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.

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

That link won't work even if you put it in the default vB video popup because it contains invalid characters

I kind of figured it out, the link for youtube videos changed, their links are now http://www.youtube.com/watch#!v=gI6sARmxEuc instead of http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eOUq4Z6R7xI

Odd, I just clicked through a random 10 videos and none had that format. I just copied and pasted your new format and it redirected me to the standard version.

Yeah, this is something new. It's only doing this for certain language/locations, like Arabic.

I just created another definition, so both ways work now but it is odd.

what if there's a need for more than one {vb:raw code} ?

Sorry, I didn't mean I used that same link. Here's an example:

This works: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZxXlq...ature=featured

This doesn't: http://www.youtube.com/watch#!videos...&v=I3J-JGO24bo

Might have something to do with the browser. I'm using Chrome. I just randomly clicked through a bunch of videos and almost all of them were: watch#!v=

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.

oh... forgot the www. was optional on mega video. try the new attachment.

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.

I had re-run it a few times to no avail before. When I edited out the "'s in that one tag and it not only translated that fine but also all the others in the same thread that hadn't worked properly previously. I've yet to see any others it hasn't converted properly since.

Cheers
