No, I don' t have a youtube account. Then you seem to report the same as eagle eyes.

I doubt there is much you can do about it. For me it looks more like a bug in youtube. Why do you want to keep registered users from seeing embedded videos? Only the other way around makes sense - keeping unregistered users from viewing.

I'll try and get you an updated definition set in my thread this weekend guys. I'm just going to be real busy for the next few days.

This doesn't upload media. This merely embeds media already hosted somewhere.

How about videos that have been uploaded to my server and placed in video gallery? Is there a way to get those embedded into post?

In most cases, yes. First you'd need the Local Hosted definitions which are available in my Add-On. Then you'd need to make sure that all your uploaded media ends in unique extensions; meaning DIVX videos end in .divx, MOV videos end in .mov, etc. You can inquire more about it in one of my threads.

Hi Geek,

This is an incredible modification and it deserves Mod of the month award.

I know you've been slammed with so many requests, so I will add one more :)

Have you considered to create a vBAdvanced module to display latest/most viewed/random videos from posts which are coming from AME modification codes.


This thread has such a module and also explains how to create a module for latest videos inside a post, but its limited by only when you already have defined a custom BB Code for single source videos (youtube, metacafe etc..). and its not generalized as AME.

http://www.vbadvanced.com/forum/showthread.php?t=19064&highlight=videos&page=2


AME goes further, because you don't need to enter your BB Codes. It has an universal BB Code [ame]. I tried to enter ame in above module settings but it wasn't working because URL were becoming in the form of

http://www.youtube.com/v/www.youtube.com/watch?v=n_HAHiJjBls

which clearly is not correct because url is displaying twice. Removing www.youtube.com from the template wasn't working too because it was then displaying all of the youtube page inside the specific frame size that you set in module options




Long story short: I believe someone can make a module to display videos from AME and I appreciate if you can advise how to display them on vBAdvanced too.

Thanks.

Val.

Hello,

please check this post:
http://www.xbass.ro/forum/showpost.p...6&postcount=24

It has that video that does not want to work. If you click the link and go to youtube the video is playing, but then, the video says it's not available.

Also I have a member who told me that none of his videos are loading, I told him that it's from him but he sais it's only not loadig on that website... even if it works fine with me on both IE & FireFox.

Also I tried posting that video on a phpBB forum with a youtube addon and the video is working.

Very strange.

Ah, I had the 2.0.2 version, now I have put the RC version. Same problem.

I have found that this occurs while youtube is upgrading their servers or doing maintenance. Works on the youtube site, but doesnt work on embedded video's.

Check it again in a couple hours, it may start working.

PET 12-09-2008 08:39 AM

I did. That problem I had was since the last week. I tried to post the link on a different forum, or so... same thing. It woudn't be a problem for me, but the client told me ... it's not working.

jerx 12-09-2008 09:53 AM

I think that problem cannot be solved.

Many Youtube music videos cannot be embedded. I assume it is either because of copyright issues or because embedding has been denied by the uploader.

Yahoo links are not working for me either. Is there an ETA for this to be fixed or am I misunderstanding and it's something we need to do? If the later would you please give easy instructions? :)

Google doesn't seem to work either. Maybe I'm not doing something right? :shrug: It's just drop in the link right? They don't use the embed code itself right? FWIW YouTube works fine for members and myself.

Digital Jedi 12-09-2008 12:00 PM

YouTube just did a massive overhaul, so they'll have to be looked at again once they've finished up with whatever it is they're doing. The other sites will have to be looked at again too. If your subscribed to the updates in my Add-On threads, then you know I will be looking at this over the course of the week and that I'm in the process of trying to get more organized.

I had the same, but after uninstall/install the big one disappear.
But now I have only a small video, I have set height="400" in the code but that only change the frame. The video still shows up very small.

Any help is highly appreciated.

a squared 12-10-2008 05:46 PM

I modified the code in the Replacement code for YouTube to the dimensions that I like.

Go to the AME CP in your Admin CP, then Display Definitions>>"You Tube
"Automatically youtubes your entries!>>Media Definition Code>>Replacement Code

Here's my code:
Code:

<object width="500" height="412">
<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" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="500" height="412" wmode="transparent"></embed></object>

You have two YouTube definitions, and it looks like your running 2.5, as it appears you have one that's following the sizing options and one that isn't. You need to delete one of them.

On 2.5, the height and width variables can be set under Settings.

You should really discuss this in my thread, but did you make the necessary edits as outlined in the first post of my thread for Local Hosted Videos?

Thank you. I'll subscribe to those as well then. I just wanted to see if this mod worked okay and the way I hoped before adding on the add ons. :)

So far my members seem very happy just to be able to add YouTube video. That's the one my board members will use most often anyway probably. :)

geni57 12-10-2008 10:34 PM

Ok, I've read everything here I can think of, nothing has helped me.

I have a VB 3.7.2

I downloaded the 2.0.2 zip file.

My forum does not have a "forums" folder it's just all in the root directory.

First I'll state my problem then what I've done.

I have no AME CP

I uploaded the following

In my root directory is VB I open VB and get the following folders:

admincp
archive
clietnscript
cpstyles
customavatars
customprofilepics
images
includes
install
modcp
signaturepics

First I went to admin cp
In that folder I uploaded the following: automediaembed_admin

Next I went to the Images folder and uploaded amazon_icon

Next I went to Includes folder and uploaded the following:
ame_bbcode and the cpnav_automediaembed xml document and the hook_automediaembed xml document

Next I went to my admin panel and imported the product-ame xml document

ALL of the above files are there as I've checked.

I found the AME Settings but there is NO AME CP anywhere..

In the AME Settings I see the following...
The maximum amount of characters to display in the title (note you can use the AME CP for this option)

I can click on AME CP and something comes up.. but it's just the SETTINGS.

There is no AME CP anywhere.. .

What did I do wrong??

Help please.

a squared 12-11-2008 01:33 AM

I sort of realized the double definitions on the way home from work. I disabled one and tada it worked! I am running v2.0.2 though. I didn't know that 2.5 was a stable release. Is it?

The thread you downloaded the DIVX definition from. You didn't get it from this thread, you got it from my Add-On thread (which is linked in the first post). Post what changes you made in that thread so I can take a look at them.

Help please.

You probably added a few files to the wrong place since you added them individually like that. That's not at all necessary, as the files are already configured in the order they need to be in. Just drag and drop the contents in one swoop and it will add everything in every folder it needs to be in.

As for the forums folder, that's just in the event your forum root is located in a folder of that name. In that case, you could just grab that folder and overwrite it onto your existing forums folder. But as I said above, since you don't have that, you'd just grab the contents of that folder in one swoop and let it overwrite into your forum root directory.

It looked like you were running 2.5 because one was smaller then the other. I guess maybe me and The Geek had our YouTube dimensions set differently,

Most comments I've heard is that it's running fine in a production environment, with only a couple of bugs in a couple of individual cases.

Hi Guys,

Just installed your great mod (rc1) and have one small problem.

I had previously been using passivevid and needed a replacement and unfortunately I can not seem to get all the old urls to automatically work for this hack.

I assume because it has not added the [AME] tags to the urls.

Passivevid does not add any tags to the urls so they're in their virgin state so hopefully am I just missing an option to scan old messages to change the youtube urls to [ame] tags or is there no such option?

Thanks in advance.

ps: I've tried the conversion and it says it finds nothing to convert!!

nerofix 12-14-2008 07:37 PM

Nice work, can you add the possibility to get this working in custom profile fields too?

The older posts wouldn't convert unless there was some way to replace older tags. In that case, the posts would need to be re-saved.

bbcentral 12-16-2008 01:25 PM

Silly question, but why does this need to support Amazon?

From what I can see in the description and the code, it searches Amazon links for an ASIN (product ID), and then modifies the link to point to the Amazon product page.

So doesn't it essentially just simplify the link to make it shorter?

And what about if someone is deliberately linking to a specific Amazon URL, such as a list of the 3rd party sellers for the item. Will this replace that link with one pointing to the product page?

The only real use I see for Amazon support is that you could modify the links to include your Amazon affiliate link, which could definitely come in handy :)

For the moment, it seems the post has to be edited to get the video to embed. We don't know just yet if the The Geek will have time (or can) change that.

It's there to demonstrate that this mod does more then convert media. It will take a grotesquly long link like this:

HTML Code:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0000013G3/ref=s9subs_c6_15_img1-rfc_g1_si1?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=center-5&pf_rd_r=0EHN0PCM9M858EF4FAVT&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=463383431&pf_rd_i=507846
And convert it to this:

Attachment 90675 Amazon.com: Boomerang: Original Soundtrack Album...

And yes, it can be configured to include your Affiliate ID automatically. In my add-on thread we have a definition someone created that will convert them to this:

Attachment 90674 Attachment 90676 Attachment 90677

I've also done the same for a CafePress definition as well as a formatted download link for zSHARE links. The point is, this is capable of formatting far more then just media.

Finster 12-17-2008 02:46 AM

One of the things I liked about Goldbrick was it did the whole Highslide thing where the video or images lightbox.

Any plans on this feature?

I do like that this mod seems to be well supported.

Any up to date examples of this hack on any forum anywhere?

Digital Jedi 12-17-2008 03:13 AM

I don't want to speak for The Geek too much, but I know it will be a while before he does anymore major updates to the modification. He usually does them so well they don't need too much support, other then tweaking the definitions. I'm curious how the lightbox would work with the unique things that AME can embed, which is sometimes just auto formated links.

I'm about to open my development subforum here in a few. I've been debating doing this but this should give you a good idea of what the mod can do.

It's not an odd problem at all. You have two copies of the same YouTube definition. You probably imported the definitions from my thread without deleting the stock definitions that come with AME.

Finster 12-17-2008 06:50 PM

DJ, nice forum you have. Ligthboxing seems to be a popular thing these days. Whether one types in a url to a video or image, Goldbrick usually rendered the photo or video as a thumbnail, then upon clicking git, it opened it up full size with the lightbox effect from the Highslide folks.

The problem with Golbrick is it is poorly supported and buggy. I can't blame him, it IS free, but I would rather pay and get support and updates than get something free.

Most Golbricked videos also show a thumbnail image taken from the video which tends to make people want to click on it and view it, but half the time it just shows a lame blue M.

I don't know what would happen to the existing video links if one switched from Goldbrick to AME....
