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.

The philosophy is stupid. Perfection is indeed possible in technology. While we may not be at the stage for complex software to be perfectly bug-free, there are certainly smaller software platforms without bugs. And that's not even to speak of what the future holds.

But we're digressing. Let's keep on topic.

Has anyone gotten gametrailers codes to work on this? If so please help.

[MonkYZ]

Yes, i've made my own gametrailers definition. I'm sure it's not perfect, but works ok for my website. You can see an example working in here: http://www.consolegames.ro/forum/f8-...os/index4.html

I'll try to guide you on how to add the definition:
1. Go to Administrator Control Panel
2. Go to AME CP
3. Go to Add New
4. In provider textbox enter "Gametrailers.com"
5. In tag textbox enter "gametrailers" (without quotes)
6. In URL textbox enter

PHP Code:

http://www.gametrailers.com 


7. In Regex URL textbox enter

PHP Code:

http:\/\/www\.gametrailers\.com\/video\/.*\/([0-9]+) 


8. Leave Regex Scrape empty
9. Enter this code in Embed textbox

PHP Code:

<center><div><embed src="http://media.mtvnservices.com/mgid:moses:video:gametrailers.com:{vb:raw code}" width="640" height="385" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowFullScreen="true" allowScriptAccess="always" base="." flashVars=""></embed></div></center> 


10. Choose Save
11. Go to AME CP Tools and Rebuild. You're done!

Hope it helps! Enjoy!

Doesn't work for me with 4.1.4 anymore sadly. I went through the read me and no really much in regards to tech support when it doesn't work but says not to say that it just doesn't work when you have a problem. Well I dunno what else to say, it just stopped converting when I upgraded to the newest VB.

[eurocrewpr]

mine not working not converting help!
