- Includes a specially designed flash MP3 player for sharing audio to Facebook. The player has a background that can be customized with your own site logo, and if clicked on brings the visitor to the audio detail page. - See more at: https://www.jamroom.net/the-jamroom-network/networkmarket/105/share-this#sthash.2yc2jhKr.dpuf


I read that it has a flash mp3 player but I do not see that on my website and I have this module. Any ideas ?

The flash player will be for use on facebook because facebook doesn't allow embedding of html5 players into the timeline.

Facebook requires that your site be running over SSL in order for the embedded media player to work - I'll be updating the module to day to auto detect and explain that.

Hope this helps!

Hey Brian I have SSL and it seems the link on fb just links to the website. I do not see any player anywhere.

What is the URL to the page with the player on it that you are trying to share?

Thanks!

You don't have the player active in your quotas. Go into the ACP -> Users -> Share This and click on the "Quota Config" tab. Put a checkmark in the "Apply to All Quotas" and a checkmark in the "Allow Facebook Player" and save.

Reset caches then reload your page you have linked to. When you do a "View source" you should see all the Open Graph tags in the header section. Those are not there right now, which is why it is not working.

You can upload your own background player image in the "images" tab for the module.

What browser are you using to test the player in? I've not seen any issues on FF, Safari, Chrome or IE.

Hope this helps!

It doesnt work for any of those browsers. I just tested it. It looks like the play button has been hit but no music. Did my link work for you ?

I believe Facebook has reverted to the same issue we saw a few weeks back where it's just showing the image and not the player - they won't confirm that (they never do) but last time it took about 2 weeks before their fix rolled out, so let's hope they fix it quickly.

I just did some tests here, and it looks like Facebook has changed how their backend "loads" a media item - add this domain:

fbsbx.com

to your Core -> Global Config -> Allowed Domains config and save.

Let me know if that works for you.

Hope this helps!

There's no image for that audio entry - try adding an image and see if that helps, as the image goes through a special facebook script, and it could be detecting that there is no image.
