of things:

1) I have this working with 3.7 RC1. There were no problems.
2) I have this working with vbSEO. Again, no problems.
3) I wanted to use this to update links to Amazon with my affiliate code. I don't know if this came with an amazon link out of the box, or if it was one I uploaded, but never enabled - but anyhow, I've attached my updated amazon link updater.

It includes a picture of the book in the link, and uses the simplest amazon url that I could come up with. I use the options to place the link in a container - so the picture/link doesn't make a paragraph indecipherable. I attached a screenie, but here's a link to a thread that shows off what this does.

Once you've imported it, you have to go into your AME options and edit the "replacement text". Replace stopmomstop-20 with your own affiliate id. Or, heck, if you just like the feature and don't care about amazon commissions, leave it as is :D.

thanks.

For me it works only if I use the tags/

For example if i put only the address like that:
http://www.gametrailers.com/player/32309.html

It will only display the URL not the embed video.

However I I put the ame tags like that:
[ame]http://www.gametrailers.com/player/32309.html[/ame]

Is working.

Any Idea how to fix this??

I noticed that I did not see any clicks on my amazon account, so I checked the amazon discussion forums, and commented at beckism about the url format.

It appears that, the shortest url format that was recommended at beckism isn't working, but a slightly longer format does work, and I did find this format officially recommended by amazon at least once. Essentially, it's ending the url with ?tag=associatesid instead of /associatesid

I've updated the original xml file, and I'm also attaching it here.

For those of you wondering what I'm talking about, this is an AME xml file for converting amazon links to affiliate links and including a product picture as well. More details and a screenshot here.

My video link is here (I'd really like to get Putfile working on my site). http://media.putfile.com/A-ride-to-Helmsley

Edit: I'm using vb 3.6.8

Has anyone managed to get Putfile working yet ?

Guys, Stage6 has closed down. They were buggy, required all users to download their viewer, etc.

Now Vimeo has awesome HD and it works like the dogs bollocks as we say in the UK.

We REALLY need someone to make an add-on code for Vimeo videos as right now we get a 'failed to parse the url" message box within AME.

Help?

I think that's rather risky since those videos are exclusive to Hulu.com. I would not embed their videos.

:confused: :rolleyes: :confused:

If that's the case, then hulu.com should really remove the "share" and "embed" buttons on all of their video content.
