i have problem with this hack some of my video on my you tube are show as

"we're sorry, this video is no longer avaiable"
although the video is avaiablle on embed form :(


do you know why is it ?

It depends on if the video has embedding disabled by the author.

This mod ROCKS! :D

I searched the forum and couldn't find what I was looking for. I currently have passivevid installed (an older edition) and see that they have now crippled the product and don't allow many feeds. Your mod looks awesome by the way.

My Question ? : Do I need to uninstall Passivevid, then install AME? Any special instructions for removing links, etc. I have quite a few videos that are currently be parsed correctly, I just don't want to break any links and have to go back and manually update after switching to your mod.

Thanks for your help,

Jason

The two aren't compatible, so passiveVid would have to be uninstalled first. I've notice some problems with the two even after passiveVid has been uninstalled, so make sure all tables the mod uses are clear from your database after removal. What you would do with your older videos would depend on how passiveVid handles it's media.

For example, people who were using custom BBCodes for sites like YouTube, MetaCafe, Google, etc, have the option of rebuilding their posts. In the AME CP there's an option that lets AME go through your posts and change your old BBCode tags to AME tags. So if you where using [youtube] tags, AME could go in and change all to [ame] tags.

I don't know if passiveVid handles media like that at all, or lets you do a similar conversion process before uninstalling it, but hopefully that helps you get started. I do highly recommend this product. But then, I am a little biased because I support the Add-On which adds support for 170 additional sites. ;)

Ok, thanks.

I'll give it a go, and post any trouble I run into. I'm pretty good at following instructions and I don't think I was doing anything special with passivevid, just using it "out of the box" so to speak so hopefully I will get lucky and it will go smooth.

If I f.. something up, I'll pay you to fix it :D.

I uninstalled passivevid, and installed ame, and it is kind of working. I'm not seeing anywhere in the AME control panel to upload the xml media definitions. I've looked, and looked and I don't see them anywhere. Maybe I'm blind.

Also, the Tools Options is non-existent from the AME control panel. I did manage to find the "tools" in a crazy way, I went to uninstall/Re-install the mod, and was presented with the tools screen, I reverted all passived vid links to raw urls, and then rebuilt them and youtube vids appear to be now working ok, but other sources don't and I obviously want all 160+ definitions to work.

I also need to do some formatting of the player box, where can I change the font color of the embed title for example?

I'm not a coder at all, but I'm good at following directions if someone can point me in the right direction.

Thanks, I really like all the features of this mod, excited to get it working correctly for my members.

When I post a link to a YouTube video, it embeds just fine.
However, the same is not true with a Yahoo video link. This one, for example: http://video.yahoo.com/watch/3864917?fr=yvmtf

How do I resolve this?

Thanks.

CNN links dont work also.

The URL structure is different then the typical URL for a Yahoo! video. It will have to be udpated.


Could you post the link to a couple of examples in my thread?
