Looking to upgrade to VB4 but could not find this mod available for 4. Is there another mod/feature that replaces this mod in VB4 or its just not yet available?

NM.. found it... AME3 - Auto Media Embeding and Video Extender

Is there a great deal of coding involved in creating a definition?

Check out this article - https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=263707

Once again, THANK YOU very much for the link, article, and assistance BOP.

I have replaced the YouTube regular expression on my site with the following code:

The reason is that sometimes there are links in the following format:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature...ded&v=video_id

And when users enter such a URL with the default embed code, this link doesn't work because of the extra parameter before the "v".

With the above code it works though.

Just upgraded to 4.2 - Anyone know how do I fix all the threads now?

Do i have to go through every single one and edit them?

Sorry for sounding like a n00b but I just installed this mod on my forum...

1) I don't know how to get my youtube videos to embed on my forum?

2) This mod seems complex... how can I optimize it? to a) not bog down my forum in the future and b) keep things running smoothly overall.

Sorry I don't have time to read 110 pages!

It's not complex, and was actually designed to run lighter than BBCode. But the default definitions are not up to date. My thread is linked in the add-on section above. They're not entirely up-to-date either, but the YouTube definition in that thread should still work just fine. You don't need to read the entire thread. But the first few posts of both The Geek's and my thread can be pretty helpful. My FAQ is also just a bit more current.

Thanks for the reply.... sorry for sounding like a n00b... I just don't wanna mess anything up.

My main reason for putting this on my forum is to embed youtube videos. All I need to do (after I install AME) is to upload your XML defintion in the settings and that will allow me to embed youtube videos?

Import the XML using the AME CP in your Admin CP. You'll be presented with a big list of definitions, but there are two YouTube definitions (alphabetically) towards the bottom. Be sure to check my FAQ first for a list of common problems when doing that for the first time.
