  Hi all,
  I am trying to import a video from facebook, but the long code that facebook gives me:

  <object width=”400″ height=”300″ ><param name=”allowfullscreen” value=”true” /><param name=”movie” value=”http://www.facebook.com/v/10150196917368275″ /><embed src=”http://www.facebook.com/v/10150196917368275″ type=”application/x-shockwave-flash” allowfullscreen=”true” width=”400″ height=”300″></embed></object>

  is automatically transformed into a short:

  http://www.facebook.com/v/10150196917368275

  which just shows up as a link to the video and not the video itself. Any suggestions?
  Thanks

  Eva

  Yes I suggest you try using vodpod. You can post just about any video to your WordPress.com blog using VodPod’s “Post to WordPress” button. The “Post to WordPress” button will work on just about any site that offers Flash video with an embed code. See here please > http://en.support.wordpress.com/videos/vodpod/

  @irishdebate : You’d have to ask staff directly…

  I’m not familiar with Livestream, but if it runs on Flash, you can try timethief’s suggestion or use this one too.
