AME - Auto Media Embedding (youtube, Amazon, google, myspace, etc...)
Developer Last Online: Jan 2019
From the inventors of Swiss Cheese and the Egg comes AME - The Automatic Media Embedding System.
Note that Version 2.0.0 can be found here AME is derived from GAL 6 base code but instead of linking keywords, it converts URLs that users paste or enter in their posts into inline embedded video streams. Big credit goes out to mfyvie for the original concept that jazzed me up enough to lift code that I have been working on to radically improve his fresh idea. Though the same goal, I have taken a totally different approach to his initial release. This mod is 100% steaming fresh code straight from the Geeks oven of love. First... the overview AME scans new and edited posts for pre-defined patterns of URLs (i.e. youtube's). If it finds a match, it swaps the url tag for an ame tag. When a post get parsed for bbcode and an ame tag is found, instead of hammering away at the post with umpteen bbcodes, AME quietly figures out which pre-defined embedding should be placed there and... viola', you have a pretty little embedded video like this: Attachment 66927 This is significantly faster, has much lower overhead and is much easier to manage than loads of bbcodes or a than scanning every single post as the user views it to see if there are any conversions that need to be made. Now for the bells and whistles AME:
Add ons AME comes configured with YouTube, Myspacetv, Google Video, Bolt, iFilm, Yahoo, Dailymotion, Amazon and MetaCafe Support built in. Since the amount of providers are always changing and most sites will only need a particular amount, AME has been designed with an import and export system to allow members to easily share formats with one another. In fact, the second post of this thread is updated periodically to relflect those add ons. Currently there are over 12 more additional formats contributed by AME users. Click here to see them.

Troubleshooting See this post on troubleshooting A note about support and such I have my plate pretty full with taking care of my commercial mods and the support that comes with them. Saying that, I will help when I can - but to be honest, I have ensured that there should be little to no support needed on this mod as it is very much self contained. Please do not PM or post asking me to give you regexp's to support additional media streams. I built the system so that you can add your own providers as well as the ability to import and export them. If you still need a pattern but are not great with regular expressions (who is?) then I suggest getting RegExpBuddy. Although I am not expert at regular expressions, I did a quick start tutorial on AME regexps here if you want to check it out. I don't mind you guys asking amongst each other for these things, but just note that I will most likely not respond to the requests. I will reserve the first couple of posts in this thread to periodically add user contributed patterns to import and for additional information (I hate mega long first post's in the release section). So check there for up to date information. nJoy Show Your Support

A couple of site say it's working okay on 3.7. I haven't had a chance to thougougly test it yet, but it appears to be working on my demo board just fine. Sadly, I don't think there will be any more updates. The Geek turned over his paid mods to Calorie, but I don't think she'll be taking over his free mods as well. Quote:

It seems to work just fine on 3.7. Has anyone gotten it to work in profile posts?

The problem I had was using bbcode php tag wrap. It gave all kinds of errors. It may not for you though. Hopefully the 3.7.0 update will come out.

I haven't had any issues with 3.7 other than WMA files autostarting but I just figured out how to fix that so they no longer autostart....FINALLY!
In case anyone was wondering: In the <object> tag the following line should be: Code:
<param name="autostart" value="false"> Code:
ShowControls="1" autostart="0" |

Hey everyone, I wanted to pop in and give a HUGE thanks to Jedi, hotwheels and the others for the amazing amount of support they have given everyone since I had to hang up my coders hat late last year.
Remember that destination sites like dailymotion, etc... can (and do) change their parameters from time to time which may require tweaking AME's definitions (which several users have done and shared). This is how AME was designed, to allow users to tweak, update, create and share all without having to update the AME code itself. I keep getting a lot of PMs on here asking for AME use in blogs, user comments and other areas. TBH, I originally assumed that it would automatically do so, but on closer inspection vB uses different hooks and sometimes different classes for processing BBcode in these areas, so additional hooks and functions would have to be added to AME in order to accommodate this extended functionality. Saying that, it wouldn't be hard at all to do so for any experienced vB coder. Between the additional functionality (that would be minor to do) and the additional XML definitions that users have updated or created I REALLY wish that .org had a sourceforge like ability to at least share out project development. One day maybe! FWIW, AME works quite happily on 3.6 and 3.7 versions of vBulletin I am pretty proud that this was my last community release (for the foreseeable future). Thanks for making it such a popular solution for so many sites. I hope you all get a lot of great use out of the work that was put into it. nJoy |

My only curiosity is if this will ever support MP3's? So many people upload MP3s and want them to automatically play. I really see this as a modification that could be the absolute best when it comes to multi-media mods for vbulletin. |
