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.

Product: AME3

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.

Thank you so much for this fix, my members really missed the AME feature.

Hey Mate,

I am testing this on my forum (4.1.2.) And the mod seems to convert the code as it was supposed but actually embedding does not seem to function.

I did do the hack as described above. Can anyone tell what i am doing wrong?

Thanks.

So, is anybody building definitions for this or do we all have to teach ourselves how to use that replace code stuff?

[vortodox]

There are new youtube links. Will someone work on upadte for this?

[Alan_SP]

For new youtube code (youtu.be one, if there is new one, please give link for us to see):

Go to AdminCP, AME CP, choose Add New.

For Provider: YouTube New (or whatever you like as a name for it)
Tagoption: youtuben (this can be anything you like, but unique, I just added n to stress it's new youtube tag)
URL: http://youtu.be
Regex URL: http:\/\/youtu\.be\/([a-z0-9-_]+) (this must looks like this, I used old original youtube regex to construct this one based on new youtube links)
Regex Scrape: leave empty
Embed:

<object width="660" height="400"><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="660" height="400"></embed></object>

Here I'm using code for HD video. It's the same as for old YouTube videos, because links just get redirected to old site (new links a just much simpler on us users). You can change width and height of video. Also you can disable HD if you want it.

Priority: 0

@Alan_SP
Thanks allot for this!

[AndrewJZhao]

working everywhere except blogs... :P


thanks for the plugin fix

[NextGenUpdateFR]

It doesn't works for me anymore. I think it is because I updated to vb 4.1.3. Any solution ?

How do I disable the HD? Do I just make it =to 0 instead of =to 1?
