Major Additions - AME 2.5 - Media Embedding for posts, sigs, vm's, groups and blogs

From the makers of the letters O and Yea comes the hottest 'must have mod' of the season: AME 2.5 - The Return of The Hot Mama.

Thanks everyone for making AME 2.5 Mod of the Month

AME is the multi award winning modification that smartly scans new and edited posts for URLs from a customisable variety of web sites (i.e. YouTube or Amazon or about 200 others). If it finds a match, AME will 'transform' the URL into inline embedded media without your users ever having to even think about it.

It was important for me to create a system that did not need updating (and subsequent reinstalling) every time one of the sites it supported decided to change the way it displayed its media (which is all the fricken time). Therefore I built a system in which the 'definitions' for each site could be imported, exported, tweaked and shared on a whim. This way, you only have to import the definitions that you want. It also allows the vB community to get creative and share definitions that I wouldn't of thought of!

Which sites are supported?

Included in the default installation is YouTube and Amazon. At time of posting this, I believe that there are over 180 sites supported that have been created by the vBulletin community. These range from sites that stream videos to Amazon referral links to locally hosted music and video files.

Check out the 'add ons' section of this post below to see availible add-ons.

For a total list of features and an FAQ, see click here.
For a post on troubleshooting, click here.

Though not tested on any version of vBulletin lower than 3.7.4, in theory it should work on versions 3.5 and higher (just dont quote this bit!).

Big thanks goes out to all those in the community that have supported this mod. Especially Digital Jedi who gives great support on this mod and has created over 160 definitions for this system alone!


Installation/Upgrade

• Upload the contents of the forums folder into your forums directory and import the product-ame.xml file into your product manager (if upgrading, choose 'yes' to overwrite previous installation).
• After installation, make sure that the system is on (admincp->AME CP->Settings)
• Then you may want to try to rebuild old URLs via the tools option.

I've been running the mod for months now with no issue.

However, since I added a new skin a couple days ago, it no longer works.

Links don't embed... they don't even show. (i.e. posts show up empty)

I'm not sure what the issue is, so I'll be working backward til I figure it out.

I realize that the mod's no longer supporter, but any assistance/suggestions which you guys could provide would be greatly appreciated.

I'm running vB 3.8.4, and the new skin is black-yellow by MinerSkinz.com

Check to see if your new skin created the AME templates. It should have once imported.

I see 3 templates in the style manager:

AME_container
AME_nomedia
AME_output

What else am I looking for?

Thanks

^^btw: I tried using the default vbulletin skin as well, and it no longer embeds on this skin either.

Hello Digital Jedi,

I am using your code and it seems to work fine, except when i try to use Yahoo Video.

In this case it just shows the complete link as if it was not recognized.

Can you help me ?

Then it could be that your file cache is turned of in the AME CP Settings.

With the previous skin it was turned off, but worked.

When I installed the recent skin, I turned it on.

Since the installation, it hasn't worked.

If you give me temp Admin CP access, maybe I can root the problem out for you.

That's generous of you... thanks

My site just went down. The registrar's (namecheap) servers have been hit with a DDoS attack.

When it's up again, I'll hit you with Admin CP access.

Thanks again.
