XF 1.0 Facebook Video Embed Code Not Working

[sophie1204]

Just tried this for the first time, and it doesn't seem to be working. I get the following message:

"The specified URL can not be embedded as media."

Any thoughts?

I do plan to upgrade soon to 1.2. Will that take care of it?

What is the URL?

<iframe src="https://www.facebook.com/video/embed?video_id=10201763060380919" width="1280" height="720" frameborder="0"></iframe>

What is the URL of the facebook video you are trying to embed?

You can't embed the iframe code directly.

Add this to the match URLs field in the ACP:

facebook.com/video/embed?video_id={$id:digits}

Then just paste the actual link: https://www.facebook.com/video/embed?video_id=10201763060380919

Thanks!

Where would I find the match URL's field?

Thanks, again! Did that, and now all I get is a blank spot where the video should appear.

It works on my local - I tested it using that video.

Should I have changed something in the "Embed HTML" section, too?

What do you currently have?

All of the latest embed codes are listed here: http://xenforo.com/community/thread...nt-information-and-actions-to-be-taken.56027/

I have this:

<object width="500" height="300" data="http://www.facebook.com/v/{$id}" type="application/x-shockwave-flash">
    <param name="movie" value="http://www.facebook.com/v/{$id}" />
    <param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" />
    <param name="wmode" value="opaque" />
    <embed src="http://www.facebook.com/v/{$id}" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" wmode="opaque" width="500" height="300" />
</object>

Incidentally, in the embed HTML code, I changed "http://www.facebook.com/v/{$id}" to "http://www.facebook.com/video_id/{$id}" and it still comes up blank.

Hey, thanks! It was the embed code. I changed it and now it's working.
