*The tools didn't seem to work. I tried to convert a couple of blogs in verbose test mode and just got a blank page.

Ah, the blank page looks like it will happen whenever you try to rebuild visitor messages, blogs or social groups because I forgot to globalise $db in the validation functions.

For a quick fix, edit admincp/automediaembed_admin.php and check out the validation functions (the next 3 functions onward) which start around line 68. They need to have:
global $db;
inserted as the first line in the funtion. I have done it here, but dont have time to update the package yet. Maybe tomorrow

As to the technical question...

As long as the content has [ame] tags in it already (i.e. ame parsed a blog post and you are re-parsing on a different page), it will show as expected. The only challenge with using ame outside of the context it was made is when it comes time to save text outside of the system.
