Any idea?

I was testing version 3.2.3 and pseudo streaming plug-in for byte range seeking. We have IIS 7.0 which supports byte range requests.
But, after setting up an example as described here HTTP streaming with byte-range requests, I was unable to seek.

After monitoring HTTP terrific, I don't see any extra header for byte-range request when I click on timeline.

'Demo 1' example has same behavior. It seems seek is only working using module installed on server by passing start parameter e.g. /vod/demo.flowplayer/Extremists.flv?start=6205081 in query string.

Isn't this supposed to work by sending a byte-range request like Range: bytes=25600-26850 or I'm missing something?

-- Thanks

Alright, it was indeed url-escape issue with video_src element in case of 3.2.2.

Thanks a lot.

Ok, I've tried with simplest config file same for both 3.2.2 and 3.1.5, only, later one works still.

(V 3.1.5): http://bainv2.zaifworks.com/video/Video3.htm

(V 3.2.2): http://bainv2.zaifworks.com/video/Video.htm

Config: http://bainv2.zaifworks.com/video/movie1.js

Anything I'm missing required for 3.2.2?

I kept looking into the problem why I was unable to embed videos from :http://bainv2.zaifworks.com/video/Video.htm

1. I downloaded JWPlayer and tried it to embed videos and it worked. All the meta tags were same other than video_src, off course. This concluded that something is off with Flowplayer since I tried again.

2. Then, I tried using flowplayer-3.1.5, and to my surprise it worked:http://bainv2.zaifworks.com/video/Video3.htm

3. I'm not exactly sure if this is the problem: I noticed that with version 3.2, Flowplayer is adding a random number in the query string each time it loads to avoid may be browser caching issue. When facebook API will parse the src, the resultant URL will be different than video_src specified initially and Facebook fails. Well, it's just my thinking.

4. Anybody else tried with 3.2?

5. @blacktrash. If we have multiple videos on a single page, how can we add unique meta tags for image_src, video_src etc for each video on the page so that Facebook picks the right video and its image for preview which user intended to share? Is this possible?

1: I got confirmation email again but didn't work out.

2: They have marked bug as Duplicate which I posted there . So, it indeed seems an issue on Facebook end.

Thanks you guys anyways.

Ok! I've requested again and logged the bug on Facebook. I'll get back on this.

Didn't work in this way either. Here is more info i pointed out.

I compared the source ofhttp://www.facebook.com/sharer.php after clicking share from our page athttp://bainv2.zaifworks.com/video/video.htm and one from other site from where I can successfully embed.

Two important points I noticed are:

1 - In our case response code is 206 : <input type="hidden" name="attachment[params][responseCode]" value="206" />, however for successful case it's 200. If this is an HTTP code then 206 means partial request succeeded.

2 - Second issue is with the 'safe' parameter : <input type="hidden" name="attachment[params][video][safe]" value="" />, In my case it's empty while for a successful case it's always 1.

Not sure what's causing this.

New location is : http://bainv2.zaifworks.com/video/Video.htm

I've modified couple of more things, but still not working. New location for page is:http://bainv2.zaifworks.com/video/Video.htm

@dewey24white: Are you using FB.connect approach ? and can you please share your sample page?

I reduced the width and height and applied double quotes. Situation is still same.
You are right about the class. As for as my understanding is Facebook is failing to recognize/parse video_src link or any other related issue.

About the approval, you will notice Facebook is loading info. from other meta tags, which concludes that site has been approved; if I'm right it will not parse, otherwise.

Thanks for your help anyway.

Yes, I'm positive about the approval, since, I received email about it.

I've made both changes but still out of luck.

Please, follow this:

I've deleted and added many times, but still no luck. :(

I've been trying to follow stianmat idea to put meta tags on page for video_src along with other meta and link tags needed, and passing configuration of a video as shown below so that Facebook can pick video. My site has been approved for Facebook whitelist already to embed video.

<link rel="video_src" href="http://mysite.com/video/Flowplayer/flowplayer-3.2.2.swf?config=http%3A//mysite.com/video/config.js" />

As I try to share video Facebook does pick image source, video description, title etc but it doesn't show a play icon.
Further more, browser plays video fine if I click on video_src href.

Anything I'm missing?
