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.

I'm getting ready to upgrade to 4.1, anyone using this with it?

I will miss this great mod.. but I fully accept that these mods are done for free and since I never sent any money, all I can be is grateful that I got to use it for several years on my 3.x Forum. now that I'm moving to 4.1.... guess I'll have to look for something else. Maybe if I, and other donated, we'd have a V4.1 already.. so , who's to blame.. really?

Thanks for a great product.. it was fantastic while it lasted!

The Geek was a god for VB. IB should do everything in their power to get him back and other coders like him back. This modification and even his PDF that he made was fantastic. VB can not be the same without him.

I am impressed with DJ wanting to take over this and try and get a VB4.1 working version with all the definitions the community wants, however that is going to be a mammoth task.

I was in the process of testing a 4.1 upgrade from 3.8.x and now I feel like a massive hole has appeared because this product was just legendary!

------
With my test install, I used the rebuild feature for my old 2.5 definitions. It converted them fine from ame to URLS but it could not convert them to the new format.

Also posting a youtube url only posted it as a url, it did not embed it.

Do you think this is the definition or maybe being on 4.1? I even just tried this: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....&postcount=608

Edit: I kept on reading and found this post https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....&postcount=713 I think that is making everything work properly again.

Edit again: If anyone is having problems than you should install this version https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....&postcount=713

I am running VB 4.1 and everything is now working perfect with this version including updating my old AME bbcode over to the new BBcode and auto embedding etc.

Now all I need is more definitions. It is nice to have it working again. Thanks to those who have helped out in this thread, much appreciated.

My Master XML for 2.5 only works with AME 2.5. It's not compatable with AME 3 since all the variables changed.

Digital Jedi ! It's gonna be sweet to see this mod on a xenForo install!

This would be so so awesome, Just upgraded to 4.1 pl2, but it wont work on it now right?

I tried installing this mod, but when it is installed I get this error when trying to create a new thread:

Warning: require_once([path]/includes/ame_prep.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in [path]/includes/class_bootstrap.php(384) : eval()'d code on line 46

Pretty sure that means some files are in the wrong location.
