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 database errors after doing that 4.1.2 upgrade you guys are talking about in here: http://github.com/rcdesign/vb-foreig...aster/vb-ame3/

how do i use the patch file?

I don't know what's wrong with your installation. I downloaded all files and put them on server, installed product allowing to overwrite old one and everything worked fine.

Did you uninstalled old version? I don't know what you had before, did you installed AME for the first time?

And you don't use patch file at all. You have installation of AME that is patched. Install it as you would unpatched AME.

this is what i did:

i downloaded the original AME file and uploaded into server
installed the original XML file
uploaded the upgraded files into server

what next?

Correct upgrade procedure is different.

You should first uninstall AME2.x, remove all the files (manual states which exactly, but you can also look in old installation to see what files you uploaded), but leave AME tags.

After uninstallation you upload new files, import product (XML) file, and convert old AME tags.

My guess is, problem is because you didn't unistall old AME.

Basically, you should read instructions first. Always.

Too many posts about how to make this work.

So what needs to be done to make this work?
What to install?

That's strange. I use it now with 4.1.2 with no problems. You can check updates history: https://github.com/rcdesign/vb-forei...master/vb-ame3 . Nothing serious changed for last year

You don't need patch, it's for development & historic reasons. Source files are already patched and have the same structure, as original. XML import is in the same place, as in original mod.

WOW something is not working right, videos do not parse in 4.1.2 and there are no usergroup settings in the admin area.
