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.

You can't. That's why they've disabled it.

You can't. It means that the publisher has prevented other sites from embedding the video. This has nothing to do with AME.

Not sure I follow you DJ. All AME does is wrap video codes around matching links. vB does the embedding?

Make sure you have done the file edit as per the readme and install instructions. Also, are you using the file cache? If you are still having problems, PM me temp admincp details so I can review. So far, both times I have looked at the problem, it was the file edit.

Im going to whip up a version to help at least prevent this. Wish vB would release 4.0.1 and fix the stupid bug.

Also people, it would be nice if you clicked install

It is very true. All AME is doing is looking at all your URL tags and if it sees that the URL tag contains a media definition, it swaps it out with a [video] tag. vBulletin does the actual processing.

Make sure you don't have an old verison of AME installed.

And click install please.

I don't click install because the script is processing the error message above. I sadly disabled the plugin.

installed and working (only tested it on you tube)

Sort of a chicken or the egg thing as many mod authors won't support you if you don't install it. *shrug*

I have just uploaded Beta3. This should address the error on some server configurations that some of you have had. Its been a real pain to track down because I still haven't been able to reproduce and it seems to be happening only certain php versions. Anyhoo - hopefully this package does the trick.

To upgrade, follow the steps in the readme (standard upgrade - replace your files and product-ame.xml)
