Interactive player on feed - facebook

I'm trying to build a custom interactive player that works in the facebook feed when shared, in the likes of this one, but as far as I've been able to research it's not something available yet (as seen here for example), but I also couldn't find any official facebook documentation on it. Does anybody have any insight into that?

My clips never gets HD quality on Facebook

I have a problem uploading videos to Facebook and keep the original quality. I have tried every step and various solutions but it still never get HD (1080p) quality as the source file are. The highest I get is 720p.
I have Premiere Pro CC, the lastest version, and I have tried almost every codec settings there is. My file is in good quality 1080x1080 and when I export it the video looks great on the computer and even on Youtube.
Unfortunately with Facebook I can't get it to Work on my customers Facebook Page and the material looks crap.
There are other firms also uploading videos to the pages and theire content gets HD quality.
I have tried:
Alomost every codec setting recomended out there with h264.
I have checked the HD-box in Video Settings on my Facebook.
I have tried export it in Apple ProRes HQ and uploaded 1-2 GB files.
I have downloaded HD 1080p material from Youtube and uploaded to FB.
I have tried upload directly and even schedule it for weeks later.
Unfortunately there is still no luck.
Anyone out there having a solution I should try?
So I had the same problem for ages! and after a LOT of research, the only real answer I found is that Facebook gives different priorities to different users (ex: Verified and Not Verified).
So it has nothing to do with your rendering export settings...
It's all Facebook decisions...
It sounds like it may simply be a problem with the upload handling. You should be fine utilizing the native Facebook codec though it never hurts to rebuild it. There's explicit steps you can take here regarding Facebook codec standards: https://blog.pond5.com/12628-social-media-export-settings-in-adobe-premiere-pro-the-ultimate-guide/
Here's a few things I recommend for troubleshooting:
check that HD gear in the bottom right corner includes 1080. If it only goes up to
720, check to make sure your file is indeed 1080x1080.
make sure you are the one uploading directly into your customer's Facebook page.
after you've uploaded it, give it 10-20 minutes and check on it again. It's possible that they haven't finished converting the file to the proper quality if you immediately view it after upload.
I have the same issue. The best answer you have to speak someone with Technical support and this is only possible if you publish this question everywhere over the internet because the regular support are trained only to send you useless articles.
Secondly Youtube is the king of HD and 4K videos so far. Check out my 4K video. When i try to upload this 4K video on my facebook page. They simple create error. Then i downgrade it to 1080p and after upload it only watchable in 720p. Since, facebook do not care about real creator they will never reply your comments on time so get some real one from linkedin or nudge again and again their support by calling and emailing them back to back so they force to add a real technical guy in your discussion and he will solve your issue on your facebook page.
Drop me your page link on my Instagram Profile. i will add you in my discussion with facebook technical team.

DFP small business - video custom criteria

We're experiencing issues with custom criteria and video. The issue is simple, custom criteria just don't seem to work at all for video tags. Some details:
We've booked a test video on sponsorship 100% with custom criteria domaincode=nl and game-id=21485 in DFP small business.
Our video link http://pubads.g.doubleclick.net/gampad/ads?sz=640x480&iu=/1053551/Video-Preloader&ciu_szs&impl=s&gdfp_req=1&env=vp&output=xml_vast2&unviewed_position_start=1&url={url}&description_url={descriptionUrl}&correlator={timestamp}&cust_params=domaincode%3Dnl%26pagetype%3Dgame%26ingame-ad%3Dtrue%26categories%3D3%2C65%2C80%2C98%2C406%26game-id%3D21485%26
{url}, { descriptionUrl} and {timestamp} are correctly replaced.
The custom criteria are made according to: https://support.google.com/dfp_premium/answer/1080597
Decoded cust_params:
domaincode=nl&pagetype=game&ingame-ad=true&categories=3,65,80,98,406&game-id=21485&
Our google representative told us to look into our video player implementation, which I did and didn't find anything out of order. It uses the IMA3 SDK just like the video inspector from google, which I normally use for testing.
Video inspector: developers.google.com/interactive-media-ads/docs/vastinspector_dual?hl=nl
Does anybody have a system running with video + custom criteria and sees a flaw in our setup? Is this a DFP Premium only feature?
Thanks in advance,
Casper
Good news, the ima3 sdk is doing it's job just fine. For some reason the video inspector now shows the correct video with custom criteria, which means that I can fix it also on our sites. I can't explain why it took DFP more than 2 hours to activate the video, but I'm just glad that it works.
Conclusion, custom criteria for video on DFP small business works just fine. Use https://support.google.com/dfp_premium/answer/1080597 for implementation details.

is it possible to upload video on flickr using sharekit or other ios-sdk?

I want to share video on Flickr . I have done lots of searching of net and group discussions but I didn't get any helpful data or links, so please give me some useful links and tutorial for uploading video on Flickr without giving me any negative votes.
Have you tried to look\study the flickr api? (Link here) it tells you all the services you have available. It doesn't look like the best documentation, and i don't really know flickr but i don't see any mention of videos (don't know if it's even possible).
Hope this helps.

iOS photo gallery - flickr

I'm working on an app for a client and the client wants absolutely everything to be shareable (using sharekit). One of the views that the client wants is a photo gallery that can be easily updated and viewed. I've looked around at folks who have done this and I particularly like the way the Obama 2012 app does it using flickr. This brings me to the question, I'm trying to use the flickr api to display a photo gallery that will allow sharekit to share the url to the image but am hitting a brick wall. I've searched for a few days now and haven't found a tutorial that shows a working example in the way I need it, if anyone has done something similar or knows a good tutorial that would be greatly appreciated.
Download the list of images using the Flickr API, and asynchronously add them to a UIScrollView inside a UINavigationController with its back button as "back". Then add a UIToolBar which has the items 'Next' and 'Previous' (use images). That will give you the look of a photo gallery.
Also, I came across this which is basically what I told you to do, but open source: http://www.cocoacontrols.com/platforms/ios/controls/fgallery
I wrote a tutorial on building a media gallery using a UICollectionView. It populates from the user's photo library, but is definitely more extensible than using a 3rd party.

Hope that helps. Cheers!

tutorial using gstreamer for saving photos and videos from web cam

I know that i have to use gstreamer for creating an application to capture photo and videos
from web cam. But, i could not find any documentation describing vividly the steps for creating the
same. It will be very pleased,if any one could helped me in this.

There is a GNOME/vala tutorial in the work that shows you how to make a Gtk application to grab pictures:
https://developer.gnome.org/gnome-devel-demos/3.10/magic-mirror.vala.html.en
Saving a video is left for you to do, you'll have to use a tee to have both live preview and recording simultaneously.
Also, there is a high-level object, camerabin, for your case, but I never used it myself.
Camerabin is being used by libcheese, that is even higher level and depends on Clutter (but not Gtk), and allows you to plug effects with cheese_camera_set_effect().
Pick what you need!
