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.

It works anywhere post BB Code does. But if your character code is set to cut off at a certain number of characters, it will truncate the embed code, too.

Just an update ..
I went back to the original vb code and updated
bbcode_vb XML and the bbcode video template with the same regex...
The local wmv now work fine when using video bbcode tag..
So i re-activated your hack, once again now both work
With inserting video bbcode or without it, since your hack is wrapping the video bbcode successfuly and doing its job.

However am just curious, why wouldnt it work since its already loading as a hook before the post unless i manually added the html code to the bbcode template !

Anyone have luck with a working playlist.com "playlist" definition for this mod yet?

after many many tries am still failing...
I tried disabling the hack and modifying bbcode xml file and adding our self as source and modify bbcode video template, still no luck
i retried using your hack with this

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>

<AME3>

		<tagoption>ms</tagoption>

     <param name="autostart" value="false">
     <embed type="application/x-mplayer2" src="{vb:raw code}" name="MediaPlayer" width="675" height="423" autoplay="false"></embed>
</object>]]></embed>
		<priority>0</priority>
	</def>
</AME3>

It does parse and changes the code but still no display of embed !
either a so simple mistake or donno ! hope you can help

The post shows nothing on display
however on edit :


video=ms;http://www.MYDOMAIN.ms/movies/lebmov...madina-low.wmv[/video]

so basically its being parsed after preg matches ... any advice on where i went wrong ?
regards

Thanks, this Code works. !!

There isn't an amazon definition that comes with this mod. Check with wherever you got the definition from.

I worked hard at playlist for the AMEfy addon and cannot make it work with vB's video system.

I think all the other questions are related to custom definitions, which sadly I don't have time to do so will leave to the community

This isn't exactly true

All vB addons always store the product-xml in the includes/xml folder. I just started following suit. But if you were upgrading, then you already had the readme and already imported the product once so you knew where it was. That is, unless you were upgrading from 2.5x. In that case the readme contains important information that you should read about upgrading in the first place. Either way, you didn't read the readme and want to complain about it.

Sheesh

He's referring to that test Master XML I posted here a while back. A couple of folks reported that bug. I've got vB 4 installed on my demo board, so I hope to have better working definitions for this version here in a few weeks.

gotcha. Thanks DJ

Not exactly sure how to make it work, I'm on 4.0.1, and just added all of the files, is that it?
