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.

Just running the upgrade(2.5->) and noticed quite a few like

[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DZHw9uyj81g"]YouTube- Pachelbel Canon in D Major Perfect Version[/ame]

remain yet others in the same thread have converted fine.

4.0.2 Patch Level 1 btw. Any ideas?

OT: Personally I wish vb had just left this fantastic new feature out. Hands up who thinks that in a couple of years the inbuilt one might approach being any where as good as ame? by vb5 it'll have probably caught up.

hehe, thanks for the kind words - I think Freddies done a pretty good job with the video system, it isn't as functional as AME (yet) but it is tight and focused so for most video jobs Its much better. I suspect it won't be long until they incorporate the rest of AME's feature set. Not because its so bad ass (though it is!) but more because thats a pretty logical evolution for them.

Now on to your problem...

If you re-run the tool will the above work? If not, will it work if you edit the post and remove the "'s within the first tag? Just wondering if thats what is causing it. Technically it should be totally fine.

This isn't working for me, i followed all the steps.

But when i just post a youtube link, like http://www.youtube.com/watch#!videos...&v=gI6sARmxEuc
it stays as a url, i have "Automatically convert links into videos" ticked and when i put video bb code tags instead of url tags it still doesn't convert to a video.

Any help? Thanks

I have 4.0.2 installed

I'm on 4.0.2 PL1 and this flat out won't work for me. I installed everything without any errors. Looks like it's all installed perfectly, however, when I post a YouTube link, it just displays the link. No video player.

Same exact thing here.

Mine was working fine until I upgraded to 4.0.2 - uninstalled and reinstalled w/o any change.

Edit: My mistake, it's fine

Is that the only link you've tried, because it's saying it's an invalid link when I click on it. Also, it's not one I've ever seen before, but it's not one what would work anyway.

Well thank you, but I tried it and it doesn't work for me.
Maybe is there something wrong I did? I have just imported it and then posted a new thread with megavideo link on it.

Thank you again.

Installing fresh forum...
Install AME3, checking - working fine.
Move forums, threads, posts (mysql table dump-restore)...

Looks like AME3 working as expected, but i'm still testing...
