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.

Support sucks for this product

Didn't see your post, but thanks for being such a tool about it. Glad you uninstalled it. Next time note the mods that are marked as unsupported.

*edit*

Actually, this really pisses me off now as I did answer you here-> https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....&postcount=703

You ask your question today at 6am and again at 9am and I answered at 11am. Between 6am and 11am I must have forgot I was your beatch at your beckoned call. I feel for any other coder posting free modifications for you to berate.

Any idea why? The only fix is to convert their URL tags to AME using the tool.
Also, it appears that this might occur only after I've ran maintenance on the board.

Please help!

Only thing I can think of is if you are dealing with definitions that were changed or are no longer valid.

I think you're over complicating it. From what I can tell, you don't need to extract any of dailymotions page information for the embedding to occur. From the examples you posted and the couple of pages I noticed, the URL contains sufficient information to make it work. Give me a minute to whip up an example and I will post it in DJ's thread.

If its a fresh install of AME using default definitions and it isn't working, then it will be a conflict. The most common is a mod that changes URLs. If you are using vbSEO, make sure it isn't set to track outbound links.

now check below links and it's seeing...

yes i fresh reinstall it and i check it with default definitions but isn't working with my forum.
secondly i don't know how to change the URLs by any mods but my vbseo all track outbound links are disabled already. there is no at this time any outbound links are runing from my forum by vbseo.

but i note, when i disable the Extract destination data of AME after that AME youtube videos are working start but when i enable it the videos are show only links....why it give us problem with Extract destination data of AME ??

I can't see your links because you have a mod that disables links for guests (as I stated in the last post).

How to make this plugin work to parse video links on rss poster?

I apologize if this is a silly question... I've searched this thread (but perhaps not good enough!) for the answer:

I can't seem to find the correct path to import for the product-ame.xml into my Product Manager.

Could somebody please help? Thanks so much!

Edit: In fact, the only files that I see in the includes/xml folder that came in the zip package are:



Edit 2: Duh...nevermind! I found it. (I feel like a fool!)

please any body help or any idea about that.

Those links don't work so I tried earlier ones you posted. 1st one gave me a server error and second one I can see.

With a default AME install on default vB, the largest flag one works for me OR your server does not allow for extraction (via cCurl or file_get_contents). Since the URL isn't resolving, I would guess the latter. Turn off the Extract Destination setting in your AME settings page.
