    I tested this on XenForo without issues, so it's something related specifically to KH-Vids.

    If I paste this Amazon link in its raw URL form (non-hyperlink), KH-Vids will automatically change and wrap it in MEDIA BB code even though it's not media:

    Code:
    http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00B7GV802/
    Result below:


    Quote this post and you'll see the MEDIA tags.

    Alright I looked this up and [while I have no access to this specifically] I can only assume Amazon was either added as a site for embedded media, or it is one of the preconfigured sites. I'm guessing this is because Amazon now has videos and so goes into an automatic assumption that you are linking one of the Amazon videos.

    My advice until someone who has the power to check this out can, is to link amazon using the shorthand it provides when you click "Share"

    http://amzn.com/B00B7GV802

    because this does not automatically embed as media.

    I updated our media sites add-on because we were having issues with the SoundCloud one, didn't realize an amazon one was included. I've disabled it.
