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.

Has anyone created some video codes for this? I'm looking of gametrailers.com and any other video game sites. I will try to work on some and share them when I get a chance.

Ahh, sorry, I misread your post before. I noticed the problem after editing the page too.. guess we need to wait for 4.0.4

Here's an alternative YouTube definition which has the fullscreen button and HD enabled. Valid XHTML.

<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" style="width:640px; height:385px;" data="http://www.youtube.com/v/{vb:raw code}?rel=0&amp;showsearch=0&amp;fs=1">
<param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/{vb:raw code}?rel=0&amp;showsearch=0&amp;fs=1" /><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" />
</object>

As always you use this code at your own risk but I will attempt to help anyone with difficulties.

I'm not aware of any GameTrailer's definition. I was planning to do one myself but if you have already that will save me a job

One final note - is there any news of the Geek?

Anyone have a megavideo definition?

Anyone knows how to get this to work again on Vbulletin 4.0.3? The fix posted:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....&postcount=608

Doesn't work for me. The youtube URL's sticks just being url's.

EDIT:
It seems to work, but when I edit someone's reply and add a youtube link in to it, it doesn't seem to grab it as a streamed video but rather uses a link instead.

Installed following the instructions on my 4.0.3 board, videos work fine, but it's broken post edits.

To specify, I get a database error when trying to edit a post.

Invalid SQL:
SELECT id FROM ame_disabled_posts WHERE id=179 and typeid=1;

Quick question:

Is AME3 going to be supported like it was before VB4? AME3 seems to be still broken and no video definitions are being made to my knowledge. Where'd all of the community support go?

[War.Frog]

I notice the "Supported" tag has been updated to Not Supported, and The Geek hasn't been around since last month. I'm venturing to guess he's walking away from this, but I hope I'm wrong.

They're being made, just what's changed is it's not as much a community effort like it was last time. So it's not happening as fast. It's just me this time (as far as I know) and I'm trying to convert the old set as quickly as I can. Unfortunately, that's not very quick.

To my knowledge, The Geek has never kept an AME modification marked as Supported for very long. Usually once he get's the bugs worked out, he prefers to let the mod stand on it's own. Hence the user end ability to create definitions. Keeps him from having to update it all the time.

Does AME work with the Blogging system?
