I know for twitter to work it has to be approved but when I was using 3.1 I got it to work.  Now in 3.3 I'm trying to figure out how call the information needed.  Not sure if this is the best way but here is what I am doing:

I'm adding this code to tpl.globals.php under the meta_add() funtion:  Here is what I have so far:
Code Select 
    <meta property="og:video" content="URL/TO/PLAYER.SWF?file=SOURCE">
    <meta property="og:video:type" content="application/x-shockwave-flash">
    <meta property="og:video:width" content="1920">
    <meta property="og:video:height" content="1080">

    <meta property="fb:app_id" content="FACEBOOKAPPID">

    <meta property="og:site_name" content="SITENAME/DOMAIN">
    <meta property="og:video:secure_url" content="SEC_URL/TO/PLAYER.SWF?file=SOURCE">
    <meta property="og:url" content="'.$canonical.'">
    <meta property="og:title" content="'.seo_title().'">
    <meta property="og:type" content="video">
    <meta property="og:image" content="'URLTOTHUMB">
    <meta property="og:description" content="'.seo_desc().'">


    <meta name="twitter:card" content="player">
    <meta name="twitter:site" content="@TWITTERNAME">
    <meta name="twitter:creator" content="@TWITTERNAME">
    <meta name="twitter:title" content="'.seo_title().'">
    <meta name="twitter:description" content="'.seo_desc().'">
    <meta name="twitter:image:src" content="URLTOTHUMB">
    <meta name="twitter:player" content="SEC_URL/TO/PLAYER.SWF">
    <meta name="twitter:player:stream" content="SOURCE">
    <meta name="twitter:player:stream:content_type" content="application/x-shockwave-flash">
    <meta name="twitter:player:height" content="1080">
    <meta name="twitter:player:width" content="1920">
    <meta name="twitter:domain" content="DOMAIN">
    <meta name="twitter:app:name:iphone" content="">
    <meta name="twitter:app:name:ipad" content="">
    <meta name="twitter:app:name:googleplay" content="">
    <meta name="twitter:app:url:iphone" content="">
    <meta name="twitter:app:url:ipad" content="">
    <meta name="twitter:app:url:googleplay" content="">
    <meta name="twitter:app:id:iphone" content="">
    <meta name="twitter:app:id:ipad" content="">
    <meta name="twitter:app:id:googleplay" content="">


How do I call info needed to produce (URLTOTHUMB & SOURCE from DB) so that I can add to tpl.globals.php

.. everything else I can manage!

Code Select 
global $video.

thumb_fix($video->thumb);
$video->source (you should check it with an if.

So this is what I did:

I created a folder in root called jw5.  I moved contents from phpvibe3.1 folder /components/player/ to /jw5

Created a function and added it to the bottom of /lib/functions.php (Upload when done!)
Code Select 
function fb_tw_meta($token){
global $db,$canonical;
$video = $db->get_row("SELECT source,thumb from ".DB_PREFIX."videos where id='".toDb($token)."'");
   if($video){
        $site_url = site_url();
        $sec_site_url = str_replace("http", "https",site_url());
        $thumb = $video->thumb;
	$video_source = $video->source;
        $localfile = str_replace("localfile", "", $video_source);
        $host = str_replace("www.", "",$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']);

        if (strpos($video_source,'localfile') !== false) { //local or external video

           $ext_vidurl= $site_url ."jw5/player.swf?file=".$site_url."media".$localfile."&autostart=false&logo.file=".$site_url."jw5/playerlogo.png&logo.link=".$canonical."&logo.hide=false&logo.position=bottom-left&stretching=";
           if(get_option('sec_swf_url')!==""){
              $ext_securl= get_option('sec_swf_url')."?file=".$site_url."media".$localfile."&autostart=false&logo.file=".$site_url."jw5/playerlogo.png&logo.link=".$canonical."&logo.hide=false&logo.position=bottom-left&stretching=";
              $twit_player = get_option('sec_swf_url');

              $twit_player = $sec_site_url."jw5/player.swf";
           }
           $twit_vid = $site_url."media".$localfile;

           $thumburl = $site_url."".$thumb;

go to your admin (TOOLS/OPTIONS API) and add these Options & Values:
Code Select 
OPTION -> twit_sitename	VALUE -> TWITTERNAME without '@'
OPTION -> twit_creatorname	VALUE -> TWITTERNAME without '@'
OPTION -> sec_swf_url	        VALUE -> URL to Secure SWF player ex: https://somesite.com/path/player.swf


If you leave URL to SWF blank, function will assume URL to secure player is your own domain: ex: https://yoursite.com/jw5/player.swf


I think thats it!  Now someone overlook my code and way of doing and tell me how I can improve on it!  Thanks!

Look up embedding your own player into facebook & twitter post on their websites!

I don't know a link for facebook!

I think that code is messy and unprofessional, I'll stop here :-X
Why?
You already have a $video, why re-assign so many variables and mess around the code?


Code Select 
if((com() == video) && $video && ( strpos($video_source,'localfile') !== false || !empty($video->remote))) {


// Now you know you are on the video page, you have available a video, and the video is either local video file, or remote video file


}




And I think it's pointless to try something I am already building, but as you please.

darpat, let's get one thing straight: I am here for the sole purpose of helping you getting the script working.
I'm not here to show you how to build custom stuff, if I do this, I do it cause I am passionate about my work, theoretically I should not even mind a topic like this.
I have my priorities, and a list of build-up, I won't push one faster cause you think you need it.
For example in RC2 EVERY file is changed comparing to RC1, you will ask me to help, I will help, but my build will be different, you will just upgrade to my build in days => answering will be just lost time.
I hope you understand! I am not unprofessional, I am direct and honest, if that's unprofessional to you, ok, I can accept that. You run 80 lines of code instead of 10, it feels, at least a little bit, so i am trying to help you keep it clean, even if, once again, it's not on my "have to do list".

First ... I didn't ask @MARIO directly!  I didn't ask @MARIO to push anything!  I simply asked a question to the forum members which you took upon yourself to answer.  A forum is a place to talk and share things and that is all I was doing.  I have no idea who all works on this script.  I've only read through a your script the past week or so, so I do not know all functions and variables I need or that are available.  Hence my reason for creating extra variables not needed, but to get done what I need .. also the reason I asked:

"Now someone overlook my code and way of doing and tell me how I can improve on it!  Thanks!"

I appreciate what you have done and the outcome of your work.  But to call someone unprofessional then respond unprofessional I don't appreciate.

you need a secure url for facebook to work:

Code Select 
<meta property="og:video:secure_url" content="https://path/to/player.swf?file=http://youtubeclip.com" />


I just noticed that from browsing .. not sure if you have complete meta codes or not .. check my site!

Most don't have a SSL ...
But I don't really see the point to make the video playable on Facebook, from my experience you get 0 traffic to the site when that was an option in PHPVibe, nobody leaves facebook to check the video if they can play it there, better choice it's like I did for VideosQQ, it posts real image, title, etc and you friends click and go to the video page, this way you get traffic on the site, where it matters.

Here's my simple addon in tpl.globals.php , function meta_add()
Code Select 
<meta property="og:site_name" content="'.get_option('site-logo-text').'" />
<meta property="fb:app_id" content="'.Fb_Key.'">
<meta property="og:url" content="'.canonical().'" />
';
if(com() == video) {
global $video;
$meta .= '
<meta property="og:image" content="'.thumb_fix($video->thumb).'" />
<meta property="og:description" content="'.seo_desc().'"/>
<meta property="og:title" content="'._html($video->title).'" />';
}



just before




Code Select 
return $meta;



Note: in RC1 there is no _html function, but RC2 is releasing today, how ever you can use instead


Code Select 
stripslashes(html_entity_decode($video->title))

But I don't really see the point to make the video playable on Facebook, from my experience you get 0 traffic to the site when that was an option in PHPVibe, nobody leaves facebook to check the video if they can play it there, better choice it's like I did for VideosQQ, it posts real image, title, etc and you friends click and go to the video page, this way you get traffic on the site, where it matters.
