Very happy to hear it's working!
To add your own custom tags, there's a few options. On each video page, if there's a way with the component you're using to add a normal description that's shown to the user, simply add the following tags in that area. JFBConnect will remove them when the page is shown the user and properly insert the Open Graph tags:
{JFBCGraph title=Best Title for this Page}
{JFBCGraph description= Best description for thie page}
{JFBCGraph image=http://site.com/image.jpg}

If there isn't a place in the video component to add a description, you can add a Custom HTML module (included in Joomla) and assign them to particular menu items and add the tags (just like above) to those pages. This isn't as perfect, as it's harder to set the tags on each video, but may work for you.

Hope this helps get you started,
Alex

Alex,
When I turned on the custom html module and when I share on facebook a specific video it shows this in the title :
Better title for specific page
bgtunes.com/index.php/component/contushdvideoshare/player/302/3
Best description for this page

What are the tags you put in the custom HTML module? It appears the description and image tag are working, but the title is still not right. Obviously, make sure you're using:
{JFBCGraph title=Whatever you want the title to be}

Thanks,
Alex

I agree. That's where I was saying that it's best if you can add those tags for the video itself. I'm not familiar with the component you're using, but there's simply got to be some way, through the component or by associating each video with an article, that you can add a description for the video. In this description area, you should be able to add the tags.

Hopefully, you can find a way to do it, but if not, I'd ask the Hwdvideoshare developers on how to add a description to the video. It only makes sense that a video would have not just a title, but some brief description to describe it from a useability standpoint.

If there isn't a way to add a description easily, then you'd need to manually insert it using some PHP code to figure out the ID of the video and add it. This is definitely not easy to do or the optimal solution, but should it come to it, we can give you some pointers on how to do it.

Please let us know what you find, and good luck,
Alex

Alex, Good day!
I asked the support of contushdvideoshare if there is a chance to get those description tags to work. They said that the player does not have this feature and if I want to have it I have to pay 350$.
So, can you help me a little bit with the PHP code?
Thanks, Kiril

Sure thing. It may take a little work to get the first description going, but once you do, you can use this method to add 'real' descriptions to each video (if you want) as well as the Open Graph tags you're looking for.

Get Advanced Module Manager . It's an awesome extension which lets you really tailor on what pages modules will display. The extension is completely free, but if you use it on a commercial site, it's suggested you get a license, which we have when we use it. It helps continue development of that great extension.

So, get that and install it. Then,
1) Go to the Module Manager and create a new "Custom HTML" module.
2) In the Custom HTML area, you can set your own custom description for a video and set the Open Graph tags as mentioned before {JFBCGraph title=This Video's Title}
3) Click to open the Module Assignment parameters. In here, we're going to specify that this module should only show up on the specific video's page
4) Click into the URL section, and you can set the specific URLs that this module should show on.
You shouldn't need to set any other parameters in there.

Once this is done, if you have a description you actually want displayed to the user (not just Open Graph tags), you can set it into a normal template position that may show to the user on the page.

Hope that helps, and good luck. It's definitely more complicated than if this was built into HWDShare, and it's unfortunate that that can't be added easily, but hopefully will work for you!
