YouDescribe player page sharing doesn't always show up on Facebook with correct thumbnail image #137

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
Share certain videos on Facebook (which pulls a thumbnail image from YouTube), 
e.g.:

http://youdescribe.org/player.php?v=4w7sVSMbjyM&prefer_d=Owen

The image is not displayed, or the YouDescribe menu bar graphic is displayed.

The YouDescribe player page can be examined using Facebook's Open Graph Object 
debugger:

https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/og/object/

The metadata:

<meta property="og:image" 
content="http://i.ytimg.com/vi/4w7sVSMbjyM/maxresdefault.jpg" />

links to an invalid image. The page needs to use a different JPG link, ideally 
after going through the YouTube Data API for that video.
