This is not working in my case:

Added: PRO Quick Media enables a video to be inserted into the editor using a URL, without opening the Media Manager dialog. This can be done by either, or by pasting the URL directly into the browser window. Supports all common HTML5 video types (mp4, m4v, ogg, ogv, webm) and common media providers, eg: Youtube, Vimeo, Dailymotion, Scribd, Slideshare, Soundcloud, Spotify, TED, Twitch, Facebook and Instagram.

Link is not recognized and converted to video. Also when I use the dropdown input on the Media Manaer button and add the url of Facebook video, i got "This URL is not currently supported".

I am able to add a Facebook video only over code view with iframe code...

For YouTube video, everything is working perfectly!

Please advice

Thank you,
Josip

Please try JCE Pro 2.9.81 Beta 4 - https://www.joomlacontenteditor.net/downloads/editor/pro/development

Clear your browser cache after install.

This adds simlple support for Facebook video urls like https://www.facebook.com/123456789/videos/123456789 so video links can be automatically converted to iframes when pasting the link directly into the editor, and supports conversion of the URL value to the correct form when pasting the video url into the URL field of the Media Manager.

Just because you're not paranoid doesn't mean everybody isn't out to get you.

Thank you,

now it is recognized, but no playable.

This is code it generates:

<iframe src="https://www.facebook.com/plugins/https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fwatch%2F%3Fv%3D1191007932015057&width=500&height=280" frameborder="0" allow="encrypted-media;fullscreen" scrolling="no" height="280" width="500" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>

This is code added manual, working:

<iframe src="https://www.facebook.com/plugins/video.php?height=314&href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2FMetaforDevelopers%2Fvideos%2F1191007932015057%2F&show_text=false&width=560&t=0" allow="autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; picture-in-picture; web-share" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" style="border: none; overflow: hidden;" height="314" width="560" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>

This is working in all my tests, for example this url - https://www.facebook.com/100064510341377/videos/1191007932015057 - gives this code:

<iframe src="https://www.facebook.com/plugins/video.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2F100064510341377%2Fvideos%2F1191007932015057&width=500&height=280" allow="encrypted-media;fullscreen" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" height="280" width="500"></iframe>
