Ok. This looks like a bug. To fix this until next release, do this:

in include/ame_bbcode.php find:

and change to:

More than likely a provider error (i.e. youtube was down and then google)

Limitations with usergroup viewing permissions
----------------------------------------------
The new system uses javascript to attempt to 'hide' the embedded media and 'show' a default URL. If the user doesnt have javascript enabled or places an embedded video in their post, it will appear to them until they refresh the page. Of course, if the person doesnt have permission to view, I doubt they would have permission to embed anyway!

Sorry, Can you explain a little more. Are you saying you cant Duplicate this, or can I?

Each time i try to convert tags, i get "You are missing the \1 parameter in at least one of your conversions". Yet i havent edited anything in either Codes, or conversions box.

I just want to get rid of old [media] tags :)

I copied what you had exactly but it works for me? Make sure there are no trailing spaces maybe?

Ive just double checked, and can see no trailling spaces anywhere. I also even copied what what i pasted earlier, and still same. Any other ideas?

AME 2.5 Beta 3 has now been uploaded into the first post.

This beta addresses some bugs found in the previous beta, completes more of the admincp help (though there are still a few more admincp help items to do) and adds a couple of new features:

nomedia tag

I have implemented the ability to wrap a URL in a [nomedia] tag. Matching URLs found within these tags will not embed, but rather link with an icon to indicate that it is an offsite media link.

Embedding validation

This will help prevent AME from embedding videos that can not be shown offsite. A good example is a music video on youtube where there is no embed code displayed because the author has stipulated that the video can only be shown on youtube. Curently, the video will embed, however when you play it, you get a message saying the video is invalid (or similar).

The new validation feature will check for the embed code on the destination page. If it isn't found, AME won't embed the video. Instead, AME will wrap the URL in a [nomedia] tag (see above) which shows a link and icon to indicate that you must go offsite to view it.

For this feature to work, the extract destination data setting must be on (and working). Furthermore, the definition must have a valid validation regexp. I have updated the default youtube definition to get you started :)

Please be aware that 2.5 is still beta so treat it as such!

Sorry, I don't. I copied and pasted your entries from above and it seems to work fine (though in fairness I was trying it in the latest beta - though that shouldnt make a difference). Feel free to PM me admincp details and I will take a look when I have a minute.

about to install the beta 3 soon

just downloaded it

ok i installed it,

the nomedia tag seems to work but it dislays the url with the URL tag on each end (opening and closing tags) so i think people who use this will want that not to display..

apart from that working oki doki

Great improvement.

There seems to be an issue where some YouTube videos are saying they are no longer available, but they actually are.

Example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0TtPdnu3BOo

When I embedded that video here: http://www.tenstones.net/forums/gene...tml#post413542

can someone tell me how to fix the double post?

Great product by the way.

i tried to find where to turn those of and on in the vb control panel where is it?

Thanks

Never mind its working now. I didn't change anything and it works.

There's no video in the thread you posted. YouTube shuts off embeds sometimes due to maintance.


You have two YouTube definitions. You'll need to delete one.

Thanks thats what i thought i just had to slow down reading.

I installed the AME 2.0.2. I installed the files in the folders in the respective folder in vBulletin 3.7.3 PL1. With the all the Plugin & Products System active for AME 2.0 -Auto Media, this is what I get when trying to send a quick Reply or full post.....


Where did I go worng :mad:

Thanks.

Either the files in the forums folder were not all uploaded to the correct locations or they were uploaded with insufficient privileges for the files to be run

HTHs

Just to add to what DJ was saying, this isn't to do with the product, this is to do with publishers of the video disabling offsite embedding. If you read 2 posts before yours, you will see a new feature in 2.5 that helps to mitigate this.

Strange i cant get this to show anything but the url of a tube.......all settings are active?

any thoughts

Any ideas on this? Running 2.5 Beta 2 (upgrading to Beta 3 now)

Does 2.5 work with 3.6.8?

Beta 3 has a Problem (Bug).

When Posting a Message, and Choosing not to Auto-Embed Media, the Mod Auto-Embeds the Media No Matter What Against User's Will. :confused:

I've made the same Exercise Using 2.1.5 Beta 3 and 2.0.2 (the one I'm currently Using), and Beta 3 has that Bug and 2.0.2 Does the Job OK.

For Now I'll Stay with 2.0.2, but I liked a lot the New Improvements on Beta 3, so I'll wait for this Bug to be Corrected to Try it Again on my Test Forum.

My Best Regards.

:)

Not sure whether this has been addressed or not, or maybe it will be in 2.5, but upon 'preview post/thread' - the link is not converted, and if an edit is made to the thread - the conversion is destroyed, leaving only a link to the url of the page instead of the conversion into a playable file.

That looks like an error from the embedded HTML. Since it isnt a default definition, you may need to ask the author of it. :(

Hasnt been tested, but theoretically it should.

Yup, just confirmed this. I think I know the problem so should have a fix shortly.

Huh, I cant reproduce this. Editing works as intended (i.e. works fine) at my end and it even embeds in the preview as intended? Can you help by providing some examples?

Post the link to the Vimeo video causing that in my thread. I'm not getting any errors when I tested a few.

Fantastic! That worked! Thank you!!

version 2.5 beta 3

tool rebuild posts

error "Invalid Zone Specified" in next page.

Can you confirm this possible bug?

Thanks

How odd.. it happens every time without fail on mine.

If you like I can supply you a log in for my forum and you can witness it for yourself. It could be one of the other plugin's I am using, maybe causing some issue?

That would be great.

@all - Next 2.5 beta should be out this weekend and should take care of all outstanding issues. After that, the gold version will most likely follow as phrasing and most of the 'stuff I do during RC' has really been done.

Looking forward to it Sam :)

And I should have the updated Master XML of definitions available shortly after it's release. :D

Any reason this should be trying to change Wikipedia links? Every time I or a user posts a Wikipedia link we get a "Wikimedia Error" in the post instead of just a regular link.

Several videos are not working on my site. I'm running 2.0 right now. Some will not display at all and some will display but with an error like "video not found", or it will be the wrong video. I have extract destination data installed.

My best guess is that something happened when i switched servers a while back. I'm wondering if any certain features needed to be enabled by the host in order for this modification to work properly?

Keep in mind that some embeds do work, like youtube and collegehumor. Any help would be much appreciated.

Sorry insist, but I am with this problem and I would like someone try it and report the result.

Thank you.

Could you specify which and post links to some examples in my definitions thread so I can address them on the next update?

Its getting looked into over the weekend with a new release

Most likely that the videos have embedding disabled. Follow the link and see if there is embed code on the page. 2.5 introduces a way to help prevent this.

Actually, i think i've done that already. You told me to look back at the earlier version of AME ro see if an issue like this occurred. I didn't have any luck with that.

Normally, I'd grab the link to each video and test them on my forum. But since you have the container turned off, the link to the videos isn't there. Do you think you could send me each of the links to videos that are saying not available?

hi, i am a noob and not so experienced, i need your help. i installed this without any errors. checked whether the system is turned on. Everything looks fine. But when i post any video link it just comes up as a link and not as embedded video. Can you help me out please.
