I would like to post a youtube video on my Facebook page, I used http://yt2fb.com/ to look like a native one and I would like it to autorun when I scroll down the page
I've downloaded http://www.thunderpenny.com/ and add autoplay=1 but it doesn't publish the video.
Do you have any suggestions?

I'm wondering if it is possible to embed a facebook live video stream, on a website, and how you go about doing it.
You can embed Facebook live stream as simple
Just use your iframe src link like this:
src="https://www.facebook.com/plugins/video.php?href=https://www.facebook.com/username/live"
Example: https://jsfiddle.net/32ntsf04/
FB does not give you an easy way to stream live on a website while you are live on FB but it is possible. You would just grab the embed code just like you would from any FB video. You would then need to update the Live video ID in the embed code every time you are live... not very convenient.
You get the Facebook Live Video ID from the URL of the page you are live on.
There are a few wordpress plugins that will help you do this, or you can look at https://vidlive.co. Create a widget, put it on any website and it will stream live when your are live on FB.
When I share a link to any Youtube video the video is not loaded to the chronicle and only the link appears in the post as shown in the first link hereafter. In comparison links to vimeo video work well as shown in the second link hereafter. Could you tell why this happens with the links to Youtube video?

Refresh your page, or restart the browser. Sometimes it deosn't show the preview.
I'm trying to do a Feed Dialog in Facebook with a video already uploaded in Facebook.
First, I tried putting in the 'source' param the URL of the video, extracting it with the json return by Graph Api. However, Facebook doesn´t support their own media URLs in this way.
My intention is to show the same effect when you click in "Share" in any video in you facebook profile, but I don't know how i can refer the video.
I don't find anything in the Facebook's developers documentation.
Try linking to the video page itself, like how you link to YouTube if you want to share a video. Facebook renders the YouTube player in the wall when you do this, so in theory it should do the same when you share a Facebook Video URL.
I've just found the option: "Embed this Video" . In the code that Facebook gives in this option, I can find the URL for the video (www.facebook.com/v/video_id), and this works fine in the feed dialog.
The problem was the URL given in the JSON.
Thanks
The video links shared via my website on Facebook appear as only images in the shared link; Facebook doesn't seem to recognize the content as video.
I've debugged the URL via Facebook debugger, and every thing appears fine:
<http://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/og/object?q=www.vlikeviral.com%2Fvideos%2Fplay%3Fid%3D10>
The thumbnail that appears under the link does not have a play button on it. As you can see in the debug details, the appropriate og tags are already present on the page.
For video playing Facebook is not considering og:video tag, instead of that it is looking for og:video:secure_url tag
refer-link: https://developers.facebook.com/blog/post/602/
You seem to be missing an og:video tag pointing to the video source.
See also Shared Facebook video is not displayed inline in wall posts for HTTPS users - you also need to include the HTTPS source if you want users browsing Facebook over HTTPS to see the inline video.
It is very easy. You can add play button on an image like Facebook play button by using adobe Photoshop. Watch this video you will understand how to add it on the image.

So the story is this, I added a custom object to my app called Music Video and an action called Watch. I have all the needed meta tags in my pages to show the flash video, the linter reads them perfectly, it says that the type of share for my object is Video also.
If I post it using the like social plugin the flash video shows just fine but with my custom Watch action just shows the thumbnail and no play button, no nothing.
Do you know any example of apps using the new open graph api to embed video?
Facebook currently does not embed Flash video alongside stories generated from the build-in Watch action or on custom actions. Facebook will however embed the video if the URL is organically shared (copy and pasted into the Composer in Facebook) or liked via the Like button.
For now, this means a click on the watch news feed or ticker story will drive the user to your site, where you can authenticate them, play the video, and publish another watch action on their behalf.
I don't know when the changes took effect, but you can check it right here:
