vb.org Archive - Major Additions - AME 2.5 - Media Embedding for posts, sigs, vm's, groups and blogs

Chadi, looking back through my bookmarks, it looks like you would have needed to run whatever conversion tools Goldbrick may have had (presuming it had any) that would convert [media] back to URL. Otherwise, I don't believe there is a way with 2.5's tools to properly convert a single tag wrapped around multiple URLs from multiple sites.

Would anyone here know about this?

This was working good for a long time until today.

It would take over 2 minutes for a page to load on my site. By disabling AME (and only AME) in the control panel my site is back up to speed again.

If I re-enable it the slow page loads start again. So it is disabled for now.

Anyone have this happen to them before?

I went in and uninstalled the mod.

Once it was done uninstalling I went in and reinstalled it and now things are good again. I am not sure what gotmessed up in it but glad I have it working again. :)

Looks like a great mod. Hope to implement it today and get it up and running trouble free.

I too am looking to be able to embed widescreen videos such as provided by youtube. Hope the following post by ghostpt does the trick.

I really can't remember if I change my Youtube definitions (Admin CP > AME CP > DisplayDefinitions > Youtube) so here it goes:

Code:

<object width="$ameinfo[width]" height="$ameinfo[height]">

<param name=''movie'' value="http://www.youtube.com/v/$p1&ap=%2526fmt%3D18&fs=1"></param>

<param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param>

<embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/$p1&ap=%2526fmt%3D18&fs=1&hl=pt-br&fs=1&color1=0x234900&color2=0x4e9e00&border=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="$ameinfo[width]" height="$ameinfo[height]" wmode="transparent"></embed></object>

I'm getting HQ Widescreen on all videos. Hope it helps.

Awesomeness!

Thank you so much, The Geek, for this most excellent mod. Brilliantly designed and brilliantly implemented. Best mod I've come across so far. Obviously a lot of skilled work went into this. I applaud you for the excellent work and for kindly sharing it with us. :)

Btw, the setting that I've come up with to give me the same exact widescreen setting that youtube uses is 385x650. I don't know how this will impact those vids that are of the smaller 4:3 format. I assume they'll just be embedded inside the same size object dimensions that I've set as the default, and will just have the vertical black bars on the left and the right of the displayed vid. But no problem living with it that way.

Thanks again. :)

I'm currently having a problem when I enable file cache.

I get the following error:

Quote:

AME can not write to /public_html/forums/amecache/. Check permissions to ensure path is writeable.

Well, I checked the permissions and the path is indeed writeable. I have this mod set up on a test forum on my local machine and everything works just fine when I enable file cache, and I don't get that error message.

Anybody have any idea what might fix this problem? Like I said I double checked each step along the path to make sure it's writeable. I then uninstalled using the Product Manager and reinstalled to see if that would help, but nope, didn't help.

AME shouldn't have any effect on page load, other than pages where AME is actually being used. And even then, page load would only be affected by the videos in question. Only other thing I think it could be is a mod conflict.

Are you certain the path is correct? The full path will usually start above public_html and include your domain and hosting user name: Ex: home/[username]/public_html/[domain name]/forums/amecache

Thanks for responding Digital Jedi, and thanks for your valuable contributions here.

Yes, I truncated for simplicity.

Just as a check, I uninstalled and deleted all the files, then uploaded all the files and then re-installed the product-ame.xml file. And I'm still getting the same error message in the AME CP, even after ensuring that the path was correct and writeable.

Should I ignore it?

Correction. I should have said /home. That first slash can make a difference. You said it was writable, but is it fully CHMODed? The permissions need to be 777.

I double checked and, no, it apparently wasn't fully CHMODed. So I manually set the permissions to 777, and now I'm not getting the error or warning message.

So this means that "User" and "Group" and "World" have Read, Write, & Execute permissions when set to 777, is this how it should be?

If so, I'm good to go, apparently. Please confirm if this is how I should have it set up.
