NEWS
DJ's AME 2.5.7 is out! What are you waitin' fer?!


[hr]#CCCCCC[/hr]
IMPORT
DEFINITIONS ARE NOT INSTALLED They're imported through your AME CP. Which means you have to have AME installed first. You DO NOT import definitions through your Product Manager. I mean, you can try. But I'll make fun of you.

The READ ME file explains in more detail. Please don't skip it. I named it in big letters and everything.


[hr]#CCCCCC[/hr]
VERSION INFO
These definitions are for AME 2.5.

A BETA set of definitions for AME 3 can be found here.


[hr]#CCCCCC[/hr]
LIVE DEMO
This is my development area with a lot of test thread. As such, it's not a comprehensive list of all working definitions. You can find that below...


[hr]#CCCCCC[/hr]
MEDIA DEFINITIONS LIST
The full list of definitions is available in the second post of this thread. Requests for new definitions should be made here (no registration required), rather than in this thread. It makes it easier for me to keep track and to prioritize. Please do not use this area to contact me.

SUPPORT
I can't stress this enough. I NEED LINKS in order to troubleshoot problems. Links to the video. Links to the thread. I can't do anything without knowing what videos are causing the problem. If all you do is post that a particular site is not working and provide me with nothing to look at, well, how can I fix it? Following this simple guideline will save us both a lot of time and effort. (And check the FAQ on the first page. I worked really hard on that one. :erm: )

Please note that I do new definition requests in the order they were received and as timely as I can.

BBC International appears to be have changed the format of their video pages. No longer using .shtml extensions. Example:

I found the problem. The replacement definition is missing </object> at the very end.

Any chance you could work out the definition to embed the Daily Ticker from Yahoo! Finance? The Yahoo video definition doesn't capture it. Example:

I can look into those. Just might be a few, since my site is giving me fits at the moment. I'll see if I can't push out a fix for CNBC. I didn't notice any HTML problems in my initial test thread. I kid CNBC.

Any news? I sill can get it working under vbulletin 3.8.7 (live site) also tested it on localhost with wampserver, PHP 5.4.3 (fresh install) and still doesn't retrieve any data.

I've tested it with youtube and vimeo links. Any help/suggestions?

Can you get brightcove based videos to work? A lot of news organizations use it. Hulu uses it as well. See the link below. I think the difference between HULU and the news organizations is that HULU uses a DNS cname to make it appear that the video is hosted on their site when it is really hosted by Brightcove. Adding brightcove support would make this work with tens of thousands of news websites.

It's not exactly how AME works.

AME works by detecting a URL, such as the one you posted, and transforming the link to the Replacement HTML in its respective definition. If the website is YouTube, for example, I have to create a definition that will allow AME to match YouTube URLs, and then AME will replace them with whatever the HTML in the definition is.

So take a website like PC Planets, who had content hosted on YouTube. It didn't matter that I had created YouTube definition. AME needed to detect PC Planets URLs. So a separate definition had to be created to match their YouTube content. (And their URLs had to be unique enough so as not to try and parse their MetaCafe hosted videos, as YouTube videos.)

The source of the video is not what matters. Anything can go in the Replacement HTML box. It's irrelevant to the RegEx pattern, which needs to match a URL before it can do anything. I have quite a few definitions already for websites that use Brightcove. But that's just source code, and not what AME looks at when trying to match a pattern. This is the reason why you can't make a definition for something like vbTube. Definitions are for specific sites. Not specific video services.

Can I ask why there is no where any solution written for the Upgrade?

I cant uninstall it or even install the new....... When deleting I get the message the "I saved the display order for you....."! And when I try to install it tells me that it will crash into the others, and after all I tried to do that, but nothing happend...

Thanks for the answer... Makes sense. Now that I understand i'm not going to ask for a detection built for just that one site. It would have been nice to knock out a few birds with one stone.

I wish I understood how the regex worked. I would be able to contribute to your list of sites that it does work with. Great plugin. Awesome, actually.

I would like add rel="nofollow" to the embed media.
Any suggestions how to insert this code at the AMECP ... Display definistion ....???


For example:

Youtube:
Regular expression
[CODE[http://]*[a-z]*?[\.]?youtube\.[a-z]*?/watch\?v=([A-Z0-9._%-]*)[&\w;=\+_\-]*][/CODE]

Replacement:

<object width="$ameinfo[width]" height="$ameinfo[height]">
<param name=''movie'' value="http://www.youtube.com/v/$p1&ap=%2526fmt%3D18&fs=1"></param>
<param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param>
<embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/$p1&ap=%2526fmt%3D18&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="$ameinfo[width]" height="$ameinfo[height]" wmode="transparent"></embed></object>

Where I must put the rel="nofollow" to have a good SEO practice?

Thanks!!!
