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've never seen a php line start with a single slash... looks like you might have tried to comment it out "//" before but had the single slash as a typo- the single slash could be causing your error.

Oh sorry, I didn't copy/paste it right.

It's correctly commented out. Without it being commented out, I get that SQL error.

The problem is this mod is not made for 4.x.

I might have missed the answer in the other 50 some odd pages, but how do I get the mod to allow more then 1 to be embedded, say I post 2 videos on one post how do i get both to show up, only 1 link per post is showing up for me.

Edit: NM, it just doesnt seem to work for certain youtube links.

I have an RSS plugin that will watch a feed, then create a post in a thread automatically.

The subsequent post isn't parsed by AME because it gets posted by a job that runs every 30 minutes.

If I edit then save the post, its parsed correctly.

Any thoughts to a workaround?

HTHs!

I'm using the built in RSS feed poster and the same thing is happening - its not parsing the link until I edit and save the post... any way around this? thanks in advance...

Is it possible to embed HD videos by default with this product any more? I downloaded the extensions XML and that too is using the same old SD small box videos.

I am getting this code output:

<script type="text/javascript">ame_toggle_view({,other : 'true',post : 'true',blog : 'true',group : 'true',vm : 'true',sig : 'true'});</script>

It is giving me a JavaScript errors because of the comma before the other variable.

i have installed this plugin but it still showing urls however i check the (Automatically embed media (requires automatic parsing of links in text to be on). )
it may be cause i'm disabling the Autolink parse on vbseo ?
