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.

I have noticed that youtube is including a . in some of the video urls which causes embedding with this mod to not work.

Someone has Megavideo definition for VB4?

Thanks in advance.

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.

but it does not show the player



BTW, was anybody able to make it work for 'quickreply' with out the advance reply?

In quickreply i think the text/links are not parsed into AME3 automatically.

Also,

What is the difference between the two YT URL?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YdLvHkzCZJo <--- this is parsed with AME3 automatically.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-aOLWOwF-es <--- this is not parsed with AME3 automatically.


Lastly,

Does anybody share their ame.xml that is working on VB 4.1.3 ?

Thanks a lot!

This didn't do anything for me, regular youtube and youtu.be links both just showing up as links


There's a lot of pages to go through, am I supposed to somehow disable vb4's new horrible terrible built-in video tag?





EDIT WAIT: the above coupled with testbot's code worked fine, someone add both steps to the mod's original post man I hate how we gotta go through 70 pages of stuff to get mods working properly on this damn site thanks for the text though guys I love this thing, loved vb3 more though hate vb4 with a passion

I think i'm screwed... I've upgraded to AME3, and now i can't edit any post that contains a video link, because i get: "Database error!".

Even after disabling and uninstalling AME3, i still get the same error... Please help!

P.S. I am on vB 4.1.3

doesn't work for me, it wraps the video in the youtuben links but then it doesn't display the video
