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.

Updated package

•Fixed file cache bug when rebuilding
•Prevented turning on cache with empty path setting
•Added ability to rebuild definitions after a vB4 default restore (i.e. an update)
•Fixed a few other bugs

Hello Geek (& DJ):

I have just tried the code. it seems to work on the decoding part:

When previewing, it changes

http://MySite.com/P/?@4ATsy4DPut@

into

[video=MySite;@4ATsy4DPut@]http://MySite.com/P/?@4ATsy4DPut@[/video]

However, nothing gets shown as a result and I can't see my embed code in the html source. Actually, there isn't anything at all....

Thanks
WC

ps. I have downloaded the latest files.

Also, I have a bbcode that's working, is there a way to auto convert

http://MySite.com/P/?@4ATsy4DPut@

to

[MySite]http://MySite.com/P/?@4ATsy4DPut@[/MySite]

I think that makes more sense..

That URL doesnt bring up a valid page though? Maybe thats the problem. I used the example you posted earlier and it worked for me then.

It brings up the page but doesn't show the embed... For example,

I type in

test 1
http://MySite.com/P/?@4ATsy4DPut@
test 2

and get this when published

test 1

test 2

When I edit post, I see

test 1
[video=MySite;@4ATsy4DPut@]http://MySite.com/P/?@4ATsy4DPut@[/video]
test 2

Then I check the html source, there is nothing between "test 1" and "test 2"

I think the decoding part is working, but it's ignoring my embed code (I checked many times to be sure the code is good, as a matter of fact, it is still working on my old forum with older version of AME)

Thanks

Hi,

how must the code look like when I want to insert Videos from www.Trabzonum.TV with a Link like:
http://www.trabzonum.tv/musicvideo.php?vid=c9442c290

or a Link like:
http://www.trabzonum.tv/toulouse-0-1...c9442c290.html

I try to add a definition for trabzonum.tv to ame.xml, but it doesn't work..

<def>
		<providerid>9</providerid>
		<tagoption>trabzonumtv</tagoption>
		<provider>trabzonumtv</provider>
		<url>http://www.trabzonum.tv</url>
		<regex_url><![CDATA[http:\/\/www\.trabzonum\.tv\/musicvideo.php\?.*vid=([a-z0-9-_]+)]]></regex_url>
		<regex_scrape />
		<embed><![CDATA[<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="576" height="432" data="http://www.trabzonum.tv/vid/{vb:raw code}">
	<param name="movie" value="http://www.trabzonum.tv/vid/{vb:raw code}" />
	<param name="wmode" value="transparent" />
</object>]]></embed>
		<priority>0</priority>
	</def>

thanks in advance..

Note that because of the way vB4 deals with video parameters, you don't want a semi-colon in your parameter.

@DJ - Keep meaning to update the readme with an outline of the new formats, but keep getting side tracked

Because its really vB4 doing the video management, we are somewhat limited in some of the things we can do, but not many. The key restriction is that there can be only one parameter (and it can't contain a semicolon!). That parameter can be fetched from another site or from the URL. There are no other parameters that can be used in the embed code other than this parameter, so no titles, sizes, etc...

Il get to writing it soon enough!

One parameter? Does that mean $p2 and up are gone, too? If so, that will nerf more than half of the definitions set. Please tell me extraction is still possible.

If you put http://MySite.com/P/?@4ATsy4DPut@ into a browser, it gives you a 404 so how can you be sure its the right embed code?!?

Extraction is still possible, but only to grab 1 parameter
