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.

Whoops lets see. Would you care to post a few items here for some real help.

1. the link or a link to a utube that is not working for you.
2. your version of vbulliten.
3. the supposed problem you have with specificity. ie symptoms and not "its not working"

Thanks

3.8
it just posts a link to the youtube video and nothing else

i just uninstalled it and reinstalled and that didn't help

<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iaeUoSEtxj0" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iaeUoSEtxj0</a>works fine in ie7 and 3.81

I would put you up a screen shot but deleted it accidentally first. It was some story about the lady with 14 kids and sounded as if it was Ellen Degeneress interviewing here.

shoot... what am i missing here then?

do you know why it would just post a link instead of embedding it?

thanks again for your reply.

OMG! I was just preiving it and in the preview it was a link but when i submitted it worked fine!

i feel so silly right now ops:

[Gladhatter]

[testbot]

i just totally felt like an major end user just now hah

anyway, thanks!

[Gladhatter]

Well not sure of the need to feel any way at all but happy it is working.

[c.c.]

My videos work at first but eventually they saw "Embedding has been disabled"? Anyone else getting this?

Same here. The videos that were working earlier now saw something like "Embedding has been disabled"? It's strange.
