AME only works for me when I surround the media's URL with AME and /AME (bracketed, of course).

1- Users install product and go 'refresh' a page that has a media URL in it. AME doesn't work this way. AME will sprinkle its magic onto a post only when AME is installed and the post is saved (or rebuilt using the tools)

2- Users are pasting a youtube video into a post, but the video they are posting has external embedding disabled so AME just links to the video instead of showing you a broken one (in other words, it is actually working)

3- Usergroup permissions are wrong

4- Cache setup wrong (disable the file cache to test).

5- They are trying to install on phpBB. Fail.

1. I didn't refresh a page to see if it worked. I created a new post with several links from various video tube sites (G4TV, YouTube, Google Video).

2. Like I said, I posted multiple videos from multiple sites.

3. I've checked and rechecked usergroup permissions. Everything is kosher here (as mentioned in a previous post this was the first thing I checked for troubleshooting).

4. Cache setup is not wrong. It's currently set as enabled, the folder is place in the correct directory, and it is CHMODded to "777." There are no cache alerts at the top of the AME CP options page.

5. My site utilizes vBulletin 3.8.3.
