how to embed facebook video
 

how to successfully embed a facebook video.. the film strip icon method says it supports it but it won't show anything but the link when posting :eek:

I am having the same issue :S it was working fine before, I have also tried the iframe method but it's not working as well.

Facebook changed things on there end. See the Jira issue here - http://tracker.vbulletin.com/browse/VBIV-15670 (Note, you must first login to the vbulletin.com forums as a Licensed User before you may see the Jira issue.) It looks like there is a template fix in there.

Mind you - FB changed that one and a half years ago. What really makes me wonder is how vB does not manage to merge such a simple, already provided and time proven fix into a release. This does not take weeks of testing or QA.

I put the coding in for that issue as you mentioned, even had to disable plugins as directed by the VB tech support which it was already disabled.. still puts in the facebook video link and no video shows. see it here: http://www.jerrylabella.com/forums/s...=6410#post6410

youtube videos show fine

:confused:

I think FB has disabled embeding videos.

You can change your video url as you add them as Lynn showed it in his comment. Not a perfect fix by any means but the only way I am able to post fb videos.

This still seems to be an issue (having to edit the code manually). How can we make it so VB will recognize simply pasting the video link and parse it properly?

Furthermore, all that is displayed is a still image with no "play" icon overlay or anything. If you click it, then the video starts but it's not evident at all. There must be a way to fix this?

Same issue here :(
