Thanks for the addon!

Question 1

I have @ 90 small avi clips hosted on my server and would like to use the mod for them. Is there a avi xml? Other wise I will need to convert them to another format, or is this statement incorrect?

Question 2

I have got the You Tube site working with out any glitches but when trying to get local hosted files to play I have not had any luck. I have attached what I have set all 5 local files to. I have marked up the attached photo with my settings, could someone take a look and see if I have done something incorrect. I have changed the folder that I have the videos in to chmd 777 also

Thanx in Advance!

Hi, i wonder why raw vegas dont work? Im running vb 3.7

Just an idea. Google Maps URL can be also converted to embedded object. Just change "source" -> "output" in posted URL, prior to embed into iframe.

Will post solution after 1 moth, if nobody do it before. No time to implement now. Still in progress of migration IPB -> vBulletin :)

Made a definition for recorded videos in Ustream.tv. I think i didnt make any mistakes as it is working properly for my forum.

please post this

For some reason the Vimeo code no longer works for me, I paste the link on my site http://vimeo.com/2025297 and it just shows the link and no video. Does this need updating ?


Edit: My forum mod has sussed it out for me, the www needs to be removed from the regular expression.

I see there are definitions for locally hosted videos, but will any of these definitions allow my members to embed videos that they are hosting on their own servers?

Hey Gang. Sorry I've been away. Had a lot to do over the last few weeks and still trying to catch up. You know how it gets sometimes. I'll try to take care of all your issues as soon as I can.

I'll have to give it a look. But in the meantime, post the links to the videos not working.


If you can manage to make it work, that would be great. The problem I had, though, was not being able to backreference the pertinent data.


Thanks, I'll be sure to look it over and add it to the next update.

Not so much removed, but more like it needs to be accounted for. There's more then one way to access Vimeo and those that do get their with the www will need it to remain. This will be addressed in the next update.


Locally Hosted means just that; video hosted on the local domain. For other member's sites to work, you'd need a definition for each of their websites.

I'll be sure to look it over when I catch up with my backlog.


I know this was a little while back, but do you still have the problem? I've worked on so many the last month, I don't recall if this is one problem I already addressed for the next udpate. But if it is a definition problem, it's been address for that release.


It depends on the song, most likely. Try to avoid embeding songs that have an expiration date, like from temp playlists (presuming they still do this). Mostly, it's just Imeem's funny coding practices. Although, I do have another update coming for them, so maybe this will address some of your issues.


I will look it over and let you know for sure.


I'm not certain, but I believe it depends on your version of AME. I'm trying to answer questions pretty fast since I'm back up here, so I didn't quite look back to what your problem was. But most of the time, changes I've made to definitons have adjusted older posts. There's also of the issue of chached pages, which can depend on your site and on the version of AME your running.


These are the definitions for the AME modification, so you'd have to import these through its built in import system to get support for the 170 sites. AME only comes with a handful of default supported sites to keep it lite. The import system allows for people like me to keep adding support for new sites, without the author having to do it himself and constantly upating, which is why (for the moment) we're way ahead of passiVid in terms of supported sites. Anyone can make a definition if they know what they're doing.

Your trying to use the source URL for Blip. You don't need to do that. Just use the link to the page the video is on, just like you would if you where posting the link to the video otherwise.


The Master XML is if you want to install all the supported definitions at one time.
The ZIP File is for those who want to pick and choose which sites to add.
Local Hosted is a seperate Zip file for video your hosting on your personal site.

I actually don't know what causes that, for sure. It only happens to me when I edit the video. Are you getting it when posted as new? If so, I may have to do something drastic for GameSpot.


I posted the code a page or two back. I'll have the new definitions available soon.


I will look into them for sure.


Your getting a database error, which could be any number of things. Make sure your importing them through the actuall AME CP, and not the Admin CP's Product Manager.


I will look into them also.


They done quite a bit of maintanace over the last month, as recent as two nights ago. It was halfway exprected, as I didn't really think the high quality setup they had would be permanant. It kind of felt like a test run.


You deleted the thread, so I can't check for you what you where doing. However, the Local Hosted are for specific media types: Flash, WMV, DIVX etc. It looks like you have your own embed code, so a special definition for your site would be required.


Possibly a change in the sites URL string. I "think" I just did an update for them on the last run through, but I'll have to check to be sure. Look for them on the next update.


If no one beats me to it, I'll look it over, too.


I'm afraid that is soley a GameSpot problem. I tested their embed code on a regular HTML page and got the same problem. I did a random Google search, and even videos posted on blogs and websites have the "undefined" problem. It's not related to the RegEx, it's something GameSpot is going to have to fix with their media.

If you've installed AME, you'll see you know have an AME CP, which is a new menu in your Admin CP.

As mentioned in the first post, this will not embed attachments. You need to post the physical location of the video, complete with it's media extention, like .flv, .wmv, .divx, etc. AME determines what to embed based on those unique identifiers, which is why it won't work with attachements, becasuse they all have the same URL string, like www.yoursite.com/attachment.php?123456. AME has now way of knowing if if that's a media attachment or a PDF file or a picture, much less which type of video it might be.


At one time, I tried making a AVI definition, but never got it working, and figured not too many people would be looking for one, so I abandoned it. You'd probably be better off converting them if you can. I believe DIVX has some tools to do so.

You don't need to do anything to the key, what you havn't done is change YOUR_SITE_NAME_HERE in the Regular Expression. Put your domain name in, just without the .com or .co.uk or however whatever your domain extention is.

Okay, if I skipped anyone, let me know.

Like I said, I've been swamped lately. I will get this update released. Just bear with me, as I'm only one man. :D

Wow... lots of questions answered. That's what we can call best tech support. Thanks Digital Jedi and keep up the good work !

Hi Dj,

I'm not expert em regex (yet), but I have changed (poor solution) this rule bellow:

http://videolog\.uol\.com\.br/video[\.ph]*\?[id=]*[\d]+

to:

http://videolog\.uol\.com\.br/video\.php\?id=([\w]*)

And work fine, I hope you can fix it in next update.

Thanks

Can someone help me to make xml for http://www.motionbox.com ?

Link to a video: http://www.motionbox.com/videos/ee9bdcb51f1fe464

I manage to solve it by my self. Tanx anyhow

Still no fix for liveleak videos?

http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=b2e_1224594978

What about the bikerpunks site, anyone have an import for that one?

http://bikerpunks.com/videos/the-wal...r-a-crash.html

So, I imported these and they seem to be working. But, the Amazon links (even after changing the 'tag=' to my own) are not going to where they should be going. The thumbnails show and it seems fine, but the thumbnail and the "amazon thumbnails" link under the pic are just going to my home page. Is there something else that I have to adjust?

Thanks DJ for the great upkeep of these files! :D

any1 have the xml for www.zipd.eu

Link for divx
http://zipd.eu/zVMBD4721S6r3.divx

and .avi is avi :)

Please Help! Thanks

raw vegas works now? :) cheers

For the "project playlist" players, should it work with simply the Playlist.com URL? It doesn't seem to work for me. Anyone else tried it and got it working by any chance?

Hey, neither am I. You just got to sort of throw yourself into it. I haven't gotten to Videolog yet, but I'll be sure to give yours a run through.


I'll still look into it, in case others want it. I usually do all requests.


I wasn't aware Live Link was down. But I am going through them all to make sure they're all working. I will also add Biker Punks to the list.


I'll add them to the list.

Must have been site maintenance.


It should be working based on the Playlist permalink, but I haven't tested it in a while. Haven't quite gotten to the Ps yet.


I'm thinking, as long as this is taking, I may do updates piece by piece.

DJ, you are THE man! :D

Let us know when you get to the "Ps" so that we can test it out.

Please add support for this: http://www.techcrunch.com/2008/10/25...within-videos/

Hi, glad to hear from you!
This link for example don't works.

http://www.rawvegas.tv/watch/scotty-...9fef0cbc827778

Any have the xml for http://www.jiwa.fr/

thanks ! :)

Excellent work! Is there any way of including www.motorsportmad.com in the video list?

Hi guys, I have searched through this thread and read all I can in regards to Blip.TV vids. I did import the blip xml file with apparent success. Blip (Permalink) and Blip (Show Pages) are showing in my media definitions in my AME CP.

But my video link is not showing the video.

This is the link to the page the video is on:
http://blip.tv/file/1413611

(I also tried the embed code and embed link)

Can anyone help me with getting the video to show on our forums? Thanks much!

anyone can fix this problem ?

You have a definition installed twice, disable one of them.

Anyone able to put together one for the Toronto Sun website? Here's an example:

http://www.torontosun.com/video/

Much, much appreciated if this is possible! :)

Please add heavy.com to your list of websites to integrate :)

I'm no expert on these defs, but I think IGN has changed their link style. I'm pretty sure they were working before, but now the link gets embedded and the header is the correct link,but the video is either non-existent or points to the wrong place. I'll look at the def and see if I can come up with a workaround and post it for review....

EDIT:
Well upon further review, it looks like they've started mixing their embedding styles... Here is the link I'm working with:

http://xbox360.ign.com/dor/articles/...st_102908.html

By looking at the IGN def it looks like it is looking for an object_ID code in the source html file, which for this particular page, there isn't one... I've tried embedding other videos from this site and it works fine. In this particular page, they have this javascript code in the header
Which is different than other pages on their site.... so I assume this means IGN is on it's way off the list????

No, it will just need to account for object or article, which are the two different type of video IDs. I have a fix for next update.

Is there a way to embed videos that are hosted at www.screencast.com? Thanks.

only have one installation.

How about adding the new MTV Music website?

http://www.mtvmusic.com

I've been looking into Screencast, but I'm troubled by how useful it would be, as I would only be able to support one media type, and I see the site uses multiple with now way to make AME tell which is which.


That's definitely what happens when you have two YouTube definitions installed.


If they don't block all they're worthwhile embeds, I'll be happy to add it.



Those of you who made other requests, I will look them over too.

Okay, let me get around to addressing these. I'm afraid we have a few problems with some of the requested sites.

They would have worked fine, but they don't offer any kind of permalink. So there's no way to even link back to a video. That's odd for a site to not offer direct links to their videos. (CNN notwithstanding)


I'm a little upset with this site. They kind of tricked me. I spent quite a bit of time sorting out the peculiarities in their URL/Embed strings, and finally worked it out, only to find the <iframe> they use for their so called embeds is just a picture of a DIVX player that links to the page the video is on. They are essentially lying that they supply embed code, so I'm none to happy with them right now.

Don't worry. I'll get back to them after I've had a chance to cool off. :mad: :rolleyes:



I can support the auto conversion so that links like that will convert to a player, but I do not know how to make the embed behave this way. I suspect it's a bit of javascript built into the YouTube site.


I have one which I'll post shortly, but it will only support media that's actually hosted on Apache Clips. Not anything hosted on another site like YouTube are anything like that.

The problem here is merely the lack of an embed code. Keep an eye out to see if they change this and let me know here.

And the problem here is also the lack of permalinks for vids. Everything is located on channel pages, but there's no way to extract unique video IDs.
