Automatic Embedded Video (youtube, plus many more)
Developer Last Online: May 2008 
This hack has been withdrawn. Read on for an explanation. Shortly after the initial release I was contacted by another developer who had some ideas for the mod. This developer basically rewrote a new mod based on my original concept. Unfortunately we couldn't come to an agreement on a way to develop and support the future of this mod. Since he has released his mod separately, and it does pretty much everything my original mod did and is more efficient for those running large systems, I have decided to discontinue the further development of my mod. I took this decision because I don't believe that it makes sense to have two mods out there doing the same thing. I recommend to all users, both present and future, that you switch over to his mod instead (here). I've taken a look at it and I think it's a great mod and you'll all be very happy with it. I understand that he will also provide routines to import and convert tags used by my mod, this should also make your life easier.
Since I will not develop this mod further, I am also withdrawing support for it. Since I don't believe there is such a thing as an unsupported mod (since people will ALWAYS ask for and expect support regardless) I have therefore withdrawn the file from download. I hope some of you can understand my decision. This mod has had a short but happy life, and I wish you all the best with the replacement mod. Thank you to everyone who has offered encouragement so far, and I hope to see you on my next mod. I've left the original text below for historical reasons: What does this mod do? If a user copies and pastes a URL that links to a video streaming service (such as youtube) the mod will automatically take the URL and convert it into an embedded form directly in the post itself. Users can now play the videos directly from the thread! In other words:
The initial version contains support for sixteen different video services. If others contribute the required information for other services, this is likely to grow. The initial version (1.0) contains support for the following services: Youtube, Metacafe, iFilm, Putfile, Bolt, Google Video, Guba, Grouper, Revver, Atom Films, Veoh, Myspace Video, Vimeo, Vmix, Eyespot, Liveleak, Sapo Which services does it not support? Many video sites don't provide enough information in the URLs to make automatic embedding possible. The following services were checked and found to be impossible to use with this mod: Photobucket, Daily Motion, vidiLife, Yahoo Video, AOL Uncut, Yikers, vSocial, ManiaTV, Phanfare, CastPost, Jumpcut, Sharkle, Clipshack, Filecow, Break Please don't request that these services be included in this mod - it's not possible. If you'd like to try and figure out how to do it yourself - please do! Why is this different to other mods? Other mods require you to enter BB Code yourself, but more importantly they require the user to have to add the tags themselves. Users are notoriously lazy and often won't even bother to use BB Code. This mod suits lazy users - it handles everything automatically without the user having to do anything - they just copy and paste the URL! How do I install it? Download the enclosed .xml file. In your AdminCP -> Plugins and Products -> Manage Products -> Add/Import Product use the browse button to upload the .xml file you just downloaded and make sure "Allow Overwrite" is set to yes if you are upgrading from a previous version. Click "Import". Installation time - 30 seconds. How do I configure it? Go to AdminCP -> vBulletin Options -> Automatic Embedded Video. All settings are pretty much self explanatory and there is nothing that needs to be changed for most forums. Are there any limitations? The hack will only work with properly formatted URLs. If the user mangles them, it may not work. Only new messages posted will be affected and this mod will not have any effect on any URLs you may paste in while editing. It will only take effect when you preview or submit new posts! Is there a downside to this mod? None that I can think of! Will new services be added in future? Possibly. Make sure you click "Installed" so that you'll be notified about new versions. How can I expand it myself? See the first post on this thread for details. User Testimonials What have people been saying about this mod? "Anyway, this is be far the best mod of the year! something so simple, yet so effective! My members and myself love it. Thanks again." - hornstar1337 "No way! This Hack is simply a Must!!" - Silvio "simply the best mod ever." - kushal "You are my hero. My users are always F'n up the BBcode that should be so simple and now its idiot proof." - MortysTW "Thanks very much for the mod - very simple to install yet useful as anything." - p0ng0 "Sorry I had to come and re-post how excited this mod has made me lol." - Fleabag "Working great with vbSEO" - mtlcore "I have only tested a few videos so far but works like a charm!!! What an awesome mod!!!" - RichieBoy67 Version History 1.0 - Initial release (23.06.2007) (updated a couple of hours after release with some minor fixes 01:31 24.06.2007 GMT) 1.1 - Feature upgrade (26.06.2007). Added ability to include/exclude users, groups or forums. Added feature to replace even when BB Code permissions don't allow it. Added feature to both embed the video AND display the original URL above the video. Loosened logic to include variations in URLs for certain services (different countries, domains, etc). Should cover a wider range of URLs now. More video services coming soon... 27.06.2007 - Mod withdrawn. Details above and here. Show Your Support

It is awesome having them done with such simplicity. Not that I am saying this was simple to do!
mfyvie - Good news on the convertor for old posts, I'll keep my eyes peeled. One problem I have though is that I run a custom module through GARS, containing the video URL which was previously parsed by Anymedia. Your updater would alas miss out that info, so I am unable to move the data to show an actual video. Any thoughts? And thanks again! I mean wow! Edit: I applied the change to the execution order but it seems vBSEO is still winning over. I managed to post an initial video but it seems each once since gets URL'ised before it can be video'ised.

VBSEO isn't the only module that forms titles from links, check out
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=146679 I have this installed and assume it would interfere with this module ?

Great! This will be nice for "video threads" where the members often paste links.
It seems to miss them if you have a youtube.com link instead of www.youtube.com -Raymond

This is weird as hell. I tried this hack both on my live server and my test server. No way i can get this working. On my test server i don't have vBSEO installed at all. BB Codes are on. Both of my servers use Php 5.1.6 MySql 5.0.22 . Live server has Apache , test server has lighttpd on it.

Lizard King, please see post #1 with a list of things I require in a bug report. At the VERY LEAST I need the URLs that you are trying run through this mod! So far only a single person has ever provided this to me, and it makes it DAMN hard when trying to figure out if my regular expressions need to be improved or not. I take it also that you've tried different services with different video, and haven't just been testing the same URL each time?

This looks truly awesome, but it is a shame that a feature in vbseo will need to be turned off first, hopefully there can be another solution for this.

I changed the execution order of this hack, to 1, and it all works just fine now. Working with vBSEO. I'm guessing this technically should deal with the URL before anything else - as long as vB gets there first I'm happy. Will changing execution order to 1 have any detremental effects?
