hello, i have a couple pre-purchase questions. 1) do i need to place a code on the site every time i want to go live, or can i place a single code and any time i go live it will populate where i placed the code? 2) can i adjust the width and height of the video, or just the width? 3) do we have the ability to categorize each video using the default wordpress post category system? 4) once the live video is done, do we have the ability to automatically have the video become a post in a post/blog section on the website? thanks!
Hi there,
1) You have to place the code once and the video will come whenever you go live. 2) You can adjust only width. height is based on aspect ratio of the video. The videos display in responsive manner and will shrink on smaller screens below the specified width automatically. 3 & 4) The videos are not saved in WordPress. However, there is ability to create Shortcode to display previous live videos.
Thanks.
sounds great, thanks for the quick reply.
Can this plugin support Streaming through devices such as “Mevo”? (https://getmevo.com/) If so, please let me know and we can troubleshoot an issue I am having. Thanks!
Hi there,
The plugin does not depend on the method being used to create the FB live stream. If you are live on your page/account/group, the plugin should detect it and work as expected. It does not matter which application or method you use to create your live stream.
If you are having problems, please contact via email and provide details.
Thanks.
Thanks! I just sent an email to support@sleekalgo.com
Hi, I have installed plugin and it is great. I was just wondering if you were planning any way of categorising or choosing videos that show with a specific shortcode or tagged in a certain way? For example I have some videos that shows winners and others that show competition draws. I would like to show just the winners videos if possible?
Hi there,
Thank you very much for contacting us.
This feature is already in our To Do list and will be added in the future updates.
How do I show the title of the video on mobile?
Hi there,
Showing the video description is currently available for desktop only. We are adding this in our To Do list for future updates.
Thanks.
Invalid Scopes: user_videos, manage_pages. This message is only shown to developers. Users of your app will ignore these permissions if present. Please read the documentation for valid permissions at: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/facebook-login/permissions
Hi there,
Thank you very much for contacting us.
Due to new Facebook data policy, please take care of the following and the error will go:
- The Facebook app being used must be in Development Mode (not live).
- The user who logs in on the settings page must be an admin/developer of the Facebook app.
- The user can only create embed codes for Facebook Pages he/she owns.
- The user can only create embed codes for Facebook groups he/she is an admin of.
I followed the instructions in the documentation but is not completing the Facebook login.
HI there,
Thank you very much for contacting us.
Can you tell more about the problem you are facing? What error message are you getting?
In the settings, when I click the “Log In to Facebook” button, a pop-up window opens and the error message appears: “Invalid Scopes: user_videos, manage_pages. This message is only shown to developers. Users of your app will ignore these permissions if present. Please read the documentation for valid permissions at: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/facebook-login/permissions"
- The Facebook app being used must be in Development Mode (not live).
- The user who logs in on the settings page must be an admin/developer of the Facebook app.
- The user can only create embed codes for Facebook Pages he/she owns.
- The user can only create embed codes for Facebook groups he/she is an admin of.
Is app review necessary? What permissions should be requested?
No. If you follow the installation guide step by step, there is no need to get your Facebook app reviewed.
prepurchase question here,
So I have a buddypress installation that allows my members to add youtube and twitch live streams and videos directly to their BP profiles, and i want to use similar embed for facebook live videos. I am sure this plugin is exactly what i need for the backend, but i have worries about your status update that facebook only allows the API to pull videos OWNED by the API APP Owner? I want to be able to let my users define a facebook username in an xprofile field then can the live video/video feed page like the following:
function buddydev_custom_user_youtube_channel_shortcode( $atts = array(), $content = '' ) {
$atts = shortcode_atts( array(
'user_id' => bp_displayed_user_id(),
'field' => 'Youtube Username',
), $atts );
$ytchannel_name = xprofile_get_field_data( $atts['field'], $atts['user_id'] );
if ( empty( $ytchannel_name ) ) {
return $content;
}
ob_start();
?>
<div class="wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-6">
<?php echo do_shortcode( '[yotuwp type="username" id="' . $ytchannel_name . '"]' ); ?>
</div>
<?php
return ob_get_clean();
}
add_shortcode( 'user_youtube_channel', 'buddydev_custom_user_youtube_channel_shortcode' );
I know this function isnt written for your plugin, ill have to make another one to utilize yours, but the concept is the same regardless.
Actually the purpose of the plugin is for the website owners to integrate their Facebook account/page/group with their website. It does not work like how you need it. Thanks for your interest though.
I keep receiving the error : Error: (#4) Application request limit reached after just about an hour or less of using this app. How can i fix this? Is there any work around?
Hi there,
We have replied to your email.
We need more information and WP Admin access to your website.
Please provide via email.
Thanks.
Question: How do I made the video SOUND ON by default. Right now it is all on mute.
This is default behaviour of Facebook embedded videos that they start playing mute. However, it is possible to control it using Facebook API. Adding configuration option of initial sound volume is already in our list for future updates.
All good.
Hi there,
Thank you very much for contacting us.
Facebook is enforcing use of HTTPS for all Facebook Login apps. They have set this setting ON by default for all the apps created in March 2018 and later.
This means that having SSL enabled, is a requirement for Facebook login to work on your website. We have mentioned it as one of the hosting requirements on the plugin page as well.
You can use any free or paid service to get your website SSL secured.
all good
- The Facebook app being used must be in Development Mode (not live).
- The user who logs in on the settings page must be an admin/developer of the Facebook app.
- The user can only create embed codes for Facebook Pages he/she owns.
- The user can only create embed codes for Facebook groups he/she is an admin of.
Do I need to create a new embed code using this plugin for each Live video? Or can I just create one embed code and then that code will always play whatever video is currently live on my Facebook page?
You have to create only one embed code for Currently live video and then that embed code will always display your live video whenever you go live on your facebook page. You can also set HTML or previous live videos to display when the facebook page is not currently live. The plugin also offers setting up a site wide notification bar which will display throughout your website whenever you go live on Facebook.
I keep facing errors when clicking the login button on the FB auto embed settings:
“The saved user access token is no longer valid.”
Invalid Scopes: user_managed_groups. This message is only shown to developers. Users of your app will ignore these permissions if present. Please read the documentation for valid permissions at: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/facebook-login/permissions
How am I be able to fix this?? I am logged in as an admin on the developer apps, logged in also as an administrator on an FB page.
What am I suppose to do to make it working again?
Hi there,
Thank you very much for contacting us.
This issue has been fixed in the latest update. Please download the latest version i.e. 2.5.1.
alright. thank you. upon updating the plugin, it worked. thanks alot. btw, is there a way to have a fullscreen mode button when streaming?
also can I be able to stream using my facebook user account??
Yes you can use your Facebook User Account. Fullscreen mode is available for Recent Videos and Uploaded videos only.
Why is fullscreen mode is not available for live videos? is it possible that this feature will be available soon?
Facebook didn’t allow full screen option for Live videos previously. We will check if it is available now for live videos and implement it in the next update.
i tried embedding videos manually using thef fb developers tool and i think there is a fullscreen feature there and it is clickable. kindly update me through email if this feature will be included in your next update. 
Did you embed a currently live video? Because this option is already there for Recorded and Uploaded videos. If it is now available for Live videos as well, we will implement it in the next update which is due this month.
yes i embedded a currently live video and it has a fullscreen mode.
also, is there a possible way that this auto embed will work in mobile browser as well?
Okay. Thank you very much. We will add the full screen functionality in the next update. I will add a comment on this thread and also CodeCanyon will send you an email about the new update.
Regarding the mobile browsers, uploaded and recently live videos do play on mobile browsers but the currently live ones are forced to go to Facebook app. This is a limitation on Facebook’s part. Facebook has forced the embedded live videos on mobiles to open the Facebook app. This is true for any embedded Facebook live video whether embedded by plugin or manually.
Thanks for your feedback. looking forward on your next update
There is a new problem again on your plugin. Please check screenshot.
I keep getting this: https://pasteboard.co/HBZJbry.jpgi dont know how to fix that through facebook! Please fix this problem asap!
Hi there,
This issue has been fixed in the latest update i.e. 2.5.1
Thanks.
I am getting a lot of video can’t be embedded messages from Facebook all of a sudden. Some of the videos were working but now they are just black with that message.
Hi there,
Please contact us via email with details of your website and Facebook page. This error usually occurs when the videos are not publicly available.
I have a closed Facebook group, that only members can access. I am admin and I have created an embed code for both live and recorded videos, but the website does not show any of the videos. The facebook app has been correctly created, the app id & secret entered, the site has authenticated with Facebook. How can we get the live videos and recorded videos to show?
Hi there,
Facebook will never embed videos of a closed group on a public website.
That’s why we have made it clear in the plugin description that it works for Public Facebook groups only.
When you put a video in a closed Facebook group, Facebook will make sure nobody other than the group members can watch it.
So this does not seem possible at the moment.
hello
would this plugin work for multi vendors to use?
Hi
If you mean Wordpress multisite then the plugin works flawlessly with WP multisite.
i not autentication facebook
