From the makers of the letters O and Yea comes the hottest 'must have mod' of the season: AME 2.5 - The Return of The Hot Mama.
Thanks everyone for making AME 2.5 Mod of the Month
AME is the multi award winning modification that smartly scans new and edited posts for URLs from a customisable variety of web sites (i.e. YouTube or Amazon or about 200 others). If it finds a match, AME will 'transform' the URL into inline embedded media without your users ever having to even think about it.
It was important for me to create a system that did not need updating (and subsequent reinstalling) every time one of the sites it supported decided to change the way it displayed its media (which is all the fricken time). Therefore I built a system in which the 'definitions' for each site could be imported, exported, tweaked and shared on a whim. This way, you only have to import the definitions that you want. It also allows the vB community to get creative and share definitions that I wouldn't of thought of!
Which sites are supported?
Included in the default installation is YouTube and Amazon. At time of posting this, I believe that there are over 180 sites supported that have been created by the vBulletin community. These range from sites that stream videos to Amazon referral links to locally hosted music and video files.
Check out the 'add ons' section of this post below to see availible add-ons.
Though not tested on any version of vBulletin lower than 3.7.4, in theory it should work on versions 3.5 and higher (just dont quote this bit!).
Big thanks goes out to all those in the community that have supported this mod. Especially Digital Jedi who gives great support on this mod and has created over 160 definitions for this system alone!
Installation/Upgrade
Upload the contents of the forums folder into your forums directory and import the product-ame.xml file into your product manager (if upgrading, choose 'yes' to overwrite previous installation).
After installation, make sure that the system is on (admincp->AME CP->Settings)
Then you may want to try to rebuild old URLs via the tools option.

22/1/09 - v. 2.5.2. Adresses a couple minor issues and character sets
Got it loaded but can't get it to work. What am I missing? I'm not a coder either. Is it the definitions? Do I still need to load them from DJ's thread?
There is also an empty file named index.html that caused a major problem for me. It conflicted with the index.php file and was sending the site to a blank page. Easy to fix, once the problem was found, but did result in "I can't get on the site" e-mails. Oh yeah, still not working either.
No this will not work in vB4, however someone posted that the 1.2 version works in vB4. Saying that, I would 'hold on' as I am just evaluating how to port this to vB4. It isn't straight forward as vB4 has a video bbcode system that I will be trying to hook into. I suspect it shouldn't be too hard to do and could have a solution as early as this week.

Sounds like you uploaded the mod to the wrong file location. The only blank index is in the amecahce folder which shouldnt stop anything on the site.
