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.

Turns out all of the forums defaulted to Not allow video code. Changed these in Forum Manager and it works as advertised. (with the extra "AME parse bbcode video" plugin code)

If you're having trouble I hope you're fix is this simple.

I'll have to give this a try. Thanks!

I don't see anything in forum manager regarding video on my end and I have both AME and AME'fy installed.

Tested this out and it's not working for me either after the upgrade. All my old videos from vb 3.8 with the old AME mod now just shows the coding and not the video

Product: AME3

Title: AME - Parse bbcode video
Execution Order: 1
Plugin Code:

global $vbulletin; 
require_once(DIR . '/includes/ame_prep.php'); 
$providers = ame_data_preparse($pagetext);

3. Plugin is active 'Yes'
4. Save


If you have cache enabled you might have to clear that.

Trying this out.

Once I have it added, how do you check if you have cache enabled?

It's all working for me now.

I have a vimeo URL from a channel RSS like:
http://vimeo.com/channels/paragliding#43217467 but the actual individual video is

http://vimeo.com/43217467

is it possible to parse this out into the correct video?

I just upgraded to vb4.2.0 and these two mods below got this working great for me.

Edit includes/functions_video.php and change:

PHP Code:

function parse_video_bbcode($pagetext)
{
    global $vbulletin; 


to

PHP Code:

function parse_video_bbcode($pagetext)
{
    global $vbulletin;
require_once(DIR . '/includes/ame_prep.php');
$providers = ame_data_preparse($pagetext);
