I've never done it but I think that is what it is for, yes.

Still not having short youtube links to work. Anyone else have this problem?

Here is one that will not work. I have to use the "long" url version.

This is the regular expression I have:

And the replacement:

The regular expression should be:

It was missing the - after the \w in the first parameter.

\w = any latter or number or underscore (but it doesn't match the dash (-) so you have to add the dash manuall because youtube ID's can have dashes in them.

I'm not sure if those double ?'s are right but if it works with other videos but not all I'm sure the dash is the problem.

Reposting from last page:

This GameSpot video isn't parsing:

http://www.gamespot.com/the-secret-w...video-6349173/

It appears that GameSpot has changed their video URL scheme. Almost all that I can find at http://www.gamespot.com/videos/index.html are www.gamespot.com / <gamename> / videos / videoname-videoid which doesn't match either of the conditions in the two GameSpot definitions (at least what my limited knowledge of expressions tells me).

The current expressions and replacements for GameSpot are:

Thanks BirdOprey5.. the dash was the problem. Although I took it straight from djs download and the regular youtube doesn't have the dash after the w.

But hey.. it works!

Yikes. Over 1800 posts. if this has been asked before, I apologise.

How would I alter the xml file so that the locally hosted .mp3s definition works with *any* mp3, regardless of location? So if a user posts the URL of an MP3 it's embedded instead.

I tried messing with the xml file, but I really don't know what I'm doing. Looks like I need to replace the bit which says:

With something else - some kinf of wildcard.mp3 or something.

Anyone got any ideas?

Morrus,

That won't work. AME is based off of recognizing specific patterns. If something is too general then it would start thinking all your text is media links and that would be a bad thing.

Forcing the link to correspond to a known URL where only a small part of the file name changes keeps those bad things from happening.

You will need to put some limitations on where the mp3 file is located.

You also don't edit the xml file... In Admin CP -> AME CP -> Add New Definition is where you would add/edit a definition.

That's a shame. Unfortunately I'm using a bunch of RSS feeds to create a "podcast megafeed", which links directly to the podcast audio files, so the URLs are all different. The only thing they have in common is that they're all audio files.

Although I personally don't recommend it, something like this as your Regex can theoretically work. Just know that you might run into pattern recognitions in posts when you don't want it to.

I'd recommend thoroughly testing it out first on your demo board.

Does youtube work for anyone else?

Ive tried deleting and reimporting the definition xml and rebuilding post and rebuilding cache and nothing fixes it.
