Not too sure here. Sounds like the script is either timing out or there is an error in one of the definitions that you are importing on the large file.

You shouldn't have to. The only time you won't see the change is if the post you are looking at is cached in the postparsed table.

I can only take a guess here and say that it is the javascript that AME includes. I haven't tried this, but if you do not hide AME from certain usergroups, try disabling the AME : Permission Hide hook.

Isn't this attachment passive video? If so, it needs to be uninstalled for AME to work.

Fixed in 2.5.6

Just import the latest product-ame.xml and then uninstall it.

can you go into the details on the last step for the upgrade

Installation/Upgrade

* Upload the contents of the forums folder into your forums directory and import the product-ame.xml file into your product manager (if upgrading, choose 'yes' to overwrite previous installation).
* After installation, make sure that the system is on (admincp->AME CP->Settings)
* Then you may want to try to rebuild old URLs via the tools option.

there's a lot of options for that last step.

how do we update the postparsed table?

The last step is optional (mainly for new installations). Admincp > AME CP > Tools > Rebuild: posts, blogs, etc...

That allows you to ame'fy old posts, blogs, etc...

If you have mysql access, you can run the following SQL:

Though I would only recommend that you do this if you know what you're doing. :)

HTHs

After upgrading and trying to rebuild cache I get this message:
What does it mean?

it means (s)he's in love

ok, last question i hope. lol

is postparsed used for ame? just wanna make sure nothing else uses it before i truncate it.

i'll do a backup first but it shouldn't be a big deal to truncate a table. thanks.

postparsed is a cache for recent vB posts.

Depending on your settings, vB will save the contents of a post after it has processed the BBcode a short period of time. This way, vB can save time processing recent posts. Preparsed contains these recent processed posts. Emptying the table out just means that vB will need to re-cache those recent posts again.

^^ This.

And "Your Settings have been saved" is sooooooo boring :)

great, thanks!

ps- good luck with you know what. ;)

I think it's not the timing out, it takes about 15 seconds, which is ok.

Maybe one or more definition is problematic? :(

And I have to say I'm very glad you already work on vB4 version of AME. It's an excellent add-on, a must!

Upgrade, followed instructions to the letter... older video still shows YouTube- Broadcast Yourself.

BUT newly posted video now shows YouTube

so it has changed but it's still not pulling the video name.

Any ideas?

That is an indication that your server isn't allowing any remote calls. Note that there are 2 spots where extraction may be off. First one is globally in amecp>settings and the other is by editing the definition itself. Check that both of those are on.

Also remember that if the contents of the post have been cached by vB, you won't see these changes right away. Best bet is to paste a new URL into a post and/or edit/save an existing.

I quadruple checked and rebuilt everything, posted new youtube vids and it's still the same, says YouTube not the vid name.

I know my dedi server is properly set, I had no problem before this youtube business.. other definitions are working properly... and I have '8wayruns Video' Directory Remixed installed and it pulls the YT name with no issues.

hummmmm

Are you using the default definition? You can PM me temp admincp details and Ill take a look.

Does this work on 4.0?? I have ame bbcode tags everywhere and have no way to remove them. I was a dummy and forgot to remove the tags before a upgrade.

I am not rushing the coder to upgrade or anything just asking if this works on 4.0 it doesn't seem to have templates so it might still work. I am just worried to install it messing up the tables or some crap.

So this question is to anyone that has tried to use it on 4.0

No this doesn't work on 4.0

A 4.0 version will be coming, but it won't use AME tags. Your best bet is to try and run the ame cp->tools->rebuild tools to remove AME tags from posts. Then uninstall.

Thanks for the feed back I will remember to do that when I do the actual live upgrade.
I been doing test upgrades. Its nice to know this for the real deal.

Thanks again look forward for the 4.0 version.

<font face="courier new">This thing is amazing! I don't know how I didn't come across it earlier.
Thanks a lot man!</font>

hey, after upgrading to 2.5.6 all YouTube videos are not displaying right. The video will display twice and in between the 2 videos is some HTML code.

Doesnt matter which youtube video I try, they all do the same thing. I'm going to test some of the other sites to see if its more than just youtube

I've re-uploaded all the files and re-imported the xml file, too....same problem.

ideas?

2 YouTube videos means you have two YouTube definitions. When you upgrade AME, the default definitions are reinstated, YouTube and Amazon, which are different from the YouTube and Amazon definitions that come with my add-on, which I assume you have imported.

aha! i didnt see those 2 extra def's. thanks for that!

Hi, I am having the same issue. it's a new forum, but on a server with other forums (and AME works great on those)

I have checked the setting in AMECD>settings and in the youtube settings....but when we post a youtube video it pull the "YouTube- Broadcast Yourself. " with an icon next to it that indicates "external embedding not available" on all the youtube links

I tried deleting all the definations and re-adding them, I am using DJ's Master XML (Delta) that didn't work either. Help :)

You will only get the external embedding not availible message if the definition has a value for the 'validation' setting and the page doesn't validate. 2.5.6 should have removed your validation from your youtube setting, however if you are using the file cache, you will need to rebuild. I am not sure if DJ's youtube stuff uses validation.

So... follow these steps:
1- Make sure you are on 2.5.6
2- Edit your youtube definition to make sure the 'validation' setting is empty
3- Save the definition anyway (that will rebuild your cache)
4- Edit and save one of the posts you were having problems with

That should sort it.

Regarding the page name not appearing, that indicates that your server isn't able to make remote calls or that the settings are disabled. Check with your host,

HTHs

Thanks a bunch for the quick reply!!!

it was this one..
2- Edit your youtube definition to make sure the 'validation' setting is empty

mine wasn't empty....now it is..and all is well!!! Thanks Again!

I honestly don't remember adding it, but I've been wrangling with my YouTube definitions for so long trying to get the HD to work in a practical way, I may have forgotten.

Do you have a rough ETA of AME for version 4.0? (Not wanting to rush you).

Its pretty much done however a bug was introduced into vb4 after Beta 5 that stops the whole system dead in its tracks. I believe it is sorted for next release though. Once I can verify that, I should have AME3 up in about 24 hours.

Excellent.

But, I read you said that AME tags must be removed before upgrade. I understood (I may be wrong) that AME puts it's tags in moment of posting, and after that, it's in the post, you don't need to remove AME tags. So, old tags in my opinion should work fine, just new ones need to be put in place.

Well, should we remove AME tags before upgrade? And recreate after?

metacafe is not flying for some reason :confused:

Because in vb4, AME uses vbs new [video] tag, the old [ame] tags will become redundant. Because of this and many internal changes, the upgrade path will actually look like:

1- uninstall AME2.x but leave the [ame] tags intact
2- install AME3
3- Run conversion tool which will convert ame tags into video tags.

If a video definition doesn't exist for the [ame] tag you are converting, it will be turned into a link.

Just like previous versions of AME, AME3 allows you to add, edit, delete, export and import definitions however pre AME3 definitions will not be compatible because of the way AME integrates with vB's video processor.

By default, AME doesn't come with metacafe, you need to let the author of the definition know.

Any update on the status? Not to rush you but I even tried to use BBcode to convert the AME links to [video], but no luck. We need AME for v4!!

Hi there,
I have been using AME on mysite to auto embed special external flash files with prameters to each file (NOT flash videos). Is there a way for those to continue working in vb4?
Many, many thanks for the great plug in and I wish you a great holiday season.

As I said about 4 posts up... vb4 introed a bug in beta 5 that hasnt been fixed yet. This bug is why AME isn't out yet. AME3 should be out within a day after next vb4 release (pending bug fix and no new bugs that affect the system)

Not with AME3 as it stands. Reason being that its actually vB that is handling the parameters now and it only allows for 1 parameter. I believe that someone mentioned that an earlier version of AME works so you can check that out. I am also looking at some 'other' applications for ame so Ill keep this in mind ;)

Also, please click install if you have installed :)

Thanks

FYI: AME3 beta released here -> https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=230707

Note the NOTE for vB4 RC4 users.

when i converted 12/9 release and ran ame - it broke ALL my amazon links. thumbnail still show but links all show as:

http://www.amazon.com/exe/c/obidos/

(no product or affiliate code)

and see attached screenshot of post errors. can u help?

i had to remove all ame tags until i can fix this!

When you upgrade AME, it reinstalls the two default definitions. One of them is Amazon, which doesn't include the affiliate link or thumbnail. That's why you were getting a thumbnail and regular link overlapping each other, because both the default and the one in my set of definitions are active. You need to delete the other definition.
