Hi,

not able to embed facebook video's please help with definition

dailymotion, anyone? Please?

Yeah, sorry about that. My life took on some new, unexpected challenges. But I haven't forgotten about this thread, or AME in general. Hopefully everyone can hang on just a little while longer.

Also, thanks BirdOPrey, for keeping the light on for everyone. :up:

I've run into a problem that I'm trying to sort out with my server that's holding further development up. I'm not able to save changes or import definitions on either my board, my test board or a client's board on my shared server. I'm working with them to try and rectify the issue, but if it turns out that it's an AME issue, this might delay things for the foreseeable future.

Okay, just to keep you guys apprised, we didn't really solve the problems with my server, but I've found a workaround that should work, and maybe any of you that were having a similar problem saving definitions can benefit from it. I'm having to put brackets around the http of the RegEx or encase the whole RegEx in (). No idea what that works, but at least I can save defs now. (Still can't delete any.) I'll try to have some updated ones for you sometime this week.

In addition to that, those of you having trouble with URLs that have been changed to https links, just do as BirdOfPrey recommended and add an s? to the RegEx. I'll post updated ones for those later.

Because of both the https issue and the fact that I'm using brackets, all definitions released from here on out will require the RegEx pattern to look like this:
Which, ironically, is the way The Geek used to format his default definitions in the first place before I started doing it differently. Maybe that's why. (Doh!)

I cannot open my board just yet to the public, but I'll try and set up something where you can continue to make definition requests. It won't be vB, so you won't be able to see my demos, but it will be something temporary anyway.


In addition to the https, the colon was throwing the definition off. Just add both to the ReGex like so:



I was able to get this to work, but I used additional JavaScript which I picked up from another BBCode posted here. It has the same limitations that JavaScript has when posting via AJAX, but it works. JavaScript is not my language, so I don't know why it does. Possibly older code. Hopefully not deprecated.



Is that all the YouTube defs (Playlists, User Profiles) or just the default one? Did you get any error messages when you tried, or is simply nothing happening after import?


I took a look at that first one, and it looks like it might be possible to make a def for just the videos section. That way they could avoid false embeds from the whole site. I'll put that on my list of things to do as well, presuming you don't beat me to it. :up: I'll also try and get all yours and the community's defs I may have missed included in the Master XML.

If you can hook me up with some URLs and Embed Code, I'd be happy to take a look. DivShare comes up every now and again as a request, but I've yet to see what it's embed code looks like, since it's not a browse-able site. I decided to just join tonight and upload a video to see for myself, but for whatever reason, the embed code region for my video is blank.


For some reason, I thought I had already released one for PutLocker and SockShare. I even remember testing them, but alas, I don't know what the heck happened there. If you can deal with the bajillion popups, it's actually pretty easy to make.

|[Friday Night Definitions]|
Yes, I know it's Thursday. No, I have no idea why I insist on calling it that. We've established I don't sleep much.

Here's a few definitions to hopefully get you through the weekend. New and updated, and collected a few from BirdOPrey. [s]Not yet added to the Master XML.[/s]

UPDATES
Mostly fixes for the https problem a lot of you were running into, and because some of the sites had updated their URL/Embed Codes.

Dailymotion
eBay
Facebook
Google Maps
Hulu
YouTube

NEW
A few requests, and a few defs made by BirdOPrey while I was away.

Alli Sports - It appears this site is making a gradual move to all YouTube hosted videos. Fortunately their URLS were distinct enough that I could add two more definitions to support that change.

WWLTV - I tweaked this one a bit to only embed videos from their videos section. Should help to prevent any conflicts with regular news pages.

NOLA - Embed using their permalinks from within the video, rather than their page URL.

Red Bull Signature Series - Another BOP-created def, tweaked a little bit, so I could save a copy on my durn server. Also expanded to include some additional video URLs.

Twitter - Requested in the Twitter BBCode thread, this one should work for everyone.

Putlocker and SockShare - Watch out for popups!

Oh yeah, I almost forgot that I wanted to replace MegaUpload badges with something. This isn't perfect, as you'll need to use the extended URL they provide with downloads that includes the name in the file. But file sharing sites are persnickety about what content they let you pull from their sites. This was the only way I could make it work. I give you:

MediaFire Badges

Please upload the attached image to your images/misc directory [s]or whatever misc directories are in each of your style folders[/s].

Attachment 143436

In addition to badges, I also made one for Direct Links to images hosted on RapidShare. No need for BBCode, and the image will be resized to no larger than 400px. It will also use your forums tborder class for some nice framing.

I have the same issue. What did you do to sort it out? This actually happens to all embedded videos, not just from Youtube.

Example: http://www.ultimatecarpage.com/forum...ad.php?t=45563

100% OK with the last update of Digital Jedi ;)

same problem : S

It actually started when I performed the last update. Would it help if I replace all definitions?

That sorted it!

I think it's best to disable/erase the old definitions first

I do still have problems with the youtu.be URL. Do I need to add a specific definition for those?

Imported update. No issues here so far.

Thanks.

This is due to having duplicate definitions, usually due to not deleting existing definitions before importing the same ones (though AME 2.5 should be preventing that provided the keys match) or not deleting the YouTube/Amazon definitions that are recreated during an upgrade.

AME 2.5 should be forcing you to, if you import definitions with the same key. I try not to change keys when doing updates to existing Master definitions unless necessary. So you should be being stopped upon import from creating any duplications.

What trouble are you having, exactly?

I see what happened now. I did rename YouTube's key to youtube1 while trying to delete a duplicate definition created when I reinstalled AME here the other day. Totally my fault. Be sure to keep the youtube1 definition, delete the other one, and change the key back to youtube so you don't run into that problem again.

Anyone think they'd be interested in a definition that embeds the ten newest Pins on a Pinterest board?

I'm still having problems with the short youtu.be urls. I've installed all the latest updates, but urls such as http://youtu.be/nOGsB9dORBg simply won't embed.

Tested this on mine, and it embedded fine. Double check your YouTube (Short URL) definition. Make sure it's active and that nothing seems to be missing from the first RegEx field.

Catching up on some very old definition requests. (2010? :eek:) The up side is that quite a few of the requested websites have shut down since being requested. Okay, maybe that's good for me, and not them. Point is, I should have some more defs ready for you tonight or tomorrow. Sorry, I missed Friday Night again.

Everything seems to be OK. And just to be sure, I even deleted the definition and reimported it. Odd.

Can you you point me to an example of where it's not embedding?

|[SUPERBOWL NIGHT UPDATES]|
That can be a thing, too. Right? [sigh]

Here's a few updates to try and make up for my formidable absence. "Sorry I've been away so long. I won't let you down again."


Updated

Amazon now uses the same formatting as eBay thumbs.


I think it looks a lot better, so switch up at your discretion. You might want to nudge your title character count up just a little. Also, be sure to put the following Amazon logo (at the bottom of this post) in your images/misc directory.

Facebook is updated for the new URL strings, and includes an Old definition to support your old embeds.

Hulu got a much needed update, but unfortunately there's no way to support the older embeds. They'll look a little funny. Not terrible, just funny. As long as you don't edit them, they should still work.

YouTube Videos, Short URLs & Playlists all have been updated to support the new https protocol. (Also corrected my misnamed youtube1 key name.) And there's a brand new Playlists definition, along with an Old def to maintain older embeds. (Profiles/Channels will have to wait for now. Not sure if it's being used much, anyway.)

zSHARE, RapidShare, MediaFire & CNET Badges all got some tweaks for page load performance and styling. They now all use a single image each, found in the image gallery below.

And now, for the good stuff...


NEW DEFINITIONS
Caught up with most of the list, and left comments in the request threads when I needed more info, or couldn't make a site work. You'll be able to see my replies once I soft open my forum later this month.

Audioboo - Yeah, I laughed at the name a little. Embed audio files using their JavaScript player. Remember, JavaScript doesn't show up for the poster when he posts a link via AJAX (Quick Reply/inline editing). But it's there, and will be there when he refreshes/reloads the page. There's a second Audioboo definition you can toggle if JavaScript is a problem for you, but it doesn't look or work quite as a good as the JavaScript one.

Bloomberg - More News!

ClipSyndicate - Aggregate News!

CNBC - Boring News!

Dockstock - Some documents will not embed, so they've been excluded from converting. I'll try to get you guys a more universal "no media" icon for when AME uses validation like this.

eHow - And how! That one took almost a day to make work. :mad:

FileHippo - Badges for FileHippo downloads. Background image available in the gallery below.

JigZone - Completely overlooked BirdOPrey's version of this back when he first posted it. This should embed all puzzles no matter the piece number picked from the website.

MLB - Yay! Baseba...zzzzzzzzz (Kidding.)

MovShare - Should work, but since I can't browse the site, I could only verify on a couple of MovShare links I happened to already know about. Also, it's MovShare. Get a popup blocker. A good one.

MyVido1 - That is how it's spelled. :confused:

NASCAR Yay! Racin...zzzzzzzzzzzzz... A second definition is there for the Short URL that comes up with the video player. But it's an odd one. Short URLs redirect to the video source URL. So, the only way to make it work results in a video that auto-plays. Use the second one at your own discretion. The main one works the best.

OpenFile - Video hosting service.

Picasa Web Albums Slideshow - Embeds a web album as a slideshow. Doesn't quite work well with videos in an album, but that's on Google's end, not mine.

Pinterest Boards & Pins - This one was kind of a big deal for me to make work. One def will embed a Pinterest Pin using your style's tboder class as a border. The other will embed the ten latest Pins from a Pinterest Board. Complete with image linking and everything. And yes, they can be used together. Be sure to grab the Pinterest icon from the image gallery below.


TED - Should work for all TED.com Talks, except where the video source is a YouTube video.

Veevr - One def for videos and another for channels should make everything on the site embeddable.

Vevo - I honestly don't know why I don't already have a definition for this site. Seems kinda obvious.

Zippyshare - Another downloads badge for another downloads website. Optimized to the new 2.0 badges! <--Note: That's not really a thing.

IMAGE GALLERY
Be sure to get the stuff for your stuff.

No immediate reason I can see why it's not embedding, except the most obvious, is if it's turned on. No other admin toggled it off by chance? If you PM me temp admin access, I can try to figure out what the issue is.

I'm sorry I'm not clear on this... I delete the existing definitions that I want to upgrade, then import the new updates. After that, do I need to Rebuild?

Thanks,

Jim

No, there should be no need to rebuild anything. Just delete the ones you want to replace before importing. Back up any if you think you need to before doing so. That's pretty much it.

For anyone interested in making definitions, I've updated my Resources post on the first page to include a link to a RegEx tester called Expresso. I've since stopped using The Regulator, mainly because it hasn't seen an update in a few years and would occasionally become corrupted if not shut down properly. Expresso is kept pretty current and more stable. And free!

In addition, don't be shy about sharing any defs you've made that are not in our Master list. I'll review everything before putting it out there, so no need to fear making anything wrong or incomplete. These defs got as big as they did in large part because of crowd sourcing them from the community.

I've looked at this and went so far as to even delete the definition, re-import it or recreate it manually. Even tried variations on the RegEx pattern. For whatever reason, AME is not recognizing the pattern, and that pattern only.

At this point I would try all troubleshooting methods. Re-upload the AME files and re-install the product as if you were doing an upgrade. (Be sure to delete the duplicate YouTube and Amazon definition that will create.) Test those links again. Disable each modification one at a time, then edit a test link with each one disabled. The only reason I could imagine just one definition will work and not other is because of a modification conflict.

OK, thanks for taking the time to check into it for me. It may be a few days before I have time to tackle it again, but I'll let you know what I find.

Does anyone have a definition that works with Daily Motion?

I updated Dailmotion a couple of weeks ago. Did you not get the notification I sent out?

EDIT: I guess not. You don't have this mod Marked as Installed.

Whoops, I must have clicked that by accident...

I deleted my previous DailyMotion definition, uploaded the newest one and still no dice:

http://gridironfans.com/forums/1533692-post2.html

I'm pretty sure I looked at your post for about ten minutes, before I remembered what I was there for.

Looks like it's parsing the URL, but not converting the HTML. I'm not sure why it would be doing this, but if you give me temp Admin CP access, I can try to take a look at it. Apparently, I still have an account with GIF from the last time I tried to troubleshoot something on your site.

This is the second time I've run into this issue the last couple of weeks. The RegEx is valid, but it's just not parsing. And I can only imagine something is specifically interfering with it. Which is odd if other definitions are working normally. I even tried "tricking" AME with a variable RegEx, and it hesitated for a second, then failed to parse it anyway. If you and ecurbh can compare notes; see how many modifications you're running that are the same or similar, and/or if turning certain ones off makes any difference when editing a post, then you might want to do so. I can't help but think there's a common denominator here, as I've never seen a single, random definition fail to parse a link, but continue to parse others. There's honestly no reason for it not to work, other than a mod conflict. Something that indiscriminately affects one definition, but not others.
