[Forum] Facebook Video Embed Stopped working since yesterday

[adeel786]

Hi,

It isn't embedding since yesterday. I checked many other forums and it is the same case. Nothing shows up, just a white space. Can someone kindly help resolve this.

Seems to be working fine here.

Seems to be working fine here.

Youtube, Dailymotion, vimeo and metacafe are all working fine. It's only Facebook videos and I'm on VB 4. Kindly check

Try embedding this video on VB 4. It isn't working anywhere

Looks like facebook has changed something. The XML file likely just needs to be updated with the new code. I'll see what I can do.

Thank you. I really appreciate it. Looking forward to see your response.

You need to update the template bbcode_video in your style manager.

Find the code (near the bottom):

<object class="restrain" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="576" height="432" data="//www.facebook.com/v/{vb:raw code}">
<param name="movie" value="//www.facebook.com/v/{vb:raw code}" />
<param name="wmode" value="{vb:raw wmode}" />
<!--[if IE 6]>
<embed width="576" height="432" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="//www.facebook.com/v/{vb:raw code}" />
<![endif]--></object>

replace it with

<iframe src="https://www.facebook.com/video/embed?video_id={vb:raw code}" width="720" height="450" frameborder="0"></iframe>

You can make the width and height smaller if you feel that is too big for your forum.

Save the template changes and it should work again.

I'll enter it into JIRA for VB4 and VB5.

it didn't work for me. Did you test it on a forum?

Did you change the template of the style you are using?

Yes, I tested it on 2 forums in fact. Do you use any type of caching system- you may have to refresh/reset the cache. Make a new post with the video to really be sure.

Thanks Very much. That was indeed the case.
