Info on getting video embedding working in facebook can be found at
http://www.facebook.com/share_partners.php and
http://forum.developers.facebook.com/viewtopic.php?id=32464
Basically what's needed is a <link> tag (and optionally some <meta> tags
in the video's page pointing to the flash video url, as well as a
whitelist request to facebook. The full link for a playable swf object
would look like: http://prod-
flv.engagemedia.org/FlowPlayer.swf?config={playList:[{url:'http://www.engagemedia.org/Members//JamieMUA/videos/Grand_Victory_ITF_V4.mpg/thumbnailImage_large',type:'jpg',overlayId:'play'},{url:'http
://prod-
flv.engagemedia.org//JamieMUA/videos/Grand_Victory_ITF_V4-550b0d66e7bb63492002802598f92150.flv'}],autoPlay:false,autoBuffering:false,loop:false,fullScreenScriptURL:'http
://prod-flv.engagemedia.org//fullscreen.js'}
(no spaces or newlines), while it may or may not be possible to use the
straight flv file and use video/x-flv as the video type...
I have send the following message to facebook developer's help to get
engagemedia.org whitelisted to embedded playback:
We run a video-sharing website http://www.engagemedia.org and would like
to have videos playable in facebook like youtube et al currently do. Our
flv/swf files are currently served from prod-flv.engagemedia.org. Can you
please whitelist both domains (www.engagemedia.org and prod-
flv.engagemedia.org)?
Also, regarding setting up meta tags on our site to make this work, is it
possible to link directly to an flv file, or do you need an swf for
embedding? Our files are hosted as flv, with a swf player configured for
each piece of content. I make a link for the swf-enabled file, but it
becomes a very long URL, and a direct link to the flv would be simpler.
i.e. what are the acceptable values for the video_type meta tag, and is
video/x-flv one of them?
