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.

You need to ask about my custom definitions in my thread.

When I post in a pre-formatted amazon UK link (with my associate ID embedded) it gets converted to a non-working url without my associate tag. Any suggestions?

Also, it doesn't render eBay links at all?

Hi DJ, will this work on VB4.0.2PL4 as is, or do you have a vb4 version in the making? (I did look but couldn't find it in the vb4 forums)

No, you need AME 3. All of The Geek's modifications are listed in his profile.

I have a Big problem in my board vB 3.8.3

I have installed passiveVideo Lite for the videos but I think of installing AME's for the audio (goear) will be a good complement, so, I install AME's but makes a great problem in my board:
- The URLs are double parsed in the posts, so when I post a url like youtube.com in the WYSWYG Editor the URL appears double checked so how can I fix it? I try several times the reinstallation without sucess.

This is what I have when I post a URL from youtube.com

PHP Code:

 [URL="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MjXU7I6aBpA&feature=player_embedded"][url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MjXU7I6aBpA&feature=player_embedded]YouTube - Grupo Niche Gotas De Lluvia[/url][/URL]

Thanks for help.

[Digital Jedi]

You have AME and passiveVid installed? You can't have them both installed, or you'll continue to get conflicts.

[Rafa-el]

Yes I have it, but now I can't use anyone cause the conflicts are there.

So how can I fix this issue?

Thanks for help

[Digital Jedi]

I'm not entirely sure what you should do now. You need to find a way to uninstall one or both of them completely. But you can't have both installed.

[Rafa-el]

Yes, I want only one installed (AME?) but I uninstall both and the result always is the same, when I try to use AME or passive Vid I have the problem posted here.

So do you know how can I fix it or how can I delete completely AME (I already delete it from the uninstall script)
