Maximum Number of Videos (0)

Seems you found a little bug there. ??

Download and install the current DEV version from https://downloads.www.ads-software.com/plugin/nextgen-facebook.zip, and let me know if that fixes things for you.

Thanks,

js.

Perfect, its working ?? Thanx for a lightning fast response!

Eeem one more thing. It stays switched, thats cool. However when I post a link to Facebook, a link to a page that has some pictures and text and a YT video on it, FB will always preload the video on the wall. Meaning people are immediatelly able to watch the video from the post and I dont want them to watch it on FB, I want them to go to my site read look and than maby watch the video.

Is this even possible? I thought it is Open Graph working too good ?? But it might be FB. Any Idea?

Yeah, I’m not too fond of that behavior either. NGFB can only put information in the Open Graph headers — Facebook decides what to do with it. In the case of videos, it embeds the video instead of linking it to the source webpage.

There are two possible “solutions” (I’ll have to out this in the FAQ):

– Turn off videos completely by setting “Maximum Number of Videos” to “0”.

– Un-check the og:video og:video:width and og:video:height tags. This will leave the video preview image, but leave out the URL that Facebook uses to embed the video.

js.

If this is what you mean, I figured that out some time ago: https://awesomescreenshot.com/0941a4fr4f however, doesnt help :-/

I’ve noticed that the Facebook scraper can be “greedy” at times — gets more information from the webpage than what’s in the Open Graph headers. My guess is that if it detects a problem with the Open Graph headers, it goes into “second gear” and scrapes the webpage itself.

Do you have a URL to an example problem page?

js.

Well this is the URL I am fighting with. Its a blog of a friend of mine: https://thejsfworld.com/we-all-beautifull/

According to what you sayed I reactivated the meta tags with a 0 on videos so FB does not think there is anything broken… However that did not help either :-/ I believe it is Facebook…

JUST SOLVED IT!

This plugin I am using for YT videos must have overcome yours: https://www.embedplus.com/ and pushed the video up on FB.

Now I simply added the video to YT using html embed code and it all works out ??

Hope this will help to someone sometime ??

Cool.

BTW, for some reason, NGFB is showing duplicate images in the Open Graph header:

<!-- og:image:1 --><meta property="og:image" content="https://thejsfworld.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/385314_10152459786150164_1683174433_n-550x550.jpg" />

Any chance you could turn on NGFB’s debug mode (bottom of settings page) so I could determine why? ??

Thanks,

js.

You got it ??

Add Hidden Debug Info is ON

Thanks,

F

Thanks – I saved the info to have a look at it later (second coffee). ??

You can turn off debug mode.

Thanks,

js.

No problem, loved to help!

I made lots of small changes here and there to improve duplicate checks between the various class methods. You can download the latest DEV version from https://downloads.www.ads-software.com/plugin/nextgen-facebook.zip.

That’ll get rid of that duplicate image in the OG header. ??

js.

Hey… now this is great! Look at this url pls: https://thejsfworld.com/second-week-of-my-espria-challenge/ from same blog, same things and yet FB ignores EVERYTHING ??

This is really strange… It is the new version you posted. Other posts work but this one…

Any ideas?

There’s no NGFB info on that page at all. Might be worth turning on debug mode.
