Video source is incorrect

[coolcontent]

Currently the video src is wrong, it uses the permalink_url. So you can't play the video, the player shows: "Kein Video mit unterstützem Format und MIME-Typ gefunden."

I checked the Graph API Explorer from facebook for developers and found the correct source which is working (the video can be played). It is "source" instead of permalink_url:

{
  "videos": {
    "data": [
      {
        "source": "https://video.xx.fbcdn.net/v...."
      }
     ]
  }
}

The permalink_url is correct for the link to the Facebook Video.
So only the video src='' is needed to be changed to source.

Thx for your hint, but the permalink_url isn't used. If the post is of type video, the code checks that the "source" node isn't empty, else the "link" node is used.

Maybe I'm wrong, but according to the Graph API Explorer the link node only gives the link to the facebook page. permalink_url gives the url to the video page in facebook, source is the direct link to the video.
I've tested the node "videos" => sub node "source" in data[] should be the correct one.
When I click on a link of the sub node "source" it shows me the video, no matter how old it is.

Hm it looks like the video node is not submitted if i open the page url in browser and not in the Graph API Explorer: Please see this link

Ok, I understand that you can't use "videos" => "source" because you don't have the possibility to add the node "videos" instead of the node "link" when the media is a video. Instead you always use the "link" node. Right?

Is there another possibility to make the videos running? I can't get them running with your tool (latest version 0.9.59) on Contao 4.5.8:

It runs with the link from "source", see this screenshot:

The problem depends on the API Changes in April. I found this in the docs:

As of April 30, 2018, the source field for /page/feed and /page/posts will no longer be returned for Page-owned videos unless the User making the request has a role on the owning Page.

Our Tool is now in the facebook review process and we're waiting for response.

Something like this may work:
$requestVideoSource = $fb->request('GET', '/me/videos?fields=source');

At least you can get all source links via curl - e.g.
curl -i -X GET "https://graph.facebook.com/v2.12/me/videos?fields=source&access_token={your-access-token}"
