Twitter sharing is broken

Posted: May 19, 2011

Twitter recently changed how it does sharing and so the twitter share button in Viral Video no longer works properly. I love this share feature within the player and would rather not go back to the way we were doing it before -- outside of the player; but it's got to work -- i.e. send the info to twitter according to the new api.

Any timeline for updating this? I believe it should be a very minor change to make it work, but I'm not a flash plugins programmer -- otherwise I'd offer to help.

Yes, I have also found this bug. However, I am a flash programmer, so I was able to modify the source code and recompile a swf for myself.

You have only to make a single line change to org.flowplayer.sharing.Twitter

Line 15 should be:

private static const TWITTER_URL:String = http://twitter.com/intent/tweet?text={0}&url={1}";

Thanks for sharing the new sharing URL! I have now compiled updated versions and you can find them here:
