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.

Edit includes/functions_video.php and change:

PHP Code:

function parse_video_bbcode($pagetext)
{
    global $vbulletin; 


to

PHP Code:

function parse_video_bbcode($pagetext)
{
    global $vbulletin;
require_once(DIR . '/includes/ame_prep.php');
$providers = ame_data_preparse($pagetext);

For whatever reason, editing the functions_video.php file results in serious double-posting issues. Even simply reversing the two-line edit didn't correct it...I had to replace the file with the one from my vB4 package download.

I noticed that after the 4.03 upgrade, AME quite working.

Reinstalled, no luck.

I just saw where you posted a fix for 4.03..and it worked fine.

Thanks.

I saw the same post for the fix and I tried it with no luck. This is how my includes/functions_video.php reads:

I did the same fix. With the code edit I am able to parse the videos fine, however now whenever someone posts/replies/previews a post the formatting is all messed up.

Not sure why, but doing that single file edit fixes the video portion, but it messes up the posting. Could be a conflict but I don't know.

I hate these VB updates.

i just upgraded the forum to vb4 and put this on here, and the videos arent showing, just lniks. youtube videos. any ideas? thanks.

That's correct. The posted workaround is actually more problematic, so I've returned to using the included tag until this is functional again.
