Add-On Releases - DJ's AME (Auto Media Embedding) XML Media Definitions (Third Time's the Charm)

NO LONGER SUPPORTED. RECOMMEND YOU UPGRADE TO AME 2.5 AND MY DELTA SET OF DEFINITIONS.

========================================

IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ
These XML Files must be imported through your AME CP. That requires The Geek's AME - The Automatic Media Embedding System to be installed on your forum. Then you can come back here and import these definitions.

========================================

VERSION INFO - PLEASE READ
While AME 2.0+ was redesigned for vBulletin 3.7.x, it should still function on versions 3.6.x. These media definitions will work with any version of AME.

AME 2.0 now works with Social Groups, Blogs, Profile Comments and Visitor Messages (if your running vB 3.7.x, obviously). However, AME 2.5 BETA also supports signatures and has a global resizing option for each of these regions. If you decide you want the resizing functionality, you will need the definitions from this thread instead: DJ's AME (Auto Media Embedding) XML Media Definitions for 2.5


WHAT THIS IS?
This thread is the third installment of a series of threads where we tried to collect media definitions for the AME modification by The Geek. The brilliance of The Geek's modification was that support for a given site could be added by people who knew a little about Regular Expressions, and then share the exported definitions with the community without The Geek having to update the modification each and every time.

Hotwheels, and then Dannyloski both worked hard to maintain threads where we collected these definitions so they could all be in one place and easily downloaded. But both met with some unfortunate circumstances where they could no longer maintain those first two threads. Then I came along with my inordinate lack of something to do, and put everything together with the hope that I could keep things going as well. Hence the little joke there in the title about "Third Time's the Charm".

So in addition to updating, I've kind of taken it upon myself to keep up with these definitions, collect, contribute and generally maintain this aspect of the modification. Hence the reason why I consider this the ultimate media embedding system for vBulletin, as we, as a community, have generated XML definitions for over 160 various kind of media outlets. I personally try to add at least 10 new sites every few months.


LIVE DEMO
This demo is running AME 2.0.2 on a live site. Periodically, this area will be closed for development.


MEDIA DEFINITIONS
New definitions are always in the works and any requests or XML contributions of your own are welcome.

This is the complete list of Media Definitions, alphabetized and sorted by category. Please read any notations I've made for a particular definition here, since I can't include them in the XMLs.

Local Hosted Videos
For videos uploaded to your site, you need these Media Definitions. These XML files need to be edited, either in the AME CP or in an HTML Editor. Look for YOUR_SITE_NAME_HERE and change it to the domain name of your site. Do not include .com, .net, .de, .co.uk or anything like that. So, for example, if your site is www.cogonline.net, then you'd change YOUR_SITE_NAME_HERE to cogonline. This DOES NOT embed attachments.

SITES NOT AVAILABLE (The "No-Fly List")
These are previously made or requested XML files that were working, but for varying circumstances, I can't make work at the moment. Things could change at a moment's notice, though, so be sure to subscribe to my updates.

CBS News (Nothing to refrence in URL or HTML code)
BBC (No embeddable code)
EuroNews (No embeddable code)
MiniClip (The good news is, from what I can tell, almost all MiniClip Games are available at EmbedGames.com, which I just made an XMLs for!)
NBA (The URL of the first page opened doesn't change after clicking on subsequent videos. There's not even a permalink to reference.)
TrTube (Doesn't work for me, but that may be a regional problem. Demo available for testing here.)

SUPPORT
I'm always happy to help to the best of my ability, but please don't just say your video isn't working without providing links to either the video or the post your having a problem with. I can't help unless I know what to look for. Also be sure to check the FAQs in the following two posts, as your question has likely been answered many times. Thanks.


DOWLOAD AND INSTALLATION
There are three files available, though you don't neccesarly need all three. Definitions are installed by importing them through your AME CP in your Admin CP. YOU DO NOT IMPORT THEM THROUGH YOUR PRODUCT MANAGER.

DJ's Master XML: This is the file you want if you're starting fresh and want the complete line of supported media sites. Remember that definitions do not overwrite, so you would need to delete your default definitions before importing this file.

DJ AMEs: [s]This ZIP file contains all the same sites as the Master XML, but as individual XML files, in case you want to pick and choose which sites you want support for.[/s] This option is no longer available for Third Time's the Charm.

DJ's Local Hosted AMEs: This ZIP file contains the definitions for locally hosted media, that is, media your hosting on your own server. As explained above, you need to make the appropriate edits upon import and it does not convert videos uploaded as attachments. (Also see the Read Me in the Local Hosted ZIP file)

?The 9 following images also need to be added to your images/misc directory.

??

Remember to Click Install so you can be informed via email when a new files is added or updated!! I've got more in the works! :up: :up: THANKS everyone!

[Digital Jedi]

Yes, this one is known. This is because MySpace changed their Embed Code from an iframe to actual embed code. This will be addressed in the next update.

You have to delete/disable your old definitions

I Have install the new AME an have right now Problems with the DJ's Master XML.xml to import.

How i can delete the old definitions, if i have install the new AME?

[boandmichele]

DJ! i have searched and searched for a solution before asking you, and im sure its something simple... but....

i have imported the amazon (links) definition, updated my tag appropriately, and none of the links are working. instead of pointing to amazon, it points back to my site with the amazon tag added on the end (which ends with me getting a database error). im using 2.5RC but have duplicated this in both 2 and 2.5. any advice?

to clarify, instead of giving me a link to amazon.com/asin/tag=xxxxx,

its giving me a link to ww.mysitegoeshere.com/forums/showthread.php?tag=xxxx

arg!

I understand what you mean now, and I don't think I recall seeing the embed code for thumbnails videos before. Yeah, it's parsing the URL of the video so the HTML for the thumbnails gets shattered. RegEx for BBCode is tricky, but not impossible I don't think. I'd just have to give it a try.

I'm talking about a conversion specifically for the PB offered IMG Code - Forums & Bulletin Boards for videos.

When I tested the photobucket (videos) definition with:

[url=http://s73.photobucket.com/albums/i237/Whitey818/motorcycle%20related%20stuff/?action=view&current=100_2877.flv][img]https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2008/12/103.jpg[/img][/url]


Here's the HTML rendered by the Photobucket (Videos) definition:

<A title="<img src=" 
href="http://s73.photobucket.com/albums/i237/Whitey818/motorcycle%20related%20stuff/?action=view&amp;current=100_3043.flv"

src="http://i73.photobucket.com/albums/i237/Whitey818/motorcycle%20related%20stuff/th_100_3043.jpg" 
border=0></A> </TD></TR></THEAD>

width=430 height=389 type=application/x-shockwave-flash 
wmode="transparent"></EMBED>

As you can see, I ended up with a broken layout. The page was rendering the default photobucket image that is shown for videos, followed by the video player rendered by your product.

I was assuming your Photobucket (Videos) definition was written just to do replacements on the url portion only, and wasn't designed to account for the embed code PB provides as shown above. (at least that's what the regex looked like)

I got the idea of adding support for the PB embed code from use of this mod:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...ht=photobucket

It adds a photobucket image/video search and upload when making posts using:
http://photobucket.com/landing/plugin_wizard.php

And, if you search photobucket using that mod for a video, the only URL photo bucket gives you for the video via the IFRAME used by that mod, is the IMG code I listed above.

Anyway, I personally love that PB image search/upload since it gives an easy way for users to post videos to the site without having to allow users to upload attachments.

I had to shut off your Photobucket (Videos) definition since it broke the page whenever someone would use the PB code provided by the IFRAME uploader.

Hopefully, I'm explaining myself better this time.

Thanks again for a killer product.

[Digital Jedi]

Thanks Junkie. I will try to take a look at this for the next udpate.

Tick the Delete checkbox at the top of the Display Definitions page, then save.

For those having the linking problem with Amazon (Thumbnails), I have a temporary fix for you until the variable problem in AME can be pinpointed. It will not convert titles properly and will just read Amazon (Thumbnails) or whatever you've named it in the AME CP, but it will properly convert your URLs.

NOTE: If you need to add your own affiliate ID tag you must go in and change each instance of ?tag=citofgamonlco-20 to your own affiliate ID. There are three. If not, you won't hurt my feelings leaving it in.

Oh, remember to delete your old one.

hi,

I´m trying to build replacement code for ebay.de affiliate links, and I got stuck finding the right regex

I need to extract the sellers name from an URL, which usually looks like this:
http://shop.ebay.de/merchant/user_name

works perfectly fine with:
http://shop\.ebay\.de/merchant/([\.\w_-]+)
then I can use the sellers name as $p1

however, sometimes ebay puts thos "W0QQ" variables behind it, then it would look something like this:
http://shop.ebay.de/merchant/user_name_W0QQ_nkwZQQ_armrsZ1QQ_fromZQQ_mdoZ
I need "_W0QQ" and everything after that to be excluded from $p1

first I tried to create a break at the first instance of an underscore, but then I realized usernames can contain underscores as well.

thanks in advance!

It's tricky when you run into an area you need grouped that can easily match the rest of the string. One thing you can do is check to see if the underscore in your grouping is absolutely necessary. If not, then you can easily put an optional word character match after your grouping: [\w_]*

If it is necessary, then try looking for the user name someplace else besides the URL string. Likely, it will be somewhere in the HTML of the page and you can make a ReGex match to that. In this case your grouping, the $p1 reference, will be in the Extraction regex instead.

good idea, thanks!
the username occurrs once between h1-tags on the target page, so this should do the trick:
<h1>([\.\w_-]+)</h1>

only Problem is, AME stops fetching the page content at the first occurrence of german vowel "?", which unfortunately appears right in the title.
please compare
http://shop.ebay.com/merchant/25cent-giraffes
http://shop.ebay.de/merchant/25cent-giraffes
the word "seller" in the page title becomes "Verk?ufer", and AME stops at "Verk", which in vbulletin results in this:

[ame="http://shop.ebay.de/merchant/25cent-giraffes"]eBay Verk

it?s definately the vowel because it works perfectly with ebay.com, but that?s no good to me because they?re running an entirely different affiliate program.

[Digital Jedi]

Is it truncating the HTML output or just the title? Shouldn't you still be getting a valid URL?

[wmlvb]

Hi, I only have the latest version of AME installed and have not installed this add on. I am not sure if I am suppose to install the 12/08 update file or am to install the files in the 1st post and then the update file?
