Hmm... Thats kind of a cool idea, but out of the scope of this mod. However it could easily be done by creating an add on that uses AME's hooks:
1- Add a field to the thread table (i.e. ame_count)
2- in the automediaembed_prep_text_end hook, put something along these lines:
PHP Code:
if ($flag)
{
global $threadid;
//update ame_count
}
you could then use the ame_count field in a conditional for the TV icon.
Saying that, you would then want to update during edits, deletes and moving of posts. A bit of a pain, but the best 'performance' method possible

Make sense

AME can overwrite media links if you want. That is what the conversion tool is for, it essentially takes the plethora of [media] tags and turns them into URL tags, essentially allowing you to uninstall them. Without breaking old posts. From that point you could then run the rebuild tool to convert into AME codes if that is what you wanted, however AME doesnt do this by default, you would have to run the tool.

Yea, it really is outside the scope as AME is designed to scan blocks of text for userdefined URL patterns. A profile block would KNOW that it was geting a media URL and could simply display it in an object tag. In fact, that is pretty easy to do, the only messy part is adding a block as IMO it is very easy and doable, just kind of messy.

I suppose it will need to go into the 3.7 section as it won't work on 3.6 and it should infer that it works with 3.7x (thought this version does too).
I am currently working on the rebuilding of blog and group posts which is a bit long winded and will add your suggestions above.
Thanks for your continued support on this project
After looking at the current options availible, I still think AME is by far the best media embedder for customisability and performance.
