Iv'e noticed that if you share a sound cloud track to the new Facebook feed, onece you click the play button, the player is embedded inside of an iframe and not a flash movie.
Is that a new feature, or is that custom made for SoundCloud?
I cannot see it mentioned in the docs https://developers.facebook.com/docs/games/feed-gaming

I've notice that when you share a soundcloud link in facebook, and users click play on it,
it won't open a new window, instead it will expand the widget inside facebook feed and reveal a full player allowing the user to listen to the music without leaving facebook. The entire widget is acutally an iframe.
Kind of like what happens when playing videos, but with a custom player.
How can I do it for my own site that streams music?
This is probably not possible, but I'm throwing it out here for anyone with crazy awesome ideas or if they happened to come across some morsel of information about it.
I have an embedded YouTube player (iFrame) using the API, with a custom JS control bar. All that works great.
I want to have a share option, however, since the videos on my site will often appear as overlays, it's not ideal to have the page be shared, but rather the video itself. Is there a way to have a user share the YouTube link directly from my page, rather than just a link to my site?
I already realize the fallback is to create a URL on my site that takes a video id parameter and redirects to the proper youtube page.
Doesn't the embed video from YouTube include all YouTube features by default?
(Thumbs up, share, full screen, etc…)
I have a website where there are multiple videos on a single page and like to add a button to share each video separately onto Facebook wall and be capable of playing each video inside the Facebook timeline.
I understand if there was only one video to share on the page, it is as easy as adding Open Graph tags to the head of the page to make this happen. But this will obviously not work for me since there are multiple videos on the page with share to facebook buttons on each video.
Does anyone know how I can go about making this happen?
Its simple put the Facebook/Twitter/Google/etc buttons onto a separate page and use an iframe to put it on the main page. You can use php to automatically create the "share" pages.
I did it for a site I'm making you can see it here - http://www.lftv.com.br/index.php
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:
