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.

There's a good RegEx tutorial at this site that explains the basics of what you need to know to develop Regular Expressions:

hello

Where is the product XML file?

[The Geek]

includes/product-ame.xml as per the readme.

[KURTZ]

what about my trouble?

[The Geek]

Sorry, you hadn't clicked install so I figured you had removed it.

The error is telling you that you have turned on file caching and given a path for the file cache that either doesn't exist or is not writeable (i.e. chmodded 0777 as per the readme).

HTHs

[KURTZ]

i haven't clicked 'install' cause right now i'm playing with my testing board ... but i'll use your hack for sure :P

anyways, i cmodded 777 the 'ame' folder ... but i can't cache the files ... (i also tried to create a new folder called 'cache' in the 'ame' folder - also 777 - but nothing to do ... any tip?

another question: what about the old features Geek? have you planned something?

[The Geek]

Then you need to double check the setting for the file cache. It needs to be the full path to the ame folder. That error is from a test I run to see if AME can write to the folder - she is saying she can't.

What other features are you after? For the most part vB4 + AME3 gives you about the same feature set as AME2.5x. As far as definitions, I seldom do those and leave it to the community to do (though its generally DJ that ends up doing them all )

Thanks but 2 hours of reading and a download later I'm still confused as hell.
Can any one please help me out with what I require to enter into the Regex URL and Embed sections?

in the vB4 in the settings menu ive only the cache option, instead in the vB3 i've all the features ... i mean this ...

however, i just put all the path not only the folder, and it seems to be correct, but when i go to the 'tools' menu and i click 'update cache' i've this 'could not find phrase ame saved'

if you need i can give you an admin account so you can see averything onto my testing board ...
