Hey gang, sorry for the long absence. We had a tragedy with one of our moderators last week and we only just learned that he had passed away from some serious injuries. Plus I had quite a few things on my end to take care of. I'll try to address everything within the week, if possible. Quite a few requests are starting to back up, and there's quite a few things I wanted to try out for the next update. So bear with me if you can.



The trick would be if GameTrailers offers any embeddable code for their High Def videos. But I'll look them over and see if there's a way to work around that.




That shouldn't be a problem, because the RegEx was made to account for that. But let me take a look at the definition again and see if I can troubleshoot what's causing your problem.



Could be that your file structure needs to be accounted for in the definition. But like I said, I'll look it over and see if I can spot what's wrong.




Definitions are imported and deleted through the AME CP in your Admin CP.



Good to know. I'm going to upgrade soon and it would kill my development on this if it didn't work.

good luck with your tryout

it seems I cant make imeem embedded music to show up.

here's the link of it

the full thread : http://www.gamexeon.com/forum/free-c...ge-d-1919.html

i try to fix the regex, coz its not working from the first time i install it. So perhaps you will see different lines of codes in page source.

This is only happened to imeem. other video / music site is working great :)
Thanks before :)

thanks!!

keep up the awesome work!!

Sorry to hear about what happened man. We had a similiar incident on my last site with a fellow gamer.

I did install the AME mod, and all the .xml's I required. But for some reason it is not changing the links into video's. I tested Youtube and Google Video, and a few others with no success. Is there curtain tags I should be wrapping the link in?

I'll be sure to look that over. If I remember correctly, there was peculiarity with Imeem, but I can't quite remember what it was.

Please bear with me. I usually try to address all problems. I'm just getting a little backed up. ;)



Your welcome, and thank you.





Thank you. We've not really gotten our bearings since it happened. I racked my brain for several days trying to think of what I could do.



Double check your Settings and see if something there is turned off. Like for instance, your extract settings or your convert new media settings. Also make sure you don't have an additional hack still partially installed that did media conversion. That seems to be a common problem.

Installed - works like a charm, except the calendar, I can't seem to get it running there. Is there a restriction in some areas?

OK Thanks :)

It just wasn't designed to extend beyond the postbit. The Geek said you can probably try to extend it yourself, but I have really tried that yet.

Dumb question, but i assume this has something to do with me running 3.7 - I dont see AMEs CP linked anywhere, other than the forum settings -> ame. Problem is, i dont see a way to import the xml file from DJ. What am i missing?

Did you remember to refresh your Admin CP after importing the product?

Hey, gang, sorry this is taken so long. This is going to take me longer then expected. I have a great deal of work backed up, not the least of which is getting my forum upgraded. Don't worry, I will return with updates.

They don't look too different to me. Only one RegEx should be required. I will add it to the list of updates, just bear with me, as I mentioned in a previous post, I'm way behind on a lot of things.

If you can give me a few basic details on how they all work, I'd be happy to help you. I haven't found much in terms of documentation on the RegEx.

This FloCasts video feed with also allow anyone to post their track and swimming videos (swimming.flocasts.org, track.flocasts.org) so we probably want to write it for any number of sub domains.

Anyhow, I look forward to seeing what you come up with.

Any interest in getting this working with Flickr?

a stumbling block I see immediately is that a link to a flickr video looks just like a link to a flickr photo (says "photos" in the url and everything). I also don't see a link between the number in the URL and in the embedded flash on the resulting page.

G'Day DJ, thanks heaps for the extra definitions here.

I've been trying in vain to get the blip.tv to work to this movie I uploaded today of our new kittens ;)

It does embed a blip.tv movie, and the "Blip (Permalink)" link in the header goes to the correct blip.tv video, however the embedded movie is a different one altogether!

Cheers for any assistance, Moses.

Take a look at the second and third post of this thread. I posted a bunch of resources therer you can use if your interested in learning this stuff the way I did.


I can't remember what happened the last time I tried Flickr, but I suspect it was as you said, with the Image and Video URLs being identical. I'll look at it again.



It's loaded the right one on my site. Try removing the Blip regex and reimporting it.


***Yikes! This backup list is getting bigger and bigger. :eek:***

CNN video?

Nope, but only because CNN has no embed capability.

Great add-on!! I installed it inmediately!

But I have one question/issue with the brightcove code
As you said the websites regularly change the code, and brightcove did, sadly I'm not able to produce the correct string for AME to work with this video.
Can you please be of some assistance?

This is the code from your XML file: And this is the code brightcove currently uses;

I tried to edit it and came up with this;
but it's not working :)

Mm, I'm not at home at the moment, so I can't check the RegEx for sure until Monday at the earliest. But at first glance, I'd say its' because you don't have a grouping for the $p1, etc. in the embed code to reference. I can't quite remember if BrightCove refrences the URL or if it has to use the alternate RegEx group, but the meat and potatoes of the video (meaning the actual source location of where the video is physically stored on their server) needs to be referenced from either a group in the URL (which referes to characters wrapped in parenthesis in the RegEx code) or a group in the Optional RegEx code (a set of chracters wrapped in parenthesis in the option regex group). You have no groupings in your RegEx, so that might be the problem.

Well, to be honest, I really have no clue how to put together the code. I just tried something. So I'm kinda lost, even with your feedback :)

Gang, I'm working on catching up on all your requests tonight. As usual, there appear to be some quirks with certain sites. Some are working, some aren't. Some have changed their URL and embed structures. Some have just done some downright peculiar things to their content. I will try to catch up on all queries you've left me over the last few pages as well as the PMs you've sent me tonight and tomorrow. Thanks for hanging on.

How about the webtv on FHM.com? ;)

Would have worked, but their videos are hosted all over the place. And this mod will only replicate one embed code per site. Now, I did notice that most of the sites used are already supported, so pulling the permalink from most of those vids should work.


Well gang, sorry this is taking longer then expected. I did not get to work on this all day, and it's getting late here as it is. My apologies for the delay, but please keep me apprised if any videos stop working.

First, thanks for this! It's very cool.

Second, has anyone already figured out how to get it to work with videos that are hosted with gallery2? I use gallery2 on my site to host the videos so I'd like to be able to embed them in the forum posts too.

You need to actually parse the gallery page to get to the actual content. You can see an example if you go to this video on my site:

http://www.baue.org/images/galleries...3Edge.mov.html

Obviously one other thing that needs to be fixed is to search for .mov.html (or wmv.html), but that's pretty easy. The harder part is parsing the page to figure out that the actual video is http://www.baue.org/images/galleries...2-4/E3Edge.mov.

It would be even cooler if you could also parse the actual width and height, but I don't think you specify that dynamically with AME, can you?

With a minor edit to the Locally Hosted definitions, you should be able to get it to work with those. I'll look into it.

I see you've removed that video since we last talked. If your still interested, I can look that over for you.


The only problem I could find was that the playlist had expired. Otherwise, I'm able to get playlist to embed on my site. Are you still having that problem?


I tested some Brightcove definitions on my site and they all embedded with no problem. What videos where you having trouble with?

Is there a chance of creating an xml for the new Vreel (uses DivX) ? http://beta.vreel.net/index.html

Thanks

They're not providing embed code, from what I can see. Maybe if they add that later I can add them to the definitions.

Thanks for the reply. Do either of these links help at all ? I can't say that I've had any success but they might make more sense to you. :)

Well, I generally wont make a definition if embed code isn't readily available, but if it appears the admin doesn't mind it, then it shouldn't be a problem.

OK thanks again, I'll keep my fingers crossed. :up:

I am looking for media definitions for more porn sites outside of redtube which is already supported. We have a VIP section where members over 18 can post XXX rated videos but they have been clamoring for more options outside of the only supported site.

Can anyone help?

DJ, thanks in advance man, so excited over here to check it out :)

Well gang, I'm almost finished up on this next cycle (and I use the word "cycle" loosely). This set has been tough, but enlightening. I managed to add a couple of sites to the no-fly list, but fortunately, I've managed to take a bunch off. There's one or two imperfect versions that I'll share with you ("imperfect" meaning they mostly work, but not to the capacity I'd like) and some that I'd like for you to test for me. All in all, I'd say this is the largest set of definitions I've release since I initially gathered together all the old ones when first starting this thread.

Also, I'd like to know if there are as many AME users as there are users of these definitions. AME is already at 1390 installs and we're at 154. So be sure to click in Install if you haven't already and are using the definitions in AME.

Awesome, ill keep checking back for the release :)

Well done DJ, Thanks for the help :)

Does anyone know how to get vBulletin to change the URL directly into a video without editing the post?

UDPATES!

Alright gang, you asked for it. We've reached a milestone today! Along with the current updates, we've reached an all-time high of...

It should be posting automatically. Can you set me up with a test account to see what your talking about?

Thanks for the update :)
there is no images shown for me !!
