The following are the tags I am trying to use:

<div class="JFBC-Config">{SCOpenGraph site_name=9/11 Truth Action Project}</div>

What I am trying to do is get Facebook to recognize the video and grab the poster image and make a video of it on users Facebook pages.

I am getting this error from Facebook Developers Sharing Debugger:

  • There was an error in fetching the object at URL 'videos-f.jwpsrv.com/content/conversions/...3560ff048063c1c9caba', or one of the the URLs specified via a redirect or the 'og:url' property including one of content.jwplatform.com/videos/ENno7di6-NeeKXyma.mp4.
    • I am also getting the following warning:

  • The 'og:image' property should be explicitly provided, even if a value can be inferred from other tags.

    • The Canonical URL is:

  • videos-f.jwpsrv.com/content/conversions/...3560ff048063c1c9caba

    • If I use the Canonical URL, I get the following warnings:

  • Inferred Property - The 'og:url' property should be explicitly provided, even if a value can be inferred from other tags.
    Inferred Property - The 'og:title' property should be explicitly provided, even if a value can be inferred from other tags.
    Share App ID Missing - The 'fb:app_id' property should be explicitly provided, Specify the app ID so that stories shared to Facebook will be properly attributed to the app. Alternatively, app_id can be set in url when open the share dialog.
    Inferred Property - The 'og:image' property should be explicitly provided, even if a value can be inferred from other tags.
    • Do I need to add the path of JWPlayer to the Crossdomain.xml file?

    This is the l;ink to the page" www.911tap.org/tap-media/tap-videos

    I found his caveat on JWPlayer's website

    JW Player no longer supports in-feed video playback on Facebook. However, you may be able to use OG tags to have the mp4 play in-line on desktop => qa.jwplayer.com/~abussey/demos/general/share-facebook-og.html

    This refers to in-feed and not posting video to someone's Facebook or Twitter account

    The og:url tag should be the location of your page, not of the video itself. On the page you linked to, the og:url tag is:
    <meta property="og:url" content="http://videos-f.jwpsrv.com/content/conversions/TGLbnvVt/videos/ENno7di6-3310268.mp4?token=0_58f6c621_0x1e5817e5ef776f1be48c3560ff048063c1c9caba"/>
    That URL doesn't work if I try to go directly to it, so I'm not surprised Facebook is throwing complaints. Are you sure you aren't looking to use something like the video:url tag (I think that's a real one, but you'll need to investigate).

    Thanks,
    Alex

    Whatever gets a video posted to the users Facebook page.

    If you try the link

    content.jwplatform.com/players/ENno7di6-A4cZR76S.html

    you will see it works, and this is the way I think I can get the software to generate the correct meta-tag.

    Perhaps something like this:
    <div class="JFBC-Config">{SCOpenGraph video:url=http://content.jwplatform.com/players/ENno7di6-A4cZR76S.html}</div>

    The og:video (and the equivalent og:video:url) should point to the video file. The og:url should point to the page that the video is on. Additionally, according to FB docs , the width and height are required. You should also specify the type.

    That page has the following tags set:
    <meta property="og:url" content="https://content.jwplatform.com/previews/ENno7di6-A4cZR76S">
<meta property="og:video" content="http://content.jwplatform.com/videos/ENno7di6-dK2yRaez.mp4">
<meta property="og:video:secure_url" content="https://content.jwplatform.com/videos/ENno7di6-dK2yRaez.mp4">
<meta property="og:video:type" content="video/mp4">
<meta property="og:video:width" content="320">
<meta property="og:video:height" content="260">

    The equivalent use with the SCOpenGraph easy-tags would be:
    <div class="JFBC-Config">
{SCOpenGraph url=https://content.jwplatform.com/previews/ENno7di6-A4cZR76S}
{SCOpenGraph video:url=http://content.jwplatform.com/videos/ENno7di6-dK2yRaez.mp4}
{SCOpenGraph video:type=video/mp4}
etc...
</div>
