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.

If your talking about the fix, where you edit this template > includes/functions_video.php !

It did actually work but every post you made you get a message, thanks for posting, if you posted a poll you will be automatically brought to it.

Its basically making a call every time and you dont need this especially for QR and slow server loads..

Thats a file edit, not a template edit. And I've had no such issues.

And DJ: I'm only using the default stuff, cause I'll never be able to wrap my head around regex. So out of the box, it works perfectly...

Perhaps the 4.1 re-write solved this mystery for me on my 4.0.6.

I had this mod working on my test site, however once I installed on my live site it quit working. My test site was an exact copy of the live site, I recently upgraded to 4.1.0.

This mod works perfectly on 4.1.

After spending whole day, i finally find solution.

Now this mod working for me on 4.1
For example, i'll talk about youtube.

If you want up&run this mode, try doing next:
1. Make sure, what your forum parsing youtube links. For this try make new post by extended editor, and insert link by standard "video link" dialog (pic 1.)
2. If link still not work check two settings. First - make sure, what allow remote retrieval count not equal zero. Go to Admin CP => Options => BB Code Settings (pic 2). Second - make sure, what forum where your try post link have enabled IMG tag. Go to Admin CP => Forum and moderators => Forum manager => Your forum, choose edit=> Enable\Disable Features, and check [IMG] settings (pic 3).
3. Then, if your link start working properly, you may install AME as described. After install, just edit this file - functions_video.php.

Find

global $vbulletin;

and insert after this

require_once(DIR . '/includes/ame_prep.php');
$providers = ame_data_preparse($pagetext);

If you wan't edit any file, try this version - https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....&postcount=713
It's worked for me also.

Yep. You're done!

Nothing new, just placed in one place..

I finally had a chance to do this and it resolved my problem. Thank you!

I've problems with changing the old AME-Codes from the older version "[AME] to ones which can be used in AME3. I've changed the [AME] links now to [URL]-Codes but how can I change it back so I can embed the videos ?

Was this done using the Tools option in AME 3 for rebuilding posts?

Hmm, I've got the same issue. I used the Admin control panel to perform the rebuild but all videos have remained URLs.

Ed. Just needed to read a little higher and modify the file. Thanks guys for the fix
