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 agree I installed the definitions as suggested, yet it still doesn't work. It just shows the link.

Is it possible to get rid of the blue bar above the video?

Sure, just edit the AME templates.

There is a tool in the AME CP for converting other media tags (like [media]) back into URL tags. Once that is done, there is another tool that will convert urls into AME tags.

Thanks - Can someone tell me where/how to do this?

[testbot]

how can we add a new variable?

i see $ameinfo[url] and $ameinfo[title] but would like to add $ameinfo[threadtitle]

thought it would be just a matter of adding $threadinfo[title] but it wasn't.

thanks for the help.

I have just erturned from vacation so am pretty swamped, but will try to look at it when I get some time

Sorry, forgot about my post.

Anyway, here is the url i'm trying to embed:

http://www.gamesopoly.com/game/1979/...orcements.html

I'm using AME 2.5.5

The display definition should be attached.
