og:video and streaming on Facebook
I'm trying to get vids to embed in Facebook and feel like I'm close but it's just not getting there. I have a JW5 Flash player, and here's my meta code, which is generated by PHP/Smarty:
<meta property="og:type" content="movie"/>
<meta property="og:video" content="https://www.chicagomag.com/theme_overrides/Respond/js/jwplayer/player.swf?file=http://media.chicagomag.com/videos/restaurants/restaurant-elizabeth.mp4&autostart=true">
<meta property="og:video:height" content="290" />
<meta property="og:video:width" content="480" />
<meta property="og:video:type" content="application/x-shockwave-flash" />
But when I check via Facebook lint, Facebook seems to choke on the querystring.
{
"url": "https:\/\/www.chicagomag.com\/theme_overrides\/Respond\/js\/jwplayer\/player.swf?file=http\u00253A\u00252F\u00252Fmedia.chicagomag.com\u00252Fvideos\u00252Frestaurants\u00252Frestaurant-elizabeth.mp4&autostart=true",
"type": "application\/x-shockwave-flash",
"width": 480,
"height": 290
}
Should I be encoding the filename somehow?
