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.

Awesome, thanks for the update Geek. This is one of my favorite vB MODs.

By "they", I meant the publisher. I was just being terse. :erm:

So you are saying there is nothing that can be done?

All I am saying is that you would get the exact same effect using the Video popup with vBulletin so that is a vB issue. If you widen your browser a bit, its fine. You should be able to adjust the max size via css though.

That doesn't make sense. Can you pm me a temp admincp account and if possible a temp ftp account?

Greek;

Thanks for the update, will give it a whirl -- I appreciate you working the php issue.

On install, I clicked REBUILD CACHE and got this message...

"Could not find phrase 'ame_saved'."

I am certain this is just for language/messages, but wanted you to know.

Did you follow the instructions in the readme to install?

I was wondering if AME has any products it works with that will allow it to stream locally hosted video rather than things like youtube? I was using JW Mediaplayer and flowplayer but am open to any suggestions on how to stream these videos in VB.
