How can i play Facebook videos on OWB? i know that OWB doesnt support recent flash, but you can also watch them in HTML5 player on OS X, so that should be possible on MOS too.

Have you tried changing the user agent to say that you are using an iPad?

that worked! thx.

is it possible to make OWB automatically switch to iPad spoof, when i click on a video? making facebook completly spoof as ipad will result in the disappearance of the chat.

Can't check myself just now, but check if you get suitable URL when clicking a video, which you could add to URL prefs and set it to spoof as ipad. If it would be something like www.facebook.com/blabla/video/blah or something recognizeable to video :)

Not exactly. Your web browser does not distinguish between "Flash video" and other types of Flash content so it generally would not know when you click on a video or something else.

In order to embed a Flash video, you do not directly provide a link to the video in a web page as you would with HTML5 video. Instead, you embed an SWF object, which can be a full-blown application, a game, etc. For mere online video purposes, the SWF object usually contains the video player user interface as well as a link to the actual video (.flv or .mp4).

There are some Facebook-specific user scripts that attempt to find HTML5 versions of Flash videos based on Facebook´s URL scheme for media files. However, as is to be expected, this breaks every time this scheme is modified.

ok the video url looks like this on facebook:


https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=1013808861970020


i tried to make the following url settings:

https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=*

spoof as iPad, no plugins, cookies allowed, javascript support, load pics automatically, webstorage allowed

but it wont work

ok

http://www.facebook.com/video.php*

as url in the settings worked!
