BB Code Enhancements - AME3 - Auto Media Embeding and Video Extender

From the makers of Smooth and Jazz comes the singing sensation my mom has been waiting months for:

AME3. Bigger. Badder. Bestest.

NOTE ABOUT vB4.0.3: ------------------------------------------------------------

vBulletin 4.0.3 has changed the way video codes are handled and in the process, inadvertently broke AME3. I have submitted a bug report and believe that the issue will be quickly resolved. There is a manual fix you can apply for 4.0.3 here in the interim.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

AME3 is the sequel to the multi award winning AME 1x and AME 2x systems. AME3. This time, its different.

Vote for AME3 as MotM!

If you like AME3, you'll love AME'fy for your profiles!

AME3 does 3 things:

• It allows users to simply paste URLs into their message without having to use the video bbcode or video popup box.
• It allows you to add, edit and customise the video definitions that ship with vB4
• It allows you to import community created definitions to extend the system in ways you otherwise couldn't.

Now you can use AME anywhere you can use video bbcode: posts, blogs, visitor messages, the CMS, etc...

Note that I am releasing this early for beta testing and general feedback. There is currently a bug in RC2, RC4 and 4.0.0 that will prevent AME from working however there is a workaround posted below.

I have written a pretty comprehensive readme and attached it seperatly to this post. I suspect both this post and the readme will get updated as AME3 becomes finalised.

I went https on my site and old definitions were using http protocol, so it means videos are considered problem.

I tried to sort this out with AME, but it didn't worked. It was strange, I had correct definitions (just change http to https and leave rest as it is, it works this way with youtube, which is main source of videos, guess it works for some other services), but it didn't helped.

Till I found that some definitions worked, some not.

Well, problem was that at least for me AME didn't changed correctly video_bbcode template. I needed manually to edit template. After that, videos work.

Not sure what went wrong.

In case that someone of you have same problem.

could you elaborate please...

It's as I wrote: AME for some reason didn't changed video_bbcode template.

You edit video definition, you save it. But it doesn't get saved into video_bbcode template. Some did get saved. This gave me idea to check template and there I manually entered correct (https) definitions.

Which also lead me to remember that I tried to make some definitions (facebook) that didn't worked. Now I think that this is because AME didn't saved definitions into template. If I try again to play with this, I'll check template manually, just to be sure I have it there also.

I apologize if I missed it but does anyone have this working with Instagram?

It's adding the video tags but the embed code isn't working for some reason?

This url format works for me,

https://www.instagram.com/p/SomeId123/

Anyone have any clue what is going on here?


If you quote reply a guy who has more than 1 AME processed tweet, anything you type appears inside the quote box. If I edit a post that somebody quoted and remove all of the twitter embeds except one and then save it, the text will then be outside of the quote box and fixed. So..anyone have any idea? I thought it could be related to the quote expander I have but I removed that on a test style and no go.

I appreciate your help but the replacement html code just isn't working for me. Just no embed for some reason.

Not sure what to do but thanks for trying.

Would someone else be able to double check if this works or if it is the code perhaps?
