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:
  • is lightweight as it does all of her chores without the overhead of having 1 bbcode per pattern or trying to parse a post every single time it gets displayed with a bunch of patterns. This radically reduces overhead and speeds up the processing. The only time ame will kick in is after creating a new post or after editing an existing one (or if an ame tag is found in a post)
  • is extensible. She allows you to add, edit, delete, import and export patterns. That way you can decide which services to support, how they should look and then share them with others!
  • can extract the title (requires your server to allow url wrappers with fetch_contents)
  • can extract embed code from sites whose URLs do not contain sufficient information to embed the video
  • can rebuild your old posts to convert your 'other' mediaish tags into URL tags.
  • can rebuild your old posts to convert URL tags into ame tags where needed
  • can convert her codes BACK to url codes so you're not stuffed with a bunch of dead tags if you uninstall!
  • won't uglify your site by having videos appear in quotes, php, code or html blocks (blech!)
  • can be globally disabled
  • can be excluded from forums
  • can exclude usergroups
  • can be toggled on/off per post
  • would cook dinner for you if she had arms
  • can wrap the output in a 'container' with original URL
  • has a super comprehensive admincp help system. Yes, I actually took the time to add all the info you need into vB's admincp help system. If you ask a silly question in this thread that is addressed in the help system, you will be taunted.
  • is fully phrased
  • has hooks around integral operations so you can extend it

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.

Installation
  • Upload the contents of the forums folder into your forums directory and import the product.xml file into your product manager.
  • 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.

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.

Dannyloski, I appreciate you getting revver.com to work for me. Is there anyway you can get it to work for a link like this also?

http://one.revver.com/watch/286169/flv/affiliate/71863

I know the common number is 71863

Thanks if you can

It wasn't supporting all of LiveVideo's Links and CurrentVid Links weren't working properly. Now it's fixed. Before you re-import manually delete the other ClipShack, CurrentVid, and LiveVideo Files that are installed already under the AME CP > Display section (if you do not do this you will receive some display errors). Thanks.
Thanks for the fix. :up:

Hello,

Thanks again.

Everytime I try to add a revver link it shows me a redirect with this message:

This post is a duplicate of a post that you have posted in the last five minutes. You will be redirected to that thread.

Also I messed up before in the last thread:

http://one.revver.com/watch/205218/flv/affiliate/71863

The numbers in bold and red are the video id

Thanks again

So when the player stops working and one gets an error message that says something about updating Adobe flash player tags even though I have the latest flash player, what is up with that?

Also, dumb question alert, where within the admin cp do I find which version I had installed?

Thanks guys!

jasculs, re-download Revver.xml, go into your AME CP and delete the Revver that appears there, then re-import the downloaded file.

1) Admin CP > AME CP > Display > Find "Revver Videos" > Delete

2) Re-Download Revver.xml > Admin CP > AME CP > Import > Import Revver.xml

PS. I know that the video id was the the first set of numbers not the second one, I ignored it when you mentioned it before. I found a small bug on the RegEx that was causing your error, its fixed in the new uploaded Revver.xml on Post# 379 ...

Finster, what do you mean when the player stops working? Could you explain a little bit more in detail what the problem is and how I can reproduce it? Also to see which version of AME you're running, do this:

AdminCP > Plugin & Products > Manage Products > Find "AME - The Automatic Media Embeder" > Look in "Version" Colum for Version Info

Thanks for the help Via PMS Dannyloski

I had HTML BB Code Enabled and it was Jacking thei MOd Up a bit Also theres some confusion as to what links to use on the video sites

The Embed code, The URL , The share Link ect...

I have a thread with each xml made to date for this posted , You have to be a member to see it tho ,

To get this thread to work i had to use the links to the video sites from all different areas and not just on the URL bar .

I need to go in and try to redo the ones where i used the embed code now that HTML is turned off to see if the link in the url bar works ,

WE REALLY need to make this to where the End User can use what ever link they want to ojn the video sites and all the unneeded stuff drops off ,,,, Cant You Do it ?

No problem, glad to help you guys out ...

DiesellMinded, as far as making it so that the End User can use any of the links in the Video Sites and having this work, that would be up to the coder of the .XML's and if he/she is willing to go through the trouble of making the RegExs work like that.

Personally I tried to make my RegEx so that the End User can use any of the links that are provided by the Video Sites and have the Video still show up on the Post. However, I did not add support for the Embed Code. There is no reason why someone would add the Embed Code into to a Post (I dont see why someone would do that). If they place a Link to the Video into their Post, then it will be converted into the Video automatically - this is what this system achieves.
