Major Additions - AME 2.5 - Media Embedding for posts, sigs, vm's, groups and blogs

From the makers of the letters O and Yea comes the hottest 'must have mod' of the season: AME 2.5 - The Return of The Hot Mama.

Thanks everyone for making AME 2.5 Mod of the Month

AME is the multi award winning modification that smartly scans new and edited posts for URLs from a customisable variety of web sites (i.e. YouTube or Amazon or about 200 others). If it finds a match, AME will 'transform' the URL into inline embedded media without your users ever having to even think about it.

It was important for me to create a system that did not need updating (and subsequent reinstalling) every time one of the sites it supported decided to change the way it displayed its media (which is all the fricken time). Therefore I built a system in which the 'definitions' for each site could be imported, exported, tweaked and shared on a whim. This way, you only have to import the definitions that you want. It also allows the vB community to get creative and share definitions that I wouldn't of thought of!

Which sites are supported?

Included in the default installation is YouTube and Amazon. At time of posting this, I believe that there are over 180 sites supported that have been created by the vBulletin community. These range from sites that stream videos to Amazon referral links to locally hosted music and video files.

Check out the 'add ons' section of this post below to see availible add-ons.

For a total list of features and an FAQ, see click here.
For a post on troubleshooting, click here.

Though not tested on any version of vBulletin lower than 3.7.4, in theory it should work on versions 3.5 and higher (just dont quote this bit!).

Big thanks goes out to all those in the community that have supported this mod. Especially Digital Jedi who gives great support on this mod and has created over 160 definitions for this system alone!


Installation/Upgrade

• Upload the contents of the forums folder into your forums directory and import the product-ame.xml file into your product manager (if upgrading, choose 'yes' to overwrite previous installation).
• After installation, make sure that the system is on (admincp->AME CP->Settings)
• Then you may want to try to rebuild old URLs via the tools option.

With a default AME install on default vB, the largest flag one works for me OR your server does not allow for extraction (via cCurl or file_get_contents). Since the URL isn't resolving, I would guess the latter. Turn off the Extract Destination setting in your AME settings page.

HTHs

yes when i Turn off the Extract Destination setting in my AME settings the youtube videos working start....

so why it will not working with Extract Destination setting in my AME settings and how it can working start with Extract Destination setting in my AME

please help on that.

As per my above post, your server doesnt allow cCurl or file_get_contents. At least 1 of those functions are required to extract data from the target web sites.

That link was made over a week ago. Have you tried editing/saving?

This is a great mod, however, is it possible to force AME to use a media bbcode or something? I'm sure there are some people who would want the choice of linking as well.

Edit: Nevermind, I see the posting option. Thanks!

New problem though: Any line breaks added in for formatting after any media parsed by AME gets removed.

As I said above, the media isnt validating because you have the extraction setting turned on, but your server doesn't support ccurl OR file_fet_contents via a URL wrapper. Turn off the extraction setting and/or remove the validation for the youtube definition.

Hey there,

I don't quite understand what you're saying here. Can you post an example?

Also, please click install if you installed it

Thanks!

Do you mean using vB's function to post RSS feeds as threads? In theory it should work, though in all honesty I haven't ever tested it so it could require some tweaking. Can you please provide an example of the RSS feed you are using so I can test?

You can test any Youtube rss. Every day I run manually the rebuild tool of Ame to parse that links :/

Ok, Ill look into seeing how it can be supported in the next version (but can't promise anything until I have looked into it )
