Major Additions - AME 2.5 - Media Embedding for posts, sigs, vm's, groups and blogs

From the makers of the letters O and Yea comes the hottest 'must have mod' of the season: AME 2.5 - The Return of The Hot Mama.

Thanks everyone for making AME 2.5 Mod of the Month

AME is the multi award winning modification that smartly scans new and edited posts for URLs from a customisable variety of web sites (i.e. YouTube or Amazon or about 200 others). If it finds a match, AME will 'transform' the URL into inline embedded media without your users ever having to even think about it.

It was important for me to create a system that did not need updating (and subsequent reinstalling) every time one of the sites it supported decided to change the way it displayed its media (which is all the fricken time). Therefore I built a system in which the 'definitions' for each site could be imported, exported, tweaked and shared on a whim. This way, you only have to import the definitions that you want. It also allows the vB community to get creative and share definitions that I wouldn't of thought of!

Which sites are supported?

Included in the default installation is YouTube and Amazon. At time of posting this, I believe that there are over 180 sites supported that have been created by the vBulletin community. These range from sites that stream videos to Amazon referral links to locally hosted music and video files.

Check out the 'add ons' section of this post below to see availible add-ons.

For a total list of features and an FAQ, see click here.
For a post on troubleshooting, click here.

Though not tested on any version of vBulletin lower than 3.7.4, in theory it should work on versions 3.5 and higher (just dont quote this bit!).

Big thanks goes out to all those in the community that have supported this mod. Especially Digital Jedi who gives great support on this mod and has created over 160 definitions for this system alone!


Installation/Upgrade

• Upload the contents of the forums folder into your forums directory and import the product-ame.xml file into your product manager (if upgrading, choose 'yes' to overwrite previous installation).
• After installation, make sure that the system is on (admincp->AME CP->Settings)
• Then you may want to try to rebuild old URLs via the tools option.

I had to set mine up at 1500 before I anything showed up, so try larger numbers. Go really big and then trim down from there.

Oh its working perfectly now

all that i do is make the characters 1500 and more as you said, so its work now

you are the man :up: thanks for help and support .

i dont know what happened....something to do with my crappy host im sure due to issues i just had with them.

anyways, the videos arent showing up now. i have to click edit and then save to have the video show up. the link to the video is still in the post, but its not showing itself in the thread at all, even a link or title. so i click edit, and i see the link in the threads original area, and i click save and the video loads....

this is happening on all the threads. what can i do to fix this?

I have two questions.

I have installed this mod however when I go into any of the options in the AMECP all I get is a screen which says "Page Not found"

and

Does this also support Vimeo, I thought it did but they do not work for me as auto embedding.

Thanks

That means that your files didn't upload or they're in the wrong location. Make sure you uploaded them to the right place.

Only two definitions are default. The additional websites are available in my add-on.

I'm not sure how you mean to phrase that, but this was not designed for vB4. You need AME 3 for that.
