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.

It's unknown just yet. It works with vBa, but I don't know if vBd uses the same postbit hooks.

As there is no Photobucket definition, then that's to be expected.

What was the problem you were having?

Same issue for me. This is unfortunate as my members like the embedded functionality. Will keep an on on this thread for a fix. Below is the contents of my funtions_video.php with the mod configured.

PHP Code:

function parse_video_bbcode($pagetext)
{
    global $vbulletin;
require_once(DIR . '/includes/ame_prep.php');
$providers = ame_data_preparse($pagetext);

    ($hook = vBulletinHook::fetch_hook('data_parse_bbcode_video')) ? eval($hook) : false;

    if (stripos($pagetext, '[video]') !== false)
    {
        require_once(DIR . '/includes/class_bbcode_alt.php');
        $parser = new vB_BbCodeParser_Video_PreParse($vbulletin, array());
        $pagetext = $parser->parse($pagetext);
    }

    return $pagetext;
}

ame is not updating the url to video BB code

vbulletin isnt doing it either. then i noticed my functions_video.php was empty. its a fresh download and install of vB 4.1.1

[AzH]

Installed.

[Respawn.be]

Installed on a fresh vB 4.1.1 and runs like a treat

Likewise I've had to uninstall due to the double posting bug.

AME is a fantastic mod but for me it just doesn't work anymore. A great shame considering how popular it was with the community.

same as me mate

What I find a bit confusing is that some seem to have made it work using the fix on 4.1.1, whereas others cannot - Is it just the double posting issue?

I've been usiing this mod on my 3.7 forums for a long time, and I was hoping it would migrate to the 4.1.x frontier, but after reading all these pages I have hesitated.
