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.

Peeps, also make sure that your post options to convert URLs and also to convert videos is on.

You are talking about the two check boxes in the posting area? If so they are checked by default. In my case the mod is working but just for a few of the services...any ideas?

[The Geek]

You need to post URLs that aren't working. IIRC there was also a bug in vB4 where the automatically convert URLs wasn't always ticked.

Here is one that will not convert:

The problem is that vB4 won't parse that. I am assuming it is in a different format than vB4 expects.

If it won't work via the video popup box, it won't work with AME3. A custom definition or altered one will have to be made.

It's the pound symbol added to the HD links. I doubt the default definition accounted for that, as I never even noticed it when I did the custom one for 2.5. And I spent quite a while on Vimeo checking for alternate URLs.

Just upgraded the forum to 4.0.1, and upgraded AME as well to the lastest version, seems good so far.

Did not have auto-convert-videos ticked. I ticked it - still no go.

I then removed the link (and it's associated [video] encoding) and reposted it and saved it with the auto-convert-video ticked. It redid the code part:

[video=youtube;NvlbAItBdK4]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NvlbAItBdK4[/video]

But as you can see still displays it as a link rather than an embed.
