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.

Did you install some other mod recently that may be interfering? Can you embed Youtube manually with video tags?

I haven't installed anything. I setup the youtube HD BBcode this morning to try and that worked perfectly fine.

I am a Firefox user as well 3.5.9 current browser.

I just tried IE8 and it does the same thing.

Doesn't seem to have changed on my end. AME 2.5 users had to turn off validation to deal with the new changes, but AME 3 doesn't use validation.

Well, if it stopped working after you did this then undo it. Or at least check it for errors.

Interesting.

I did notice one thing with IE. When I drop the URL, it automatically turns into a link and I haven't even submitted it yet.

It doesn't do that with Firefox.

No, I meant. I added the new BBcode this morning when I realized the links weren't automatically embedding this morning.

If you aren't familiar with SQL Queries, and nobody gives you a couple good ones, just do the 'idiot method' - a text search and replace on a db backup.

PS I'm not calling you an idiot, that's what I call this roundabout method.

Can any one tell me if they have this mod working with Version: 4.0.2 Patch Level 4?

I had it working on 4.0.1 but cannot get it to go on latest version.
Correction the standard codes on VB work but not any new ones I add.

My newly added YouTube links are now just showing as a link also, since the change.

Any one else with problems using latest patch?
