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.

Can't get youtube vids to display on the CMS in firefox or IE6 or IE8. Not sure about IE7. Works in Chrome.

Uhoh, what have I don't to break this?

I had it installed and it was working fine and then uninstalled it. I didn't delete the files from the server, just uninstalled from the ACP. I was troubleshooting some stuff on my forum (unrelated to AME) and had to uninstall at the time.

I then tried to reinstall by simply reuploading the product, but now it's not parsing any of the other videos (such as google video, hulu, etc). Not sure why.

Any ideas?

FYI, I thought hulu wasn't working for me, but it seems that it was just LOST episodes. Everything else on hulu seems to embed just fine for me.

Yes, please, I also have a similar issue. I need to replace all of my [youtube] with [video] tags. I'm tempted to just do a "Find and Replace" in the database (would that even work?)

But I'd love it if there were some other method from the forum side, or through this mod.

Oh yes. The db backups you make everyday (I'm sure!) are plain text files. If you know SQL you could maybe construct a query.

can anyone confirm if there is an issue with firefox not displaying youtube videos?

I can. I often have to reload the page to see the video. But that's better than it used to ba a month ago when I had to edit a post to see the video.

has anybody tried to make a widget for this that can post in the CMS?
