Video bbcode for Facebook video needed to be changed

[ljianyih]

I've checked the video bbcode for Facebook video and it uses the old "http://www.facebook.com/v/VIDEOID" format (the embedding should be http://www.facebook.com/video/embed?video_id=VIDEOID).

I've tried to use the old format which is "http://www.facebook.com/v/VIDEOID" wrapped with video bbcode, but the content went to a mess.

Just to notify this problem and hope this issue can be fixed soon.

Can you paste in an example of a video URL that isn't working? A random one I found above seems to work.

Testing embedding a facebook video:

https://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=[COLOR=#262D35][FONT=Arial][SIZE=12px]128151914032540[/SIZE][/FONT][/COLOR]

Ya it output the error just as shown above.

The video url i've tested are:
- https://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=128151914032540
- http://www.facebook.com/v/128151914032540

Testing using another facebook video id (http://www.facebook.com/v/3869227628746):

Testing using the default Facebook video embed url (http://www.facebook.com/video/embed?...869227628746):

http://www.facebook.com/video/embed?video_id=3869227628746

Testing using another Facebook video url (https://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=3869227628746):

I've tested using https://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=VIDEOID and it did work sometimes. Retest:

(https://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=3869227628746):
https://[COLOR=#262D35][FONT=Arial][...;3869227628746

(https://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=3869234948929)
https://[COLOR=#262D35][FONT=Arial][...;3869234948929

(same again https://www.facebook.com/video/video...=3869234948929)

I think it has something to do with the url parsing, take note on the font size after you've clicked the "edit" button (same url but 2nd line has bigger font size than 1st one).

[video][COLOR=#262D35][FONT=Arial][SIZE=12px]https://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=[/SIZE][/FONT][/COLOR]3869234948929[/video]
[video=facebook;3869234948929]https://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=3869234948929[/video]

The one with the larger font size works and the provider will be automatically determined as Facebook with the vcode automatically fetched into the video tag (parsed successfully).

(I'm not sure how to get the smaller font size or the larger font size url text)

I think it's the problem with text encoding.

Hello everyone.
I'm using 5.1.10 version for now and I can't play facebook videos with video-tag. For example:

http://www.facebook.com/info.vz/videos/599896100160662/

[IncWolf]

I'm sorry, that I up that topic again, but that question is very important for me. And, will the video-tag insert video from coub?

[Mark.B]

It's https in the URL. It works if you put it in as http.
This is the report for it:

[IncWolf]

Mark.B yeah, but still that's not work with facebook video, as you can see in the previous message.

[josueinaki]

where is the definitions of bbcode? ( i mean, in templates)

[IncWolf]

I just find how to solve that problem until it will be fixed.

In core/includes/xml/bbcode_video_vbulletin.xml change regex_url in facebook-block of code to:

[COLOR=#000000][FONT=Menlo]<[/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=#000080][FONT=Menlo][B]url[/B][/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=#000000][FONT=Menlo]>[/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=#000000][FONT=Menlo]http://www.facebook.com[/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=#000000][FONT=Menlo]</[/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=#000080][FONT=Menlo][B]url[/B][/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=#000000][FONT=Menlo]>[/FONT][/COLOR]
[COLOR=#000000][FONT=Menlo]<[/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=#000080][FONT=Menlo][B]regex_url[/B][/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=#000000][FONT=Menlo]>[/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=#000000][FONT=Menlo]<![CDATA[[/FONT][/COLOR][B]https?:\/\/[/B][B][COLOR=#000000][FONT=Menlo](?:www\.)?[/FONT][/COLOR][/B][B]facebook\.com\/[a-zA-Z0-9.]+\/videos\/([0-9]+)[/B][COLOR=#000000][FONT=Menlo]]]>[/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=#000000][FONT=Menlo]</[/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=#000080][FONT=Menlo][B]regex_url[/B][/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=#000000][FONT=Menlo]>[/FONT][/COLOR]

and for vimeo-video to:

[COLOR=#000000][FONT=Menlo]<[/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=#000080][FONT=Menlo][B]url[/B][/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=#000000][FONT=Menlo]>[/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=#000000][FONT=Menlo]http://www.vimeo.com[/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=#000000][FONT=Menlo]</[/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=#000080][FONT=Menlo][B]url[/B][/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=#000000][FONT=Menlo]>[/FONT][/COLOR]
[COLOR=#000000][FONT=Menlo]<[/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=#000080][FONT=Menlo][B]regex_url[/B][/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=#000000][FONT=Menlo]>[/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=#000000][FONT=Menlo]<![CDATA[http[B]s?[/B]:\/\/(?:www\.)?vimeo\.com\/([0-9]+)]]>[/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=#000000][FONT=Menlo]</[/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=#000080][FONT=Menlo][B]regex_url[/B][/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=#000000][FONT=Menlo]>[/FONT][/COLOR]

The same changes need to be done in the database in the bbcode_video table for the regex_url field
