I am trying to find or create a function in JW Player that restricts users from viewing the video if they didn't liked a page.
There are many scripts like this for youtube and vimeo but not a single one for jw player.
Did someone had any success with this?
Thanks,

I need a list of videos uploaded via share dialogue by the user using my app. I can't see any app-specific data added to the video in graph API, however, uploaded videos on Facebook does have the tag of my app when they get added to the feed. I want to track videos uploaded by the user using my app's share dialogue. Can anyone point me in the right direction to achieve this?
This is not a supported feature by the Facebook API. So there is no way to get this done without help from the Facebook team.
We're trying to have users share 'articles' on a simple website into their timelines. Each article is associated with a video and we would like to use that video in the representation of the article in a users timeline. Now, I've read that linking to an mp4 via open graph meta tags isn't possible anymore. So I presume I should be using the graph api.
Could someone confirm that this is true?
And if so can you give a quick run down of the necessary steps achieve this?
Thanks
We have a request from someone on our internal team to send a monthly report of play count for a set of videos that we have grouped in an album.
I think this is something we're going to be asked to do for several different groups so I was hoping to write a program that would handle this for me.
Glancing through the Vimeo API, I didn't see anything relating to pulling up analytic or usage data.
Am I missing something obvious? Or is that capability just not there?
Thanks for your help!
In the new api (developer.vimeo.com/api) play stats are included in each clip response.
So if you made an HTTP GET request to /me/albums/[album_id]/videos, you should be able to loop through the videos (and through multiple pages if necessary) and pull out the play data.
We don't expose much more than the play data yet, but there will soon be Advanced Stats exposed through the API, just like on site.
Here's the scenario I'm seeing -
You click to post a sound from SoundCloud to Facebook
It embeds a player in the post that can either be clicked on to take you to the original item on SoundCloud OR you can click a Play icon to play the sound right in your feed.
The player is a Javascript/HTML5 player (which you can see by viewing source) HOWEVER if you take the embedded URL and put it in the Facebook open graph debugger you'll see that it appears to be directing to embed a Flash SWF
How is SoundCloud doing, what appears to be, some kind of redirect trick to get a "og:video" SWF to turn into a JS/HTML5 player?
I notice that there is an "og:type" of "soundcloud:sound" so is it some kind of whitelist/Facebook application scenario?
Try it yourself with this:
OG debug: https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/og/object?q=https%3A%2F%2Fsoundcloud.com%2Fsystek_music%2Fcyberoptics-sub-antix-the%3Futm_source%3Dsoundcloud%26utm_campaign%3Dshare%26utm_medium%3Dfacebook
I did find this bit of info from the SoundCloud site about how they've switched to JS players (that fall back to Flash on older browsers): http://help.soundcloud.com/customer/portal/articles/1219149-where-has-the-flash-widget-gone-
This may only be a partial answer. But there exists a special Facebook Open Graph Music program which "is only available to whitelisted partners at this time". This includes a bridge which has the goal to "enable play buttons on feed stories on Facebook.com that can play and pause tracks and indicate which is playing."
However, apparently you can include both Flash (application/x-shockwave-flash) and HTML5 video (video/mp4) formats in the og:video:type property.
In my app the user can record an audio file (say of their child's first word). Is there a way for them to post this on Facebook so that only the people they want to hear it can (privacy settings). I mean I don't think the user would want to post it on a sight where anyone and everyone could hear it and then link this their facebook page. I have looked around a lot and I see the possibility of Open Graph (which I use to upload a videos from my app) but since there is no direct upload to facebook of audio as I understand it. Each user would have to upload the audio to something like SoundCloud and then link this to Facebook. I'm not sure SoundCloud is the place for these types of recording. Does anyone have a better Idea.
Thanks a bunch.
You can upload the sound to SoundCloud and keep it private. You will then get a "secret link" to the file which you can post to your friends on Facebook.
Make a video with no video (black screen) and just audio, and upload it to facebook as video
