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.

Where can I edit that in one of the files to get rid of it?
Thanks!

Also, seems like it doesn't work with 64 bit Internet Explorer 8 either. Videos don't show up.
Works fine in 32 bit IE8 though.

Videos not showing up in 64-bit IE8 is normal. There is no 64-bit version of Flash yet, so no way for IE8 to play those videos. Adobe may eventually get around to putting out a 64-bit version.

I think you are incorrect. My IE8 64bit runs the Flash test fine, and shows Youtube videos fine (on Youtube). But I can verify that I don't see the videos embedded in my forum. However, I don't think it's an AME problem as I've had AME disabled for a while now.

@ guys above: You need to apply the fix given here to get this mod working.

I apply the fix, but get.

"vBulletin Message
Unable to add cookies, header already sent."

If I choose refresh it does show the thread posted, but if I reply it double posts.
Running 4.0.5

I've applied the 4.0.3 fix (I'm on 4.0.6 CMS) but I'm getting a popup warning of a Database Error.

Has anyone come across the solution to this problem?

Is there any way to embed youtube videos using html5 and not flash? Flash not only sucks, but its not friendly to most (if not all) mobile devices. As we know, tablets and mobile use is on the rise.

I've seen pages showing how you can embed both in one (for those that can't see html5)

I'd like to be Flash free with all my web sites within the month.

THanks.

Nice, but how do I change AME3 to handle this?

Would be nice for the code to allow both.

Thanks!

Can someone give me some help on this please? I want to get rid of that "/" being auto added. Thanks in advance!

Since this mod isn't working right now, the obvious solution is to uninstall it.

Does anyone know from experience if this great mod (I've used AME3 before) would have any conflicts with the 8wayrun.com Media Library mod?
