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 mean if someone posts the url from youtube instead of the new share link. like this...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cgkj3...rec_grec_index

will it still embed that?

i'm having some slight problems and don't have time to trouble shoot so if someone already has it sorted that would be cool. the .be links work fine for me. thx for that.

New and old youtube links have different tagoption (for differentiating between new and old youtube links (old is youtube, new is youtuben, at least I just added n at the end of old youtube tagoption, you don't have to)), also regex is different.

If you have problems with old youtube links, the problem is in settings for old one. Post them here, maybe we can see where exactly problem is?

^ i'm aware of the difference between the new tags. i had my own embed/object code that i used that isn't working anymore. if you're doing HD videos then maybe you can show me what you're using for the old urls. thanks for your assistance.

my standard youtube url (old version):
regex:

http:\/\/www\.youtube\.com\/watch\?.*v=([a-z0-9-_]+)

<object class="restrain" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="640" height="385" data="http://www.youtube.com/v/{vb:raw code}?version=3&amp;color1=0xb1b1b1&amp;color2=0xcfcfcf&amp;feature=player_embedded">
	<param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/{vb:raw code}?version=3&amp;color1=0xb1b1b1&amp;color2=0xcfcfcf&amp;feature=player_embedded" />
	<param name="wmode" value="transparent" />
	<param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" />
	<!--[if IE 6]>
	<embed width="640" height="385" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/{vb:raw code}?version=3&amp;color1=0xb1b1b1&amp;color2=0xcfcfcf&amp;feature=player_embedded" allowfullscreen="true" />
	<![endif]--></object>

did you try this:

1. AdminCP>Plugins & Producs>Plugin Manager>Add New

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.

For old YT videos I use exactly same code, as new YT address just redirects you to old YT address. Copy embed code from new to old (of course, modify width and height to your liking) and that should work without problems. At least it does for me. Actually, I copied code from old for new ones. And I found code here, I don't remember in what exact post, sorry. Credits for this embed code isn't mine.

those are ones that youtube will not allow to play through imbedding. That isn't from the mod.
