title: Using Open Graph meta tags to play video on Facebook Timeline
body: <p>I'm trying to embed Flash audio players on the Facebook timeline using the <code>og:video</code> meta tags. It for some of the pages with tags buy not with others. Each page will have the same tags, except for a song id <code>beat_id</code> and <code>og:image</code></p>
  
  <p>For some of the URL's, you'll get a nice play button on the Facebook Timeline, when clicked the Flash player will open up on the timeline like a YouTube video, only for some URL's, it just displays a link.</p>
  
  <p>I've tried resetting the URL's using Facebook's debugger but still the same issue. Any ideas? Here are 2 URL's and their tags, one works, the other doesn't.</p>
  
  <p>Doesn't show play button, only link: <a href="http://www.myflashstore.net/share-beat/373456" rel="nofollow">http://www.myflashstore.net/share-beat/373456</a></p>

    &lt;meta name="og:video" content="http://www.myflashstore.net/flash/solo.swf?beat_id=373456&amp;autoplay=true' /&gt;" /&gt;
    &lt;meta name="og:video:height" content="100" /&gt;
    &lt;meta name="og:video:width" content="400" /&gt;
    &lt;meta name="og:video:type" content="application/x-shockwave-flash" /&gt; 
  </code></pre>

  <p><strong>EDIT 7th May 2013</strong></p>
  
  <p>It seems like it's a Facebook bug, I have reported the bug and it's been triaged by a FB engineer, waiting for the response</p>
