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.

No ideas, what's up with SQL. Not shure, that this error was caused by my patches. Will check later.

Hi,

I have been trying to test some of my definitions, but I have some for imageshack and tinypic in 2.5 which do not work in 3. I didn't get the option for automatic conversion ...

This is the definition in 2.5:

Regular expression:

([http://]*[a-z0-9]*?[\.]?imageshack\.[a-z]*?/[a-z0-9]*/[a-z0-9]*/[a-z0-9]*)([\.]?[a-z0-9]*)

Replacement:

<div class="highslide-gallery">
	<a id="$ameinfo[id_tag]" href="$p1$p2" class="highslide" onclick="return hs.expand(this)">
		<img src="$p1.th$p2" alt="Highslide JS"
			title="Klik om te vergroten." />
	</a>
</div>

Contain: no
Extract destination data: no

Could you please help me?

Hi,

how must the code look like when I want to insert Videos from www.Trabzonum.TV with a link like:

http://www.trabzonum.tv/musicvideo.php?vid=764583d8b

or

http://www.trabzonum.tv/trabzonspor-...764583d8b.html

I have this code, but with this code the videos are shown with another player.

- <regex_url>
- <![CDATA[ http://www\.trabzonum\.tv/(?:[\w\.\-\/]*)(?:\?vid\=|video_)([\w]*)(?:\.html)?
  ]]> 
  </regex_url>
  <regex_scrape /> 
- <embed>
- <![CDATA[ 
<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="344" data="http://www.trabzonum.tv/fpembed-{vb:raw code}.swf">
	<param name="movie" value="http://www.trabzonum.tv/fpembed-{vb:raw code}.swf" />
	<param name="wmode" value="transparent" />
</object>

  ]]> 
  </embed>

BR,
Tiryaki

I turned off File Cache and rebuilt posts.. still getting this error:

Warning: fetch_template() calls should be replaced by the vB_Template class. Template name: video_bbcode in [path]/includes/functions.php on line 3984

PHP version 5.29

Sadly, I think this hack is now superfluous. I was hoping this hack would return to its former glory with the ability to add a bunch of custom media embeds but it just breaks embedding of video and doesn't support any more embedding that is built into vB4 already.

Uninstalled and going to native vB4 support for embedding of video.

Your in the clear Vitaly - it was caused by the original thread for CMS comments mod.

However AME seems to be causing some double posting using quick reply. Any chance you could look into that?

Well, it doesn't support it because no one, including me, have made any additional definitions for it. It was never designed to handle more then a few sites by default. Maybe that's partly my fault. Maybe I got folks to used to making the definitions for them, that no one else bothered to make them on their own any more. But as it stands, I'm making more. I'm just not finished.

works on vb4.0.4 pl1

I've tried a few times to get this rolling on 4.0.3 (making the manual edit) and then 4.0.4... neither worked.
