I have been trying to get instagram service working for uploading video on filepicker.io. It shows an error - 'incorrect mimetype' if uploader is limited to mkv. If we remove the extension setting, then the video shows up as image in the selection window.
Does Filepicker.io support uploading videos from your Instagram account?
Quoting from the Ink filepicker support response:
We don't do video import from facebook, but we do from many other services (Dropbox, Google Drive, etc.)
I could not get video import from instagram to work as well so I assume it is not supported.

I need some help to get list of videos which is downloaded(or taken offline) by a user.
Does YouTube Rest API provide us any API to get list of saved video?
AFAIK, you will not be able to list offline videos from other users, even your own offline videos. This stack exchange post discussed the reason.
Those "offline" videos can only be played using official YouTube App,
and those videos simply can not be played using any other Video/Media
player application.
YouTube (means Google) controls the access to the offline file.
The permission is controlled on their server to access those
downloaded files and Since they are part of specific device, you
cannot access/view those using Google Account, from another device.
But if you want to list videos in youtube api, you can refer to this documentation.
I am developing a website for a one of my customers and this website is accessible in and outside of facebook. For some reasons i need to upload videos on facebook, But the problem is to upload videos not with the user permissions but i want to upload the video by the app.
So my question is to know if is possible to upload videos as the application and not as a user ?
Thanks
There is not concept of posting "as an application" and not as a user. You can either post the video to a User profile or to a Page. Seems like in you case, you can create a Page for your app and then upload the videos to the Page.
I'm creating a site which allows the user to watch videos. The videos are hosted on YouTube and embedded into our site. We would the user to be able to share our site on Facebook and have the video play inline on the Facebook wall.
We've gotten this to work using Open Graph tags, but there is one problem: when using Facebook through the iOS app or via iOS Safari, an error message comes up saying the playback is not supported since it requires Adobe Flash. Note that when you share a YouTube.com URL, there is an automatic fallback to HTML5 and the video will play on the wall.
How can I get my video to play on the wall? Or at least, how can I make the video link point to our site instead of triggering the error message?

Thanks.

iPhone App how to post Youtube video link using facebook graph Api
Posting an embedded video link using the Facebook Graph API
How can I post a video, via Facebook's Connect API, to my Facebook profile page?
I am currently developing a new website / facebook app for an online magic competition. I am hoping most of the functionality can come from Facebook's own services, and would like your feedback on how plausible our goals are.
Essentially there will be two types of users: magicians and voters. Magicians will upload a video of them performing a trick (or select a video they have already uploaded). Voters will vote for their favourite magicians, and be able to post these videos to their wall.
Are these possible:
Video upload to Facebook - I have had a search, but the only method I found uses the depreciated REST API. Is there a newer implementation?
Video download - After a user has uploaded a video are they (or can we) able to download their video from Facebook?
Embedding magicians Facebook videos on the standalone website?
Thank you in advance
You can still upload videos and photos using the graph api. We have done this into galleries for a number of clients.
see here for a picture example (works with other media objects such as videos):
Is it possible to post a status update and adding an image file with facebook graph API?
The problems you may face though are the issues of managing and approving content in the site.
One solution we have found is to combine YouTube API and Facebook to get the best of both worlds. you can now embed a YouTube uploader in your site / app which will post videos into a channel of yours but have an approval app to control what lands. Then add any voting mechanism of your choice to the stream of videos. You can use YouTube likes, Facebook likes or your own. Take a look at this video:

You can embed a YouTube channel into Facebook easily too:

Also using youtube, you can spread your net farther to reach more of an audience.
Hope this can be of some help. (No, I don't work for YouTube just find using more than one platform better)
I'm trying to find a way to upload a video to Facebook. I know It is possible as some apps do it. I was searching the web for hours but no results. I know it's somehow related to GData.
I managed to upload a video to youtube, can I somehow convert the code so it will upload to Facebook?
To a upload a video on Facebook, try this. They have a sample code here on how to upload a video using the Facebook Graph API.
I think, that the best way is to upload a video to youtube by using GData, and then post only link for it to Facebook by using FBConnect Objective-C library.
