I'm trying to show a Kaltura Media Node video in a Facebook canvas page. I have the Facebook for Drupal module installed and a modified fb_fbml theme for theming the pages when views through canvas pages. On the regular site I am linking media nodes to a meta data page for the video. So you navigate to the page with the info about the video (descriptive blurb, title, runtime, etc.) and the video itself can be played. I am using the kaltura_replace_tags($node->content['FIELD_NAME']['#children']) function to get the video player onto the page.
This works fine and dandy on the regular site. The problem arises when viewing the same page through the FB canvas page lens. Everything else on the page shows up normally but the video content. If I looks at the page source all of the info for the player shows up - it's just not rendered.
Is there a trick to getting the Kaltura player and FB to play nicely? Alternatively, is there a FB player I need to use to show the video? If so, how do I get the stream from Kaltura to play in that player?
Hi,
Can you please send a link to this page? Would like to take a look... Thx.
Wouldn't you know it? I figured it out. Why do I always find the answer just after I scream out to the internet for help?
For anyone else banging their head against a wall:
Well apparently my response with very helpful code samples has been marked as spam. There is a way to do it involving Facebook's FBML for media and Kaltura's raw stream URLs. I hope that's enough of a clue for others.
