Major Additions - AME 2.5 - Media Embedding for posts, sigs, vm's, groups and blogs

From the makers of the letters O and Yea comes the hottest 'must have mod' of the season: AME 2.5 - The Return of The Hot Mama.

Thanks everyone for making AME 2.5 Mod of the Month

AME is the multi award winning modification that smartly scans new and edited posts for URLs from a customisable variety of web sites (i.e. YouTube or Amazon or about 200 others). If it finds a match, AME will 'transform' the URL into inline embedded media without your users ever having to even think about it.

It was important for me to create a system that did not need updating (and subsequent reinstalling) every time one of the sites it supported decided to change the way it displayed its media (which is all the fricken time). Therefore I built a system in which the 'definitions' for each site could be imported, exported, tweaked and shared on a whim. This way, you only have to import the definitions that you want. It also allows the vB community to get creative and share definitions that I wouldn't of thought of!

Which sites are supported?

Included in the default installation is YouTube and Amazon. At time of posting this, I believe that there are over 180 sites supported that have been created by the vBulletin community. These range from sites that stream videos to Amazon referral links to locally hosted music and video files.

Check out the 'add ons' section of this post below to see availible add-ons.

For a total list of features and an FAQ, see click here.
For a post on troubleshooting, click here.

Though not tested on any version of vBulletin lower than 3.7.4, in theory it should work on versions 3.5 and higher (just dont quote this bit!).

Big thanks goes out to all those in the community that have supported this mod. Especially Digital Jedi who gives great support on this mod and has created over 160 definitions for this system alone!


Installation/Upgrade

• Upload the contents of the forums folder into your forums directory and import the product-ame.xml file into your product manager (if upgrading, choose 'yes' to overwrite previous installation).
• After installation, make sure that the system is on (admincp->AME CP->Settings)
• Then you may want to try to rebuild old URLs via the tools option.

A single DB error is a bad sign. Can't honestly believe you had a ton of them, but my suggestion would be to uninstall it if you did.

please help......

I got a trojan warning from my virus scanner with the full page ads that appear going to your site.

I then tested the you tube link which works perfect with a default installation of vb3.8.3 and AME 2.5.5. I didn't test the meta cafe as that is a custom definition so you will need to speak to the author.

If its an old post, try editing and saving it again. If it isnt a default definiton, you may want to reinstall.

HTHs!

Upgraded and notivced when I posted a link to YouTube it posted the video twice. Looked at the code via edit and it shows 1 link for the video but yet it appears twice.

Also under tools > ReBuild POsts > Set for 1 week

Actualy tried to rebuild the entire site (over 1200 pages) instead of the last weeks posts/threads.

Unless I am misunderstanding how this is supposed to work?

As per the troubleshooting thread: You have multiple versions of the same definition.

Hmm. I can confirm that. Will look into it.

disabled for now, same DB error, over and over and over, not sure where the conflict is, DB errors went away when I disabled it, kind of sad, hack has some nice features, I am using Yahoo for my web server host, not sure if this makes a difference at all.

Mod is also not working for me. Mine is a fresh install of vbulletin version 3.8.3 and i have triple checked to ensure all files are in place and that I have the settings as they should be... links are simply links (youtube videos, embedding allowed) whether new posts or old ones edited. The videos are simply not appearing. Just a heads-up that it's not an isolated incident... great looking mod though, so I'll try to be patient

Ok i set this up..I have .flv files and some .swf files on My server.

Now what i would like to do is add my videos on the site. so how do i go about doing this?
I thought all you do is add the url in the table and poof the video will show up. When i do
this all i get is a link.

Can someone help me set this up please..

thanks
