XF 2.1 After importing, video links are shown as links, not embedded

[Alan_SP]

After I imported from phpBB3.1 to XF2.1 (latest), videos in posts remained as links, not embedded.

I can edit each post and save right away, that does trick, but is there some faster way to do this on all posts, to turn links into embedded videos?

There's a post find/replace addon in the resources which uses regular expression pattern matching that is perfect for this task.

What would be regular expression to do this with standard YT links? I've seen this mod, but it was more for changing AME links into xenforo media format I'm not sure how to create regular expression for my needs.

XF 1.1 - Converting Media Tags from vb3

In vb3 I use AME Automatic Media Embeding. The problem is that AME have the possibility to restore link removing tags but it will restore it with tags... plus some tags are like [AME=youtube]9MkB6NkQscI and it will restore it like [url]9MkB6NkQscI do you suggest to maintain AME tags and...

Thing is, I don't have AME links, I have "plain" YT links, without AME. I can edit post, not touch anything and save, this works, but I would need to manually edit every post with video.

I believe page 3 and 4 of that resource have Youtube examples. I use regex101.com to build and test regular expressions, it a great time saver.
