if the embed code for www.myvideo.com/watch.php?v=123456 looks like:
<embed src="http://www.myvideo.com/watch.php?v=abcdef" ... />

In this instance, the URL doesnt 'tie up' to the embed HTML so AME needs to go to www.myvideo.com/watch.php?v=123456 and find the abcdef part. With the Embedding Regexp, AME pulls down the page and runs something like:

http://www\.myvideo\.com/watch\.php\?v=(\w+)

Which grabs the abcdef part so the video will properly embed.

In the event that the URL contains the information you need (i.e. the dailymotion definition I just posted) then this process is redundant and a time waster. Furthermore, the Embedding Regexp is generally different than the regexp used to match the URL in the first place.

Hope this helps.

The Geek, 1st, I am much appreciated that you speak with me.

2nd, I understand that for the current moment the dailymotion can work only with "Regular expression". This is 100% clear for me.

3rd, I am just trying based on dailymotion to make it working also with "Extract destination data".

As I understand this one can be done so?

And at this point I meet with the problem.

Here is my test case.

1. I use URL
   http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x9m63m_canarias-timelapse_creatio
   
2. There in HTML Source I see:
   

       <link rel="canonical" href="/video/x9m63m_canarias-timelapse_creation" />[*]

3. I am trying to get the needed video name from this line.
   
4. So I make:
   
   • Regular expression
     
     PHP Code:

     http://[w\.]*dailymotion\.[com|alice\.it]+/[\w/\-%]*video/([\w\-]+) 

   • Extract destination data
     Yes
     
   • Embedding Regexp
     
     PHP Code:

     <link rel="canonical" href="/video/([a-z_0-9-]+)" 

     • I also tried:
       
       PHP Code:

       href="/video/([a-z_0-9-]+)" 


And this one doesn't work.

I am trying to understand - why?

What I am doing wrong?
