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.

Upload the files and reimport the \includes\xml\product-ame.xml

Editing core files is the incorrect way to do things. They did add the hook so the following will fix the issue.

1. AdminCP>Plugins & Producs>Plugin Manager>Add New
2.
Product: AME3
Hook: data_parse_bbcode_video (not data_preparse_bbcode_video_start)
Title: AME - Parse bbcode video
Execution Order: 1
Plugin Code:

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

3. Plugin is active 'Yes'
4. Save


If you have cache enabled you might have to clear that.

OMG that's all we need. Yet another way to make it work. And I wonder with what version they added the hook? It's been a nightmare with the one 'fix' and now we'll have two of them floating around.

Can someone please contact the author and get him to mark the code as reusable so someone can just code this into the xml? Or can it be coded separately as an add-on or something?

It's not another way. It's the right way.

But I get your point and I agree with you.

This is a great mod, but there is one thing that I can't figure out..

Is is possible to have all the embedded Youtube videos play in HQ by default? Or at least have the option to choose quality from the embedded player?

Probably the closest you'll come is Full Screen Button in Youtube embedded Videos. After all, you can't actually embed an HD video. Certainly not a 1080p video anyway as that would fill most people's screens.

Then there's the fact that many (most?) videos don't even have an HD version.

Has anyone else noticed that this version (on VB4) doesn't seem to embed in a method that works on the iPhone or the iPad, but the previous version did (VB3) did?

This is incorrect.

AdminCP>AME CP>Display>Youtube

Change the embed to:

<object width="853" height="510"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/{vb:raw code}?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US&amp;rel=0&amp;hd=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/{vb:raw code}?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US&amp;rel=0&amp;hd=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="853" height="510"></embed></object>

For best results you would increase the size to 1280x750 but that would look stupid inside posts because it's too bad. You can mess with the width and height in the above to get it just right for your board.

Thank you! That is exactly what I was looking for. 853 x 510 is perfect for my site.
