Facebook and Vimeo not working

  • Hey, great plugin!

    When I go to Debugging > Test Video Providers, Vimeo comes up with the following error:

    AJAX Error: 500 Internal Server Error

    Facebook also fails on both iframe and flash. Do you know what could be going wrong?

    WordPress Version 4.0
    Video Thumbnails Version 2.10.2
    Video Thumbnails Settings Version 2.10.2
    PHP Version 5.4.34
    Post Thumbnails ? Your theme supports post thumbnails.
    Video Providers 19: YouTube, Vimeo, Facebook, Vine, Blip, Dailymotion, Metacafe, VK, Funny or Die, MPORA, Wistia, Youku, Tudou, CollegeHumor, Rutube, SAPO, TED, Twitch, Google Drive

    Thanks!

    Hi! Is Vimeo the only provider giving a 500 error? What errors are you receiving for Facebook?

    Hello. Facebook passes the test in debugging, but when I try to share my posts containing embedded Facebook videos, I get no thumbnail on Facebook or Google+. Am I missing something? Please advise.

    Example: https://thesunsetkid.stompandcrush.com/snoop-dogg-g-unit-discuss-current-state-of-rap/

    It does work with facebook you just have to embed your videos the correct way.

    First, get the video ID of your clip, then use this format to post it (in the text window) and the plugin will grab the thumbnail:

    <div class="fb-video" data-allowfullscreen="true" data-href="https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=1132645760098914"></div>

    Make sure you replace the v=1132645760098914 with the ID of your own video.

    Hope that helps!
