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.

Also make sure the server didn't hiccup and move/delete one of your AME files.

Must have been a mishap somewhere... it seems to be working fine now.

Thanks.... Reinstalled!

So no one has yet to bother with an AME 3.x definitions file?

It sucks how poorly supported VBulletin 4.0 mods are!! Not anyone's fault.. it just kind of sucks.

I wish I had gone with VBuleltin 3.x for my latest forum.. it's a year old and I'm still twiddling my thumbs hoping for modifications that I've had on my 3.x forums for years.

I did one set that didn't go over real well. Had some errors importing. Another thing is they kind of nerfed AME 3 with the changes in more recent versions of 4.0. One of them being that we can't seem to create new definitions at all.

I have it working on a fresh vb 4.1.1. everything going smooth so far. But that is very discouraging to say the least man It's great now don't get me wrong but with only a limited amount of resources this mod can not even start to get close to it's true potential.

I'm going to take over development of AME 2.5 for the time being. Once I wrap my head around the code, I'll try and tackle AME 3, too. That is, unless someone beats me to it.

one of the best mods for vbulletin available...!
unfortunately its not working anymore for me with version 4.1.1
(before without any problems).

i can still see old ame tagged videos, they are all embedded, but the new ones are just links. Anyone else problems with 4.1.1?

Yes, in fact I upgraded to 4.1.1 last week I believe and didn't notice till today that AME3 stopped working.

hm, i hope there is any bugfix coming for this. really appreciate this mod!

I don't think it's a bugfix. We need a whole new interpreter that can be modified and updated easily. A user setting for "Disable automatic video parsing" would be nice.
