Og vidéo integration

    Hello, I would like to know if it was possible (I think you need to do something on your side)..

    <b>What I would like, is to have the possibility to embed the video directly in Facebook. </b>

    You can see what i mean here: https://www.facebook.com/RTLInfo/posts/10153446665546106?__mref=message

    On that thing, you see that the video is loaded directly from the website, the video isnt hosted on Facebook. Its the same thing you get with youtube video posted on Facebook.
    So, if the player used by RTL info can do that, yours could probably do it and be a good point for you to have this possibility.

    <b>I think i made everything I could on my side, i declared your player.: </b>
    global $wp_query;
    $post_id = $wp_query->post->ID;
    $post = get_post( $post_id );
    if ($post->post_type==”page”) {
    if (preg_match(“/fvplayer/Umsi”,$post->post_content)) {

    preg_match_all(“/fvplayer src=\”(.*)\”/Umsi”,$post->post_content,$matches);
    $type = “video”;
    $video_path = $matches[1][0];
    $this->og_tag(‘og:video’, “http://nordpresse.be/wp-content/plugins/fv-player-vast/swf/fv-player-vast.swf&#8221;.urlencode($video_path) );
    $this->og_tag(‘og:video:secure_url’, “https://nordpresse.be/wp-content/plugins/fv-player-vast/swf/fv-player-vast.swf&#8221;.urlencode($video_path) );

    $this->og_tag(‘og:video:type’, “application/x-shockwave-flash” );
    $this->og_tag(‘og:video:width’, “400” );
    $this->og_tag(‘og:video:height’, “300” );
    }
    }

    <b>If i declare fv player in the meta tags; i get this for the moment:</b>

    https://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=148433045572260&id=100012166956584

    See, there is a “play button”, but the video doesnt load and links back to the website.

    Hello Vincent,

    thank you for the RTL Info example. I checked what they do and indeed they are using a SWF to get the work done.

    However FV Player is HTML5 video player with Flash compatibility and fallback. The SWF alone can’t be used as a full-featured player.

    We could test if iframes would work for this, as our player supports iframe embedding and OG tag for video type can be set as following: <meta property=”og:video:type” content=”text/html”>

    But it appears your site would have to be whitelisted by Facebook to allow this (YouTube has it). I had a try and the iframe URL was simply put into the <video> tag rather than using it for the iframe. So it appears you can only insert SWF or a MP4 file as documented here: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/sharing/opengraph/object-properties -> og:video:type

    Thanks,
    Martin

    Hello Vincent,

    next FV Player release will contain an option to enable Facebook Video Sharing.

    When enabled any MP4 video without download protection with a splash image will be shared to Facebook directly rather than the standard post excerpt with a image.

    If you could test it out in the beta release, it would be most welcome. You can get it be reinstalling the plugin from the following ZIP file: https://github.com/foliovision/fv-wordpress-flowplayer/archive/master.zip

    Before you install that version you must first deactivate and delete your existing FV Player plugin. No settings or videos will be lost.

    Please let us know if you have any issues.

    Thanks,
    Martin
