Okay, this is probably my fault. When I started this thread I inadvertently stated these defs were for 2.0+. That was a mistake and I thought I had removed all references to 2.0, but it looks like I left one towards the top. These definitions will only work with 2.5, which is why neither of you are getting any Height and Width attributes, because the size variables are just being stripped out. You will need to use the Third Times the Charm version of my definitions. Don't worry, I support both.

My mistake and I apologize for any confusion. I'm going to make sure all references to 2.0 are removed this time. You can simply delete all these existing definitions and then import the Master XML from my old thread.

Hi, and thanks for this wonderfull Mod

I am having some trouble embeding from 220

I have tried many ways

http://www.220.ro/cWwR6nCAKU/Safety-Truck.html

I am using AME 2.5 and DJ's Master XML 2.xml

MY Vbulletin is 3.7.3 PL1

ok thanks that helped....

I am suddenly getting weird stuff below the youtube video's

http://www.thecompletevegassite.com/...hread.php?t=53

220 is not loading for me at all, so maybe that's part of the problem. Perhaps the server is temporarily down.


Looks like you didn't delete your old definitions before importing another set.

Yes, i did...i even went in again, deleted youtube one...and imported new..still same, oh...and rebuilt the posts

Try saving the posts again. Rebuilding is mainly for uninstalling. According to your source code you have two YouTube blocks of code overlapping.

Thanks!! that did the trick

DJ, could you post your definitions, splited by separate sites, as in previous version?

I will sometime around the next udpate.

Any Update for Widescreen YouTube Videos?

Thank you for the explanation. I thought I was going mad :p

Ive taken the plunge and upgraded to AME 2.5 RC1 :)

By the next update, I should have something. There's another project that's kind of in limbo right now. I'm waiting for that to come together, but as soon as it does, I have to jump on that project first, and the update to the definitions afterwards. That's the theory anyway. The way things are going I may have the update first, but just to belay false hopes, I'm just saying "soon". Maybe "next" is a better term.

I'd like to confirm that the Amazon links dont work for me either :(

It generates the thumbnail but the http link is duff!

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated :)

Thanks

VJ...

Did either of you download my temp fix from a few days ago?

Erm No :o I did speed read the last few pages so I'd missed it :o

I have now though and it works :up: although it does display a bit weird

Thank you very much for the temp fix :D

im having trouble getting the site embedded stuff to work right.... i know we are supposed to edit the site names so im guessing maybe i didnt change everything that was needed.

([http://]*[\w]*[\.]*aggiefans\.[\w/&;%-\.]+\.pdf)

its semi working but all of my pdf files are doing a popup saying invalid pdf URL for every pdf i have. i can see it going to the pdfmenot website trying to do it.

wow nice hack ! but where can i download the latest files ?

regards

I get the invalid PDF error very now and again too. PDFMENOT has trouble with certain types of encryption, like PDF files who have their Copy/Paste function disabled. Essentially, if it can't read the file, it can't convert it to flash.

The most common error, however, is failing to put the HTTP:// before the URL. PDFMENOT has to know the full URL to the file.

If that doesn't work, try testing your files at the webiste directly and see if you still get the error: http://www.pdfmenot.com/ Try both upload and entering a URL.



I'm not sure what you mean, these are the latest files. Do you mean AME itself? If so, there's a link at the top of my first post to the modification.

thanks for the suggestion.... i have the http in there and i did try at the pdfmenot website and it looked fine (tried both ways).

Ill PM you an example of the file im trying to use if you want.... its google analytics reports (we post em for our paid members so they can keep track of our stats)

Love it, here's my example hosting my own mp3 from my server, http://www.phototherapy.org/forums/showthread.php?t=14 using VB 3.8. One thing that I noticed though, if you're editing a post, it always changes "ame" in the BB code brackets back to "url" not sure why. Otherwise, hats off to you, the Geek and others! Love it!

XML Error: No error at Line 0

The error i got while importing the product! What should i do?

The AME tags are just for converting older media tags. Their not required to embed the media, just URL tags.


Where are you getting this error?

I believe I've pinpointed the problem with Amazon, and it appears to be an AME 2.5 bug. These definitions should provide the workaround to make them pull the titles and URLs properly. But I would still like some feedback to make sure their working properly.

Remember to change the affiliate ID to yours if you have one.

alright DJ, i might make a few posts here while i test the new amazon stuff. first impression is great, links seem to be parsing properly, even with a bunch of chaff after the ASIN number.

however, i am trying another link that has already been affiliate'ed, and its giving confusing results:

http://www.amazon.com/Kitchens-India...g=thefulmai-20

there are two ?tag fields there, the one where i got the link (slickdeals) and my site is tacked on the very end there.

the above is on the amazon (thumbnails) XML

*edit* also just noticed that with a link from amazon that already has an affiliate tag in it is displaying the thumbnail properly. however, if i navigate to amazon.com, and randomly select an item, no thumbnail is displayed, only the link and the title. (hope that made sense)

i am about to test out the amazon(links)

okay, amazon(links).xml is doing the same thing, its leaving two affiliate tags in the link, like this:

http://www.amazon.com/Belkin-F8N082-...g=thefulmai-20

Some Amazon products don't have a corresponding thumbnail.

It's a peculiarity in 2.5, as the ID is stripped out in 2.0. The only solution I can offer at this point is to remove the other affiliate ID before posting.

and thats just fine, i really appreciate you looking into it. would it be advantageous for me to switch back to 2.0?

You would loose the resizing functionality of 2.5, and you'd have to import the other definition set. Depends on which you find is the bigger hassle.

Looks like I have a misplaced ID in Thumbnails definition. It's in the title when it should be in the a href.

Any chance on geting a def for this site?

Sample:
http://mbl.is/mm/frettir/erlent/2008...ir_ut_i_nokia/

What would like embedded? I can't find any type of media on the site other then front page video. Is there's a video section I'm overlooking? Or maybe your looking to embed the Podcasts?

Love these definitions and thanks for your work Digital Jedi. I do have a question, how do I fix this error when IGN videos are posted:
Thanks in advance.

Try going into your IGN definition and in the Replacement HTML, escape each of the single quotes ' with a backslash \ and see if that takes care of the problem.

Hi there,

quick question? Does this, when installed, give the option of what to exclude for sites like mine that have age restrictions and cannot have all content embedded?

Danke!

That would be a question to ask in the main modification thread, as this is just extended definitions for that mod. But yes, there are Usergroup permissions. However, you would need to check the documentation on the limitation of the conditionals. I forget exactly what the limitations are since I haven't had cause to implement them yet. But I know there's some small issues related to that.

I got the same error when I mistakenly clicked a .php file for import

my forum has 1.7M posts. how long does installation of AME take??

i'm afraid that it is crashing my server due to the load of the installation but i don't dare to stop it for fear that the midway installation will cause my site to crash. it has been going on for 30 minutes now. what should i do?

if i just stopped installation, will anything happen? how do i uninstall the stuff added to vb_post already??

Installation of AME, or import of the definitions? For AME installation, you should be asking that question in AME thread.

How come when i go to Display definitions only shows youtube, myspace, google videos, yahoo and amazon .... what about the other sites like liveleak....etc etc etc

Hello DJ,
Thank you for your MOD. I just wonder after I import every thing it very OK. I thought but I try to embed any site like imeem, youtube it show like some picture below . Please give me some advise.
Thank you so much and Happy New Year :)

PS: my vB ver 3.7.4 and AME ver 2.5

Sounds like you haven't imported any of these definitions, as you only seem to have the default set that comes with AME. You have to delete those and then import my Master XML.


Just post the URL to the video like you would ordinarily. You don't paste in the embed code. This converts the links to videos. Your users don't have to do anything else different then what they were doing before.
