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.

After the upgrade, the rebuild tool worked to convert my AME tags to URLs, but it's not doing the second step and converting them to video tags. What did I miss?

This documentation is hilarious, btw.

Kether

Yes, that should do this.

Nothing. There are two type of AME tags, one gets converted with no problem ("straight" ame to url, i.e. [ame]some.link.to.some.video[/ame]) and "complicated" one ([ame=name.of.video]some.link.to.some.video[/ame].

I don't know other way but manually change this. Maybe someone could come up with sql query to search and replace all "complicated" ame tags?

Even more strangely, I went back in and simply deleted those two lines suggested in the code above but the problem persisted. Only when I overwrote the file with my original download did the problem go away.

WEIRD!

YOU ARE A GODSEND..... I HAVE BEEN TROUBLESHOOTING THIS FOR HOURS!!!! Double posts using Firefox.... and also edit and save would not load.

Your post above fixed my issue, because I did try adding that code and then removing it, same as you, because it did not work. Thank you so much for posting this!

Go to AdminCP, AME CP, choose Add New.

For Provider: YouTube New (or whatever you like as a name for it)
Tagoption: youtuben (this can be anything you like, but unique, I just added n to stress it's new youtube tag)
URL: http://youtu.be
Regex URL: http:\/\/youtu\.be\/([a-z0-9-_]+) (this must looks like this, I used old original youtube regex to construct this one based on new youtube links)
Regex Scrape: leave empty
Embed:

<object width="660" height="400"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/{vb:raw code}?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US&amp;rel=0&amp;hd=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/{vb:raw code}?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US&amp;rel=0&amp;hd=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="660" height="400"></embed></object>

Here I'm using code for HD video. It's the same as for old YouTube videos, because links just get redirected to old site (new links a just much simpler on us users). You can change width and height of video. Also you can disable HD if you want it.

Priority: 0

are you having any problems with the object code when someone just copies the strait url?

[Alan_SP]

Do you mean, if someone copies youtube link to my site or just some other link to something else?

In both cases I didn't notice any problems. Regex takes care of unknown links to get skiped by AME3.
