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)

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 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
I know this question has been rised quite a lot of times, but then they constantly change things at Facebook and none of the numerous ways I've discovered on the web, works for me. Maybe it worked before, but not anymore.
I have a web page with a video playing in our skinned jwplayer. All the og tags are beautifully set, so that when a visitor likes the page, it's title, description, thumb and custom flash player are nicely shared on the users wall. Video even plays right there on the wall, in the embedded and customized flash player. So everything works as expected.
But!.. We would like to auto-post our new posts onto the website's page on Facebook and we want them to look exactly like when they are shared. One would probably expect that it'd be enough to simply post a link through PHP SDK and facebook will do the rest. But it doesn't. It seems to not pay attention at og tags in latter case.
What would be the right way to do this? Is it possible to force facebook to look at og tags? Or how to publish a post with a video in a similar way, but through PHP SDK?

What exactly are you posting – just a link, or a post containing a link?
(For difference between the two types of creating a feed object see https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/api/user/#posts vs https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/api/user/#links)
Is it possible to force facebook to look at og tags?
Normally it does without any further action neccessary.
Have you tried, though, putting your new posts URL through Facebook debugger before posting it?
OK, so I'm currently having a play around building an iPhone Web App, in which it displays an RSS feed. I have got it displaying nicely and looking good, but everytime a user clicks on the title of a story, they then get taken to the main site, which I don't want as it's not mobile optimised. The rss feed is a full rss feed, so the whole story is in the description. I want the description, along with other html code that's neccesary for the web app, to display when the user clicks the title. What link I direct them to is not a problem, the problem is how to get the description displaying along with the other html when they go to that link.
Is it possible to do this? Perhaps with javascript, which I don't really know but a few pointers would be great?!
Thank you!
You can package up the data you have and push it into a UIWebView.
