hm, i wonder what it could be. can i have a look at the settings you’re using (screenshot of the advanced settings)?

also can you enable the debug-mode (you’ll have to edit the plugin file), then load a page and take a look at output in the html source?

1. is the trigger for youtube enabled? in some rare cases, the plugin will launch with no settings enable. in this case, it’s recommended to use the “restore default settings” at the bottom of the settings page

2. have you previously posted the same video on facebook? could the page be cached without thumbnail?

3. does the thumbnail show up in the source-code?

i’d probably more understanding for a (new?) plugin that integrates all the features of social and twitter tools, with add-ins for each of the features

there actually was a bug displaying updated settings after installing or resetting the plugin. this should be fixed in the latest version!

i can’t confirm this for a naked wordpress installation. please state the following

* wordpress version
* wordpress permissions
* mysql version
* php version

i thought once you knew what the plugin does, the settings are pretty self-explanatory? if you don’t know what it does, i’d start with the faq or ask a straight question.

i did some research and came across this

Custom video player on Facebook (+working example)

this seems to work and is easy to implement (to ographr as well), however i’m not sure if this will work with (all) video platforms. gonna play around with this for sure!

also take note of these links:
How to embed my own video player in Facebook?
How to do a Facebook Video Embed Whitelist Request?

ok, of course i couldn’t resist but doing a quick test. this is the embed code i used.

<iframe src=”https://blip.tv/play/AYL3vUUC.html?p=1&#8243; width=”480″ height=”300″ frameborder=”0″ allowfullscreen></iframe><embed type=”application/x-shockwave-flash” src=”https://a.blip.tv/api.swf#AYL3vUUC&#8221; style=”display:none”></embed>

the plugin successfully retrieved the thumbnail-url for the video

there’s currently no support for og:video tags, but it sounds like something i might wanna add in future. will look into it on tuesday!

thanks rickrey, will take a look once i get home on tuesday!

for a working example, try this shortcode

[soundcloud url="https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/45591322" params="auto_play=false&show_artwork=false" width="100%" height="166" iframe="true" /]

any chance we can try and work this out on chat towards mid-week?

since when is that, i thought you only had a problem saving settings?

let me know if the new version works for you, it had some issues for new users

have a look at the source of the page and look for og:image. if that’s there, the plugin found an image from some embedded player in your post. some soundcloud players simply don’t have any artworks supplied, so don’t let that fool you. also, bandcamp and viddler both need a valid api key.

if you (or anybody else) previously submitted (or liked) the same url, facebook might still use a cached result and not show an image. the cache usually expires after some weeks. you can cheat facebook by using an url shortener or by adding some slashes at the end of your url. the best indication is looking for og:image in the source!

could you try this version and tell me what happens?
