og:event event:start_time not working - facebook

I have
<meta property="og:type" content="event" />
and the Object Graph Object Debugger from faceboook tells me type is invalid because a required property 'event:start_time' of type 'date_time' was not provided. I cannot find in any facebook documentation what the correct form is for event:start_time is.
I have tried the following:-
<meta property="og:type" content="event" />
<meta property="og:event:start_date" content="30/04/2017" />
and
<meta property="og:type" content="event" />
<meta property="og:event:start_date" content="30/04/2017" />
and
<meta property="og:type" content="event" />
<meta property="og:event:start_date" content="1490961953365" />
and
<meta property="og:type" content="event">
<meta property="og:event:start_date" content="2017-03-31T12:05:53.365Z">
and
<meta property="og:type" content="event">
<meta property="event:start_date" content="2017-03-31T12:05:53.365Z">

Error was
event:start_date
should have been
event:start_time
ISO Date is required (as CBroe identifies). Presence of Seconds, Microseconds and Timezone not specified in http://ogp.me/#data_types

facebook scraper doesn't see og tags

when facebook share debugger is scraping the page it shows this warning:
The 'og:image' property should be explicitly provided, even if a value can be inferred from other tags.
The following required properties are missing: og:url, og:type, og:title, og:image, og:description, fb:app_id
although all these meta tags are in the page when we look at the page source code like below:
<meta property="fb:app_id" content="966242223397117" />
<meta property="og:title" content="asaaaa" />
<meta property="og:image" content="" />
<meta property="og:image:width" content="900" />
<meta property="og:image:height" content="578" />
<meta property="og:site_name" content="+INP" />
<meta property="og:description" content="saaasaaa" />
<meta name="twitter:description" content="sasdaaaa">
<meta property="og:url" content="https://www.inp.plus/news/45792" />
<meta property="og:type" content="article" />
the thing is it does not read those tags with this type of link
/news/34131
but it does read the same tags with other type of links
articles/321
with tags like below:
<meta property="fb:app_id" content="966242223397117" />
<meta property="og:title" content="asdaaaa" />
<meta property="og:image" content="https://www.inp.plus/userfiles/Image/articles/2018/05/20180511_39395.jpg" />
<meta property="og:image:width" content="900" />
<meta property="og:image:height" content="581" />
<meta property="og:site_name" content="+INP" />
<meta property="og:description" content="fdaaaa" />
<meta name="twitter:description" content="asdfaaa">
<meta property="og:url" content="https://www.inp.plus/articles/299" />
<meta property="og:type" content="article" />
I mean is there a difference between them to make the second one seen by the facebook scraper not the first one.

What does it mean when facebook is showing "index of /" text when sharing?

I shared my site in fb and in place where the image should be it says just "index of /". ??
I have these in my head:
<head prefix="og: http://ogp.me/ns#">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial scale=1.0"/>
<meta property="og:description" content="Graphic design etc other stuff..." />
<meta property="og:title" content="Audiovisual" />
<meta property="og:locale" content="en_US" />
<meta property="og:image" content="/images/ogimage.png" />
<meta property="og:image:type" content="image/png" />
<meta property="og:image:width" content="1200" />
<meta property="og:image:height" content="630" />
<link rel="canonical" href="http://audiovisuaalinen.work/english.html" />
<meta property="og:url" content="http://audiovisuaalinen.work/english.html" />
<meta property="og:type" content="product" />
<meta property="fb:admins" content="1385587538423284" />
If you want to control more of what Facebook uses in their snippets, you can add open graph tags to your site. Then Facebook will use those tags to populate the title, description, thumbnail, etc. when shared on Facebook.
You have to use an absolute URL for the Open Graph image:
<meta property="og:image" content="http://audiovisuaalinen.work/images/ogimage.png" />

FB OG Product Object not displaying all fields?

This is my first interaction with OG and I'm sure I am missing something simple. I have the following as a self hosted object:
<meta property="fb:app_id" content="3...." />
<meta property="og:title" content="..." />
<meta property="og:image" content="https://.com/img/..." />
<meta property="og:url" content="https://.com/myobjectpage.html" />
<meta property="og:type" content="product" />
<meta property="product:product_link" content="https://.com/p/64/..." />
<meta property="og:description" content="This course...." />
Now everything is showing properly EXCEPT product:product_link it doesn't show anywhere. The debugger gives it a green light so not sure what is wrong.
Any pointers / help would be greatly appreciated.

OG tags are not parsed into scraper

I'd like to post articles from my site onto my timeline, however somewhere along the line the metatags are emptied. For example:
http://www.uisge-beatha.eu/logboek/401/Verbouwing-koelbox-3.html
If I look at the source of the site I see the following OG-tags
<link rel="canonical" href="http://www.uisge-beatha.eu/logboek/401/30/Verbouwing-koelbox-3.html" />
<meta property="fb:app_id" content="175931732519501" />
<meta property='og:type' content='article'>
<meta property="og:url" content="http://www.uisge-beatha.eu/logboek/401/30/Verbouwing-koelbox-3.html" />
<meta property="og:image" content="http://www.uisge-beatha.eu/uploads/cgblog/id401/Koelkast_-_30.jpg" />
<meta property="og:title" content="Verbouwing koelbox - 3" />
<meta property="og:description" content="Het testen van de compressor..." />
By checking the FB debugger, it sometime process it ok and sometimes it fails. All for unknown reason. https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/og/object?q=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.uisge-beatha.eu%2Flogboek%2F401%2FVerbouwing-koelbox-3.html
In the case it processes ok, I do see the information I would expect based on the source of the page, by looking at the OG-metatags. However, if I look at scraper, than these metatags are empty.
<link rel="canonical" href="http://www.uisge-beatha.eu/Nieuwtjes.html">
<meta property="fb:app_id" content="175931732519501">
<meta property="og:type" content="article">
<meta property="og:url" content="">
<meta property="og:image" content="/">
<meta property="og:title" content="">
<meta property="og:description" content="">
Don't know why these are empty. Been digging for an solution for hours, but find none.
The template of the site responsible for "filling" the metatages contains smarty logic:
<link rel="image_src" type="image/jpeg" href="{$entry->file_location}/{$entry->fieldsbyname.facebook_thumbnail->value}" alt="{$entry->title|escape}" />
{if isset($canonical)}<link rel="canonical" href="{$canonical}" />
{elseif isset($content_obj)}<link rel="canonical" href="{$content_obj->GetURL()}" />
{/if}
<meta property="fb:app_id" content="175931732519501" />
<meta property='og:type' content='article'>
<meta property="og:url" content="{$canonical}" />
<meta property="og:image" content="{$entry->file_location}/{$entry->fieldsbyname.facebook_thumbnail->value}" />
<meta property="og:title" content="{$entry->title|escape}" />
<meta property="og:description" content="{$entry->summary|strip_tags:false}" />
Anyone who is willing to help me out on this somehow strange behaviour?

Open Graph Protocol vs sharing link on facebook?

When i use graphic protocol to let facebook fetch to our link, i have a problem as follow. (My site is vietnamese)
Fisrt: I do a test on sucsongmoi.net/facebook.html (it work perfectly)
Second: I apply this (tag) to others page like url: http://sucsongmoi.net/48/tam-kieu-ca-si-thu-minh-6882s.html
Butt it doesn't works any more. I feel strange. i did a test on https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug but seem i couldn't figure out the problem.
Thanks in advance
Code:
This is meta for second link:
<title>Tắm kiểu ca sĩ Thu Minh - SSM</title>
<meta property="og:title" content="Tắm kiểu ca sĩ Thu Minh - SSM" />
<meta property="og:type" content="article" />
<meta property="og:url" content="sucsongmoi.net/48/tam-kieu-ca-si-thu-minh-6882s.html"; />
<meta property="og:image" content="sucsongmoi.net/images/logo.png"; />

A little thing, why you have semi-colon after your attribute?
<meta property="og:url" content="sucsongmoi.net/facebook.html"; />
<meta property="og:url" content="sucsongmoi.net/48/tam-kieu-ca-si-thu-minh-6882s.html"; />
And when I debug your link, FB debugger said:
Inferred Property: The og:url property should be explicitly provided, even if a value can be inferred from other tags.
Inferred Property: The og:title property should be explicitly provided, even if a value can be inferred from other tags.
That means you didn't put meta tag to your page, check it again
