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.

The missing phrase is a known issue and only cosmetic so I have't bothered to update the package as it doesn't affect anything.

As to the other ame2.5x settings, the options really wouldn't work with vB4.

@Chicken - if you want someone to write a custom definition for you, you are best posting the request with a few different URLs and their embed code as examples to work from.

Sorry for my lack of knowledge but I have tried to understand the tutorial but my eyes are burning and clearly it went over my head.
I hope I have pasted the correct details required as examples?

I don't know what your talking about.

Stop looking at me.

Hey, did you by chance see my last post? I think it got lost in all the concussion.

Are there going to be ones for WorldstarHipHop, MTV, OnSmash?

[insidedesign]

If I want to change the video embed display size of all new and existing video embeds, what would be the process of doing this?

I have already updated the display code. What do I do next to fix the videos already in place throughout the forum?

[The Geek]

Edit the definitions you want to change (the embed code). This will change all instances of that definition except for those posts that vB has in its cache (if you have it on). Turn it off and/or rebuild the last weeks worth of posts or what not.

Thanks

@et. all: Should get to any other outstanding issues today.

so no content box and resize for the vB4?

[The Geek]

@Kurt: Nope. There isn't the ability to override vB4's way of displaying the output. You could technically add container code around the output of the bbcode_video template, but it will get overwritten when vB or AME rebuilds the template. Furthermore vB only puls 1 parameter from offsite so you wouldn't be able to pull the title in like AME2.x
Sizes are also limited as vB hard codes these into the embed code, but gets around some of these limitations via CSS. So technically you can override the size via teh CSS technique (this is how AME'fy does it).

@Chicken: This is why I avoid getting into custom definitions. It over takes your life and these aren't always quick and easy to do. Saying that I did one for you but noticed an AME bug in the process that I will need to fix before I release it.
