Hello,
I made embedded a"bits on the run" video on my site which had a link back to that same page for sharing. But when I share it on Facebook, the Facebook version links back to bits on the run instead of to my original page that contained the video.
In other words, the URL on Facebook is : http://content.bitsontherun.com/previews/1Se5G6pK-0aVDH50Z
instead of listing my own page in the URL. I really need it to point back to my own page.
Am I missing something here?
Thanks,
Kirk
If you set the link property of a video to the URL of the page that you have embedded the video in, we will post that link to Facebook instead.
If the video player did not play in the wall, that happened because HTTPS is enabled in Facebook and the link to the video player in the preview page is currently HTTP. We're going to fix this in our next player update.
Please note that to have the video play in Facebook, you will have to include some og: headers in your page to tell Facebook where the video player is. Copy-pasting the og: headers in a preview page to the <head> of your page should do the trick; if you want to make sure the video plays inside the wall when people have enabled HTTPS for their Facebook account you will have to change this:
<meta property="og:video" content="http://content.bitsontherun.com/players/1Se5G6pK-0aVDH50Z.swf" />to this:
<meta property="og:video" content="https://content.bitsontherun.com/players/1Se5G6pK-0aVDH50Z.swf" />
