hello all
There seemed a need so I searched out a modification to the site that automatically searches for specific URL's and turns them into embedded media.
Meaning: You can simply copy the URL for the video (where every you have it) and the site will automatically turn it into a media window and player.
I know many sites have a link you can copy to embed them but it sometimes doesn't work and this also keeps the window consistent with the site.
So I paste a simple YouTube link like this
YouTube - Teasing Jimmy
It turns it into what you see, that window used to be the simple URL link
Here is how the coder describes it.
AME scans new and edited posts for pre-defined patterns of URLs (i.e. youtube's). If it finds a match, it swaps the url tag for an ame tag.
When a post get parsed for bbcode and an ame tag is found, instead of hammering away at the post with umpteen bbcodes, AME quietly figures out which pre-defined embedding should be placed there and... viola', you have a pretty little embedded video
It is also upgradeable because there are so many video hosting options up there, here is a list of what is supported or can be
AME comes configured with YouTube, Myspacetv, Google Video, Bolt, iFilm, Yahoo, Dailymotion, Amazon and MetaCafe Support built in. Since the amount of providers are always changing and most sites will only need a particular amount, AME has been designed with an import and export system to allow members to easily share formats with one another. In fact, the second post of this thread is updated periodically to relflect those add ons. Currently there are over 12 more additional formats contributed by AME users.
