XF 1.4 How to embed Facebook Videos?

[farang]

Embedding Facebook Videos doesn't seem to work.

This is an example code that facebook suggests for sharing a video.

<div id="fb-root"></div><script>(function(d, s, id) {  var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];  if (d.getElementById(id)) return;  js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id;  js.src = "//connect.facebook.net/sv_SE/sdk.js#xfbml=1&version=v2.3";  fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);}(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));</script><div class="fb-post" data-href="https://www.facebook.com/Meetville/videos/1008048852591083/" data-width="500"><div class="fb-xfbml-parse-ignore"><blockquote cite="https://www.facebook.com/Meetville/videos/1008048852591083/"><p>Homemade OlympicsMany thanks to R&#xe9;mi GAILLARD!</p>Posted by <a href="https://www.facebook.com/Meetville">Meetville</a> on <a href="https://www.facebook.com/Meetville/videos/1008048852591083/">den 14 april 2015</a></blockquote></div></div>

Embedding the URL for video is https://www.facebook.com/Meetville/videos/1008048852591083/ doesn't auto embed as well.

So if I need to alter anything to make auto embedding Facebook videos work, please provide an example for me. Thanks.

You just need to add this to Match URLs for the Facebook media bb code site.

facebook.com/*/videos/{$id:digits}

Hmm. I think that Facebook may have updated the format of their URLs for videos.

I can't embed this one either here on XenForo:

https://www.facebook.com/StarWars.UK/videos/vb.216676368377759/928794213832634/
which I can also get as https://www.facebook.com/StarWars.UK/videos/928794213832634/

I believe the current BB Code matched videos with URLs of the format facebook.com/*video.php?v={$id:digits}

https://www.facebook.com/StarWars.UK/videos/vb.216676368377759/928794213832634/

Adding an exttra */ seems to work for that format:

facebook.com/*/videos/*/{$id:digits}

Installing s9e Media BBCodes pack which has definitions for 102 media sites will allow Facebook media links just by cutting and pasting the URL in a message body.

As do the match URLs I posted above.

Although I use that add-on and would recommend it to members who want to add a range of BB Code media sites, if the OP only wants to embed Facebook videos then the amendment that Brogan suggested is sufficient and saves installing an add-on that adds a lot of stuff that may not be required.

Thank You

Sorry it's not working.
How I have to change HTML-code for embedding? I seems this one is old

<div class="fb-video" data-href="https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v={$id}" data-width="500"><div class="fb-xfbml-parse-ignore"><a href="https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v={$id}">https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v={$id}</a></div></div>

 

[Paul B]

This is the default embed code we are using now:

<div class="fb-video" data-href="https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v={$id}" data-width="500"><div class="fb-xfbml-parse-ignore"><a href="https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v={$id}">https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v={$id}</a></div></div>

 

[Oleg-Sentia]

This is the default embed code we are using now:

Once again it is not working
On the first picture is visible run time string
Second picture is a result, the blank place instead of video.
Problem appears when Facebook has changed format for video.

We'd really need a specific URL where it isn't working to give a more specific reason.

that is

bbcodes from admin's panel

facebook.com/*photo.php?v={$id:digits}
facebook.com/*/videos/{$id:digits}

 

[Mike]

The match URLs are:

facebook.com/*video.php?v={$id:digits}
facebook.com/*photo.php?v={$id:digits}
facebook.com/*/videos/{$id:digits}

But I think you just missed the first one because the videos are attempting to be embedded.

I think this might be a Facebook issue of some sort though, because the Facebook recommend feature at the bottom isn't working. I thought it might be language related, but it worked correctly locally in Russian. The only other thing I could think of is either a temporary Facebook issue or some limitation regarding your domain specifically.

Hi, problem was at the page Integration with facebook. There was invalid app ID

 

[Recep Baltaş]

This is still not fixed I think.

Like I can not embed this:

https://www.facebook.com/karikateist/videos/vb.174377972659359/1265903436840135/

 

[Paul B]

You will likely need a new match URL entry for that format.

 

[Bram]

You will likely need a new match URL entry for that format.

Which would be? Sorry I am running into the same issues as post 16.

No problem embedding Facebook video, but how do I decrease the size of FB video? It eats up the entire screen on mobile.

I wrote a guide on how to do this on our forum, this is still applicable
