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.

By applying the manual fix this amazing mod works great on vb 4.1.3

Thank you

Little update on this - replacing the code you provided ends up *NOT* being able to see the video, at all, on iPad or iPhone. There's just simply nothing there, not even a link.

Reverting to the original code:

<iframe title="YouTube video player" width="640" height="390" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/{vb:raw code}" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

and adding &fmt=18 to the end of the YouTube URL, manually:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v_gQHtXsLtU&fmt=18

Does display the YouTube video in-line on the iPad, and allows it to be played within the page.

Clearly, there's still some tweaking that'll be needed for that - too bad this isn't genuinely cut/dry.

Hope this helps, though.

I'm doing something wrong. I tried code from an older thread. Heres the ESPN embed.

Apologies if this is already answered.

After a forum upgrade, I went into the REBUILD POSTS area and ran the rebuild of my posts for the last year. I really need to go back forever, however this is not an option. Is there a way to convert/upgrade all of the ame tags and not just the one's in the past year?

Thanks in advance

Sounds a little like youtube went and changed their definitions again, just judging from my prior experience with this. It's like they do that every couple of months just to screw everyone up.

But I'm about as far from an expert on the matter as someone can possibly get, so everything I posted above may be complete BS.

lol thanks anyone else?

I get the same thing, plugin is activated, files uploaded, nothing happens... video URLs just turn into links.

VB 4.1.5, brand new fresh install.
