I don't know exactly how Goldbrick worked, but if it used some type of BBCode, you can use AME's conversion tool to change those tags into special tags that AME uses.

Built into AME is just a few supported sites. For the full spectrum of supported sites, including support for local hosted media, you would need the definitions in my Add-On thread.

It looks like one needs 2.5 to change the video window size as all the 16:9 videos get the top and bottom cropped and they are a little small anyway.

2.5 is the latest stable version in the 3.8 section, but the resizing feature of 2.5 is that you can resize your videos globally. You can still resize videos per individual definition in the AME CP. You probably would still want to upgrade to the latest version.

Lastly, Exposureroom.com is the brand new but now defacto standard bearer for HD video streaming. Not much content there yet, but it smokes other HD video file sharing sites, you just have to figure out how you would add that on considering the same url appears to display for 3 different sizes of the same video, with the medium one being the best.

I maintain the Add-On threads with the collected definitions, and I periodically add sites to the request list to look over. I'll add this to the list to see what I can do. Keep an eye out there for updates.

I REALLY wish playing the video would use a highslide lightbox effect. We left highslide in place for still images, but it doesn't work on AME videos, only the Goldbrick hack did.

Wouldn't work with AME as it wasn't designed originally, but there's also the fact that AME handles more the just media, so it might make for some awkward conversions.
