Is it possible to embed html5 video player in facebook feed?
I tryed to setup OpenGraph meta tags, but after page sharing (http://autru.com/f) Facebook still doing post as link to website.
This is not possible at present. You can specify flash with fallback to mp4 etc, but you cannot have a custom HTML5 player for mp4.

I have a js player on which I have added interactivity. It was pretty easy since I used the HTML5 video element.
I was trying to include this player on my FB page but i know we need a swf player which is flash.
how to share a video from my website on facebook like youtube
I want to know if we can make ajax calls in the swf player when its on FB timeline?
Is there an open source swf player that I can use to extend its functionality?
Does Facebook provide a way to embed a custom HTML5 video player while sharing using Open Graph Tags? I know a flash player can be shared and have done so. I am building a custom HTML5 Video Player with a few overlays on top of the actual video. Is there a way to share the player and the video as is on Facebook?
No, it is not possible to embed HTML
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

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.

when you shared a youtube video on the facebook wall. The html5 video player is customized. Is this only for youtube?
I understand now you can specify the fallback video files sources in the meta tags. However, i would also like to have custom html5 player when sharing a video on iPad, not just a regualr html5 video player.
What should I do to get it working for my site?
I need an application that plays a video as the user clicks on my fan page image ..Youtube is a sample app.
I need exactly the same thing for my app.
As I click share on my fan page, it shares the fan page , I am using the http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php with params title, summary,p[url],images[0],url..
As I click on the image on the user's profile page, It needs to start loading a video.
How can I do that?
I'd suggest to use facebook's opengraph protocol, you can use og:video tags with swf from opengraph dynamically on your page:
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/opengraph/
anytime the page with og:video tags is liked - the swf is automatically embedded on the user's wall, users have to click it to start playing exactly like youtube videos.
If I am not mistaken, Facebook does not allow you to auto play in-line videos.
