Facebook crawler for videos page problem (opengraph issue?)

Hi,

We've noticed that when we share a video to facebook we see a "Download this file" message. I believe this may have to do with the ordering of the opengraph meta tags for the og:video:type and og:video:url, similar to what is discussed here:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/36637961/shared-mp4-video-shows-download-file-instead-of-playing-it-on-timeline

I see that the opengraph tags are inserted in the file:

/administrator/components/com_easysocial/includes/opengraph/opengraph.php

However, changes to this file don't seem to affect the rendered output for the video page. Any advice?

Thanks!
If you using latest version of Easysocial 2.x, that video opengraph is located at this file -> JoomlaFolder/administrator/components/com_easysocial/includes/meta/helpers/opengraph.php

Ha, yes! Thanks, we still had the code base for the old 1.x version on the system prior to the upgrade.
