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.

I just upgraded to latest 4.0.6 from 3.8.x

And I installed the AME product.

Now my old threads where AME was used is showing:

[ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E19D_-h9MIo[/ame]

anyway to convert those old ame tags so it shows the YouTube video.

OK I converted the old tags from tools, but when I paste youtube link it doesnt make it embed?

what am I doing wrong. I imported the product xml and everything.

Weird!

Did you apply the fix given over here?

[Selene]

I did just few sec ago, now the new youtube links that I paste do work.

But thing is I have so many posts with the old [ame] tag that were used in vb3, now im on vb4.

I did rebuild my posts from tools using this option:

[AME] UpgradeThis process will convert all [AME] codes into [URL]s and then attempt to convert those to [VIDEO] codes. This is used to when upgrading from pre AME 3.x

But the tags in those old posts still showing as AME

How far back did you go? You will need to set it back quite a while (or even all time) to get all your posts. Make sure to have a backup before you do so.

Also set Verbose mode to on, and see if your posts are being queried by the converter.

I think you need to use fix (obviously not just for 4.0.3) before you rebuild, but I'm not sure.

Is anyone else having trouble with this plugin and Firefox?

For some reason I can no longer see the videos using Firefox, but it's fine with Safari.

AME has nothing to do with this, as all it does is wrap [video] tags around a url. I too have big trouble seeing videos in FF 369, often requiring several page refreshes.
