Sounds like YouTube has made changes which breaks this script. Without the conversion links to embedded videos there's no point in using this.

anybody find a fix for this yet? This is annoying. Youtube changed something in its coding that AME isn't jiving with

yeah this sucks

For those of you having the YouTube problems, you'll need to be sure you have cleared the content of your Validation Regex. You'll likely also need the YouTube definition from my thread, as that is more current than this one. Remember that changes to your posts have to be made manually, so just changing the definition won't fix anything. You'll need to reedit existing posts and possible resynch your file cache.

This is TOTALLY incompatible with passiveVid. Installing them together will create a HOST of issues you may not be able to undo. Besides, AME supports about a hundred more sites than passiveVid currently does. You just need to get them from my add on.


When looking to see if there's a new version of any modification, just look at the author's profile. All his modifications will be listed there.

I went from 2.5.5 - 2.5.6 and this corrected my issue. Thank You

Still broken. Guess it's time to uninstall this one. It simply doesn't work.

passiveVid doesn't change the tags like AME does, it's just ... passive. My forum has over 2 million posts and with AME I'd have to spend an hour running the script to update the old youtube links and then spend just as long if I ever needed to uninstall it and didn't want the left-over AME bbcode. With passiveVid all I had to do was click the "update forum counter" option which took like five seconds to run. So for youtube I'd prefer to use passiveVid however I'd like to use this script for everything else.

I already installed passiveVid and AME together on a test forum and the only negative effects that I'm aware of is double videos being posted unless I go into AME manually and delete the definitions for the sites that passiveVid already uses.

What other host of problems are you referring to that I wouldn't be able to undo?

I'm running AME 2.5.6 the Validation section of the Admin is blank and it's not working at all for me either.

I'm sorry to see this functionality go away.

Is there a way to add Amazon's tag also in the first link above the picture?

Right now the partner-tag only shows up in the picture-link and the link below the picture.

And all German characters get screwed up. Anything I can prevent this?

Example:



Thanks alot
