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.

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.

Several posts in this thread people have had the problem "when clearing post cache embedded vids dissapear" the answer was always something like "you must have the remove AME codes turned off"

what was happening was this.

When they said post cache, you where thinking of the post rebuild option. In fact, they where talking about refreshing the actual post cache through update counters. Not rebuilding urls through the AME CP.

This is still a problem, when you refresh your post cache, embedded media dissapears unless you 'edit' the post, then it will reapper, as the URL is still there, albeit hidden. However, There is a simple workaround.

If you refresh your post cache through update counters, your embedded media will dissapear, but it is still there. All you need to do, is run the rebuild with the remove AME tags ON! so that it converts everything back to URLs, then run it again with the remove AME tag off so that it converts the URLs back to AME code, viola your videos show again.

I like to think of it as refreshing your AME media~

I hope this helps someone!

Hi fall,

also that is happening to me.

I have the passive video lite mod and I uninstalled and then install this great mod, but all the videos in my post are not showing it so I have to edit the post (only click in edit and immediately save) and the video show it again.

but maybe your solution help me a lot to don?t do all that work manually.

Could you explain me a little better ?? sorry if I am stupid my friend.

[fallxzzr]

This is what you do.

Go into your AME CP in admin CP.

Choose

AME CP => Tools => Rebuild => Posts

Then a new window will appear.

#1 option "remove AME codes" should be marked YES.

#2 option "ignore previous" marked NO

Other options set to your liking.

then press 'Save' button at the bottom.

Let the tool run its course. When it is finished go BACK to the same spot AME CP => Tools => Rebuild => Posts

This time, #1 option should be marked NO. Otherwise Leave your settings the same. Run the tool again. They should all show now.

As far as I can tell, you will have to do this any time you do 'refresh post cache' in update/counters
