DJ's AMEs :: Media Definitions for AME 2.5

These XML Files must be imported through your AME CP. That requires DJ's AME :: The Ultimate Automatic Media Embedder to be installed on your forum. So go get it. Get it now!

credits

These definitions were seeded by contributions from the vBulletin.org community over the course of several years. I've added (quite a few) of my own over time, and I gladly accept new ones if you've got 'em. Feel free to post your contributions in the thread, either as attachments or in [CODE] tags. I double check and test all definitions before adding them to the repository so they're not only consistent, but sort properly in your AME CP.

Definitions for adult websites are maintained by Digital Sith and can be found in his thread.

import

I see a number of posts on vB.org, and across the web, asking why you get errors when you try to install these through the Product Manager (even while quoting the text above that says you're not supposed to do that.) So to make this as clear as I can:

1. First, you have to have DJ's AME 2.5.7 installed. Once that's done, you may proceed to step 2.
2. Download and Unzip the ZIP folder(s).
3. Some definitions for some websites require a supporting image to be uploaded to your forum. Upload the contents of "UPLOAD to Forum Root" to your forum's root directory.
4. Go to your Admin CP »» AME CP »» Import Definitions and choose one of the XML files you just unzipped. Import it!
5. Review and deselect any definitions you don't want, and click Import to finalize the import process.
6. Look over your definitions to make sure the ones you wanted successfully imported.

New Functionality :: "Extra Code"

In AME 2.5.7, the Extra Code feature extends AME support to websites that it previously couldn't embed media from. See the Extra Code.html file to find out which definitions require this Advanced Options feature.

Local Hosted Definitions

The file DJs-AMEs-media-definitions-LOCAL.xml are definitions that allow you to embed media located on your own server. Previously these had to be edited to include your site name. The current set shouldn't require any edits. The definitions currently support a wide range of file formats, including HTML 5 media and assorted forms of documents. NOTE: These do not embed attachments.

Included in the XML are a series of definitions that will embed documents using a Google Drive embedder. Sometimes these will fail to load if the document is especially large. Currently looking for a better solution.

The definition HTML/Markup is a special definition that will embed file types like .html, .css, .js and .c or .h files. This is turned off by default, as it would embed any link pointing to a CSS or HTML file. Use with caution and only if you need it. The regex can easily be edited to exclude extensions you don't need to embed (just be sure not to leave a pipe "|" at the end), or to include additional extensions like .php. For example:

Note that adding PHP file support does work, but would embed any posted link in your forum that ended in .php. That's ALL OF THEM! So use with caution, or edit the regex to exclude your website, the same way it excludes Google:

So YOURSITENAME would be the part of www.yoursitename.com that's appropriate. No .com. DON'T LEAVE OUT THE PIPE! "|"

Legacy Definitions

If you're wondering what the file DJs-AMEs-media-definitions-LEGACY.xml is, these are older definitions that still work for older website URL strings. Websites change their URLs and embed code frequently, which is why definitions have to be updated all the time. This usually makes the old definition defunct. But in some cases, older definitions are still practical. This can be for a number of reasons. Maybe a given website's older URLs are still circulating the web, and can still be converted to embedding. Maybe older posts, with older embeds, need the older definition so they'll still appear properly. Maybe something else. In any event, these definitions are here should you need them. It's unlikely you'd need them if you're just starting out.

Downloads Badges psd

The Downloads Badges for Customizing.psd file is the Photoshop template I created to make the downloads badges for file sharing websites, such as the one below. I made it available here in case you want to customize them or make your own. If you don't have Photoshop, you can always try freeware such as GIMPshop

Support

There are a number of troubleshooting tips, common problems and resources available in the first few posts of each AME thread. Consult these to see if your problem has already been addressed, and for individual notes about definitions with special conditions.

Definitions List

The following is a list of supported websites categorized by the type of definitions that support them. A couple of things to take note of are 1) some websites have more than one definition, either out of necessity, or to extend website functionality. Those kind of definitions are clearly labelled. 2) Some definitions will be turned off when you import them. This is because, in some cases, a website might have two kinds of media (e.g. audio and video), and there was no reasonable way to make definitions to support both at the same time. So I include both, with one turned off, so you can toggle the two definitions at your own discretion. Definitions like this will usually appear close to each other in the AME CP, unless you've changed their display order.

Troubleshooting

As always, remember to ask AME product questions in the AME product thread, and definition questions in the AME definitions thread. This way info about the two doesn't become muddled.

Seriously. I'm really, REALLY hungry.
