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.

Bottom line is this: The youtube definition that AME3 uses is vB's. If you put the url with the #! as the parameter start in the popup video box, it won't work either. If indeed that is the case, it needs to be reported as a bug in vB4 so that the base definition is updated.

Sorry, I got confused by your reply. Removing the " from the tag(s) made it convert correctly?

yep

I only removed them from one post and then converted. In the process it converted a lot of others it had missed. :up::erm:

When I add it between [video] tags it does work.
But it doesn't get embedded automatically when I just post the link.
YouTube for example, does work perfect.

May you help please?

Okay, I posted a video last night and it had the same "#!" in it, and I never noticed. I'm in Chrome too, but this is the first time it's ever done that to me. URLs looks the same as usual now. I guess the RegEx will need to be tweaked. Someone posted this in my thread last week, and they were only getting a "#", without the "!". Well, at least it's not a semicolon.

Yes it's very weird... still doesn't work for me even if I add it manually.
Maybe the author of this can help me? what do you think The Geek?
