YouTube not working look by ur self ,,, and test

Thanks/

I tried looking through all the posts in here and in DJ's thread, but I was unable to find an answer, so I decided to post my problem in both threads... I couldn't figure out if I have an AME problem, or a problem with the definitions.

I have had the AME 2.5 installed for a long time now (on VB 3.8.5) and in order for just the regular YouTube to convert, I must have "extract destination data" turned off in the main settings. Turned on, YouTube won't convert at all. I have tried to turn on the "extract desitination data" in the main settings, and turn it off on the YouTube definition itself, but it still won't work unless it's off in the main settings. Just today I decided to install DJ's definitions, and none of them will convert at all, with the Extract Destination Data turned on or off. I have tried at several different sites to be sure (ESPN.com, CBSNews.com, Hulu, Gamesopoly) and made sure that embedding was allowed on all links, still nothing will convert, just the URL gets posted.

I assume it's me... I'm not the most proficient at all this. I did re-install AME 2.5, and did an overwrite of all files and xml, still to no avail. Any other info you need to help me, I would be glad to provide! Thanks.

What's that actually mean?

There isn't a setting for it in the general settings, from what I can see.

How long does the install typically take? Mine's been running for 15+ minutes now (4.7 million posts on my board) and, actually, on Chrome, my browser timed out so I don't know the current progress...

Hello! How to make a title in contain "YouTube- Some Title" like "YouTube - Some Title" (with a space between "YouTube" and "-")? I suppose it somewhere in templates but can't define where ..

Something seems to have changed when trying to extract titles from YouTube videos in the past few days. Whenever AME generates a title for a YouTube video via "extract destination data" it includes HTML/character entities (Example YouTube Title: "YouTube- ‪'How to Train Your Dragon' Trailer HD‬‎") in the title text along with the video title. It is doing this for all YouTube video titles regardless of any characters in the YouTube video page title.

Did something change at YouTube? Anyone know a fix for this?

There's a MegaVideo definition in my AME thread, avaiable in the Add-On section of the first post. However, I'm getting reports that I may need to update it.


Hey, we should probably have this discussion on my thread. Please bear with me as I try to catch up on all the support requests.


The newest definition for YouTube is available in the add-on section. The default version is not up-to-date.

Yes, under Settings in your AME CP there are fields to set the Height and Width of videos for each of the different regions videos appear in. They can also be set individually in each definition by editing the embed code.


Install itself shouldn't take all that long.

Presuming you have the most recent definition, you just need to allow Extraction. If you have that disabled it won't pull the title.


AME doesn't always convert the special characters included in some YouTube titles. There's a file you can edit, I don't quite remember at the moment which, where you can get it to accept certain characters, but it will still not convert a few because you can only set it to one type of encoding.

Thanks for getting back to me about this. This problem appears in all YouTube titles and it looks like YouTube made a change to their video title format -- a few other sites have mentioned this same issue, including:

Wonder if there is a way to fix this? Anyone know what the character entities translate to that YouTube is putting in their titles?
