Video Source and Graphics API

Question

I have the following problem. I need to save the link to the FB video added by the user in order to play it in the future. When I use the graph API method "me / videos / uploaded", it returns the URL as the source parameter. I can use it to watch a video, but only for a certain period of time (maybe for one day). Is there a way to automatically detect a link to a video that works all the time?

Here is an example video source:

"embed_html": "<object width="320" height="240" ><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><param name="movie" value="http://www.facebook.com/v/1365218093993" /><embed src="http://www.facebook.com/v/1365218093993" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="320" height="240"></embed></object>", "icon": "http://static.ak.fbcdn.net/rsrc.php/v1/yD/r/DggDhA4z4tO.gif", "source": "http://video.ak.fbcdn.net/cfs-ak-snc6/81281/459/1365218093993_56875.mp4?oh=d6b577b50bbbce2424dda238ac4e8043&oe=4E540600&__gda__=1314129408_fbaa130dd98e78430748ee9c4c974fc2"

Any help would be greatly appreciated, ur!

Answer 1

Have you tried the url included in the embed_html parameter as part of the <embed> ? In your case:

 http://www.facebook.com/v/1365218093993 

This should be constantly redirected to the video. At least it works today, two weeks after you asked a question.
