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.

Yeah, it's bizarre. Its working fine again now. Can't work out whether it's FF playing up or YouTube.

Still, as long as it's working I don't really care.

DS's AME (Auto Media Embedding) Adult XML Media Definitions

can we use some definations xml for this hack? Like I would like to use for flickr.

possible? cuz i know the def xml is out for 3.8 but is it out for vb4?

[Videx]

I doubt there will ever be definitions for this version as it never did anything but wrap [video] tags. What's needed is a different mod that would actually allow users to define new definitions and add them to vb4. That may not be possible because the necessary hooks are missing.

I tried the fix to the functions_video.php file (I think thats what it was) and I have it working in 4.0.7, the only thing is after I submit a new post the screen goes blank with some weird symbols in the upper left corner. The post actually posts fine and everything, but it just looks bad when someone posts because they get the blank white page. Anyone know a fix for this?

Yes by removing the product and overwriting the video.php file again with a fresh one from the members download section.

The Geek mentioned sometime back that he wasnt happy that vBulletin rewrote the video.php file, which stopped his mod working and wasnt going to chase them by changing it every time Vb decided to change it themselves.

This is why this thread is not supported by the designer anymore!

For all of you awaiting a reply... This is the reason why the designer of this mod has it marked as un-supported.

If you read through the thread this is the temp fix, that will make it work , but display a blank page , strange digits top left and page redirect before post.

Hi thank you for your response.

Could you please clarify what you mean?

I am running 4.0.7. So should I uninstall AME and then re-install it again? Thank you.

I removed this mod a while back, but all you need to do is the edit on the video.php file.

If after that it doesn't work then you need to re-write the same file from your members area.
