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

Is it possible to place an picture in the FB timeline and when click on it, a popup window with an iframe or lighbox appears?
I want place an interactive video in the Timeline. Visitors must click on the picture without leaving the Facebook page.
No, you can't inject popups/Lightboxes into the Facebook Newsfeed.
You can try use swf, and their character of custom video players, to get some interactivity. But in general, people don't really enjoy that experience.
we are posting the videos on the wall of user and the pages he has. we shares a link with og:tags the content gets render and flash works fine in page timeline. now we need to do is, we need to change some behavior if the video is shared from the page timeline the share button under the post along with the link and comment link, we need to add an extra parameter to the sharing URL if user shares the video ,
and some call back so we can change in our database that the video link is shared
i had Google it but not founded any way around yet.
to see the behavior:

I wondered if anyone know how soundcloud has been able to create a widget that plays directly in posts and comments on facebook?
Is this done via a specific deal they made with facebook, or is there actually a way to create a widget display when a certain type of link is shared?
Any insight on how this works would be great.
Thanks.
read the FB documentation on open graph - og:video tag.
facebook allows to show SWF inside the posts/comments. So all you need is to create a flash player for your content.
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 an audio stream I'd like to include on a Facebook Page, above or at the top of, the wall. Apparently BBC did this (though I can't find the link). Any suggestions on where I should start? I have the html hosted as a Heroku app right now, and can get it to display as a separate link on the Page. But how do I move it from it's own page and onto the Wall?
Thanks much from a FB Developer newbie,
Peter
Peter i believe what you might have seen is actually a page tab, with a feed app included to which they would have developed the feed itself as part of the tab..
tab http://developers.facebook.com/docs/appsonfacebook/pagetabs
if you wish to inlucude a flash movie or audio on the wall itself as a post.
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/opengraph/#audiovideo
if you can find us the link to the page you seen this on it would help alot.
This is not possible, there's no way to embed custom content into a facebook page wall, except via the existing public APIs (none of which will allow auto playing of audio content - this is deliberate)
