Hello,

kollegekidd.com/dev/index.php/cnv/2452-kumar/video/3702-ss-test

Please click on "Share this" link and click on Facebook. It shows different video thumbnail. It should show same thumbnail of video which is shared.

Hi Parth,

When you share a link on facebook, facebook automatically picks out the thumbnails and text content to be shown with the link once you have posted it. The issue is that sometimes facebook shows old/outdated content which at first looks like an issue with our system. It turns out that this is a known issue with facebook and is very easy to fix.

All you have to do is open the following link and past the URL you are trying to share into the text area. This will refresh facebooks 'cache' and make it so that it pulls the correct photos and content the next time you try to share the link:

developers.facebook.com/tools/debug

Regards,
Albert

Hi Albertus,

Thanks for your reply.

Means on this link developers.facebook.com/tools/debug I need to check my link. But every time its not possible to do this.

When any user try to share and sees wrong thumbnail then he will think that its showing wrong thumbnail which I am thinking now.
So what is the permanent fix for this ?

Sometimes it shows correct thumbnails but sometimes not.

What to do for this ? How can we trust that it will always work ?

Hi Parth,

Sorry for this inconvenience, because this is we can't control it (depend on Facebook it self). I can't give you definite solution.
if you click Facebook share, that part already totally handle by Facebook it self.

We always maintained our code also, please wait our 3.2 version. A lot improvement there.

Regards,
Albert

Hi,

This video was working fine, was showing proper thumbnail but now its showing 2-3 thumbnails, how this is ? Why its showing other
videos thumbnails ?

I think after uploading video manually, its doing something wrong ?

Hi Parth,

if you click the share button the "green share button" the shared URL is your site URL not video URL. that because will have multiple thumbnails. for sharing the video for that link you must click share button at inside video player "the grey button"

Albert
