Share Videos to Facebook

Is there a mod in here that will enable us not only to share a VIDEO URL LINK but actually enable us to embed the video in FB just like the feature that YOUTUBE has?  This is a video sharing must to drive future members to DOLPHIN sites.  I know the link does the same thing but with an added bonus with the embed, future mebers can watch the video in FB and will want to see more.  This will catch their interest.  The URL LINK is to for the lack of a better word "LAME" and uninteresting.

Calling all developers.  HELP. Please.

 

Respectfully,

Has Facebook approved your domain for video sharing?  .....Because if it isn't, everything else is moot.

I have my domain white listed, approved and able to embed videos to Facebook, yet even with simple link sharing the only thumbnail available is the site logo. I get a thumbnail choice when I sahre a photo or article, but for Boonex videos, no thumbnails are available, because there is no open graph meta tags in place with the thumbnail source.

Anyone got any ideas how to add this missing meta tag for open graph to boonex header? Which File to edit? Also for the embedding to work with Facebook, you need to provide the url to the swf for the video as well, also via Meta tag, again where and how do I accomplish this?

Any Clues? Any one?

This is an issue and has the potential to add quite a bit of traffic.  The current setup is lacking...........Video's are a very powerful draw to a site embedded is amazing.........being able to share with just a picture would be fine by me............seems like such a trivial thing but so important.   I have stats on video clicks with pictures and without about 90 percent difference.............

hey guys, this appears easy enough for you to get squared away. even facebook is allowing 20 minute recorded videos. and you can get embed source that makes sense. this disaster that the dolphin app spits out as an embed code, where would that actually work at?

ah, its stripping my video embed code from facebook?

The video contest that I had built allows contestants to share the link to video entry to facebook - but is shares the thumbnail of the video ojn the FB wall. This is better than just a logo or an avatar pic, but to embed video would be good.

It uses the youtube crossover, but the code to share the thumbnail had to be custom written.

dont know if this helps?

I have spent considerable time on this.

I just need someone to help me on how can i insert different(dynamic) meta tags on every different video page.

 

If Houston or any Dolphin expert here can shed some light on this, we all would be really grateful.

No one knows how to do this ... I have gotten the share buttons to work and my domain is approved to share videos but I can not figure out how to dynamically add the meta data I need. And I don't know what page to add it to. Can someone please help?!?!

LOL, I'd love to see it fixed but I ain;t no coder. It took me a year to figure out how to bold the text in the signature line
