DJ's AMEs (Local Hosted Media Definitions)
These XML Files must be imported through your AME CP. That requires The Geek's AME - The Automatic Media Embedding System to be installed on your forum. Then you can come back and import these definitions.
This set of definitions is for Locally Hosted Media, which means this is for media you've uploaded to your own website.
NOTE: This DOES NOT embed attachments.
INSTALLATION
If you haven't already, extract the contents of the ZIP file. Go to your Admin CP >>> AME CP >> Import Definitions. Then click the Browse button and import each XML desired.
CONFIGURING THE DEFINITIONS
These XML files need to be edited, either in the AME CP or in an HTML Editor. (They can also be edited during the Import process.) Look for YOURSITENAME in the Replacement HTML and change it to the domain name of your site. Do not include .com, .net, .de, .co.uk or anything like that.
([
http://]*[\w]*[\.]*YOURSITENAMEHERE\.[\w/&;%-\.]+\.divx)
So, for example, if your site is
City of Gamers Online Community, then you'd change YOURSITENAMEHERE to cogonline.
([
http://]*[\w]*[\.]*cogonline\.[\w/&;%-\.]+\.divx)
DEFINITION NAME
You can also change the name of the definition to whatever you wish. This is the name that will display in the header of posted videos, provided you keep the Container turned on. The HTML tags are just there to make the name show up bold and italicized in your Admin CP and are not required.
Note that AME titles have a 50 character limit in the AME CP, so if you notice characters being stripped out when you save them that's why. Remove the HTML or shorten the title if you notice parsing problems as a result of this.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
These XML Files must be imported through your AME CP. That requires The Geek's AME - The Automatic Media Embedding System to be installed on your forum. Then you can come back and import these definitions.
NOTE: These definitions are for AME 2.5+. They will not work in AME 2.0 or lower. For the proper set of definitions, visit this thread:
DJ's AME (Auto Media Embedding) XML Media Definitions (Third Time's the Charm) - vBulletin.org Forum
ABOUT 2.5
The purpose of creating a whole new set of definitions for 2.5 is because this version of AME uses new height and width variables. $ameinfo[height] and $ameinfo[width] respectively.
Code:
<object width="$ameinfo[width]" height="$ameinfo[height]">
<param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/$p1&start=$p2"></param>
<param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param>
<embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/$p1&start=$p2" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="$ameinfo[width]" height="$ameinfo[width]" wmode="transparent"></embed></object>
These variables support the global sizing options now available in your AME CP for Posts, Profile Comments, Signatures and Blogs. While you can still use the old definitions in AME 2.5, the whole point of upgrading to that version is to take advantage of these new resizing features.
Note that some definitions either didn't need or couldn't use the new variables for practical reasons. But those definitions are still included in both ZIPs and the XML. You can find a complete list of them here. Also note that the old definitions for 2.0 will continue to be supported with all the same sites as the 2.5 versions.
Why "Delta"? Because "DJ's AME's 2" kinda sucks and I thought "Delta" sounded cool. Shall we move on...?
DOWNLOAD & INSTALLATION
If you're reading this Read Me, it means you downloaded the ZIP file, though you don't necessarily need to do that. In case you missed this explanation in the thread description, here it is again.
DJ's Master XML (Delta): This is the file you want if you're starting fresh and want the complete line of supported media sites. Remember that definitions do not overwrite, so you would need to delete your default definitions before importing this file.
DJ AMEs (Delta): This ZIP file contains all the same sites as the Master XML, but as individual XML files, in case you want to pick and choose which sites you want support for.
DJ's Local Hosted AMEs (Delta): This ZIP file contains the definitions for locally hosted media, that is, media your hosting on your own server. As explained in the modification thread, you need to make the appropriate edits upon import and it does not convert videos uploaded as attachments. (Also see the Read Me in the Local Hosted ZIP file)
TWO THINGS TO REMEMBER
Your brand spanking new installation of AME comes with a stock set of definitions. Odds are they are outdated, as these media sites change they way they do things quickly and frequently. DJ's AMEs attempts to keep up with those changes as best we can. As a result, there are two things you need to remember when importing definitions:
1. Definitions are installed by importing them through your AME CP in your Admin CP. YOU DO NOT IMPORT THEM THROUGH YOUR PRODUCT MANAGER. (See Picture)
2. Definitions DO NOT overwrite. Just because you import a new YouTube definition does not mean your old one will go away. You'll need to delete the old one. If your just starting out and importing my Master XML, then you'll need to deleted all the stock definitions first.
Additionally, there are some images available in the ZIP file or in the main post needed for definitions like Amazon (Links), Wikipedia (Links) or zSHARE. The images should be added to the misc directory of each style your forum uses.
Example: yoursite.com/images/misc
Example: yoursite.com/[Your Style Folder]/misc
DEFINITIONS 101
Your definitions are not static, nor are the sites that they support. So here's a few things you should know as an administrator in case questions arise. This info will also help you customize your definitions in a number of different ways, such as changing the colors on some music players or adding your own Affiliate ID for some product sites:
