facebook-live-video's Issues

no video published in facebook wall

there is no video published and when i copy this link from log:
https://www.facebook.com/video/embed?video_id=1163193180415264

it show my profile picture as a video
what it is happen?

The live video has ended.

I just tried this. Very cool!

I am running into an issue where on starting the live stream, what I see in my feed is "This live video has ended." I tried it on a $5/mo Digital Ocean droplet, and thought maybe the server was too wimpy to keep up, so upped it to a $20/mo server but am seeing the same thing.

However when I ctrl-c to kill the node process, and refresh my feed, I'll be able to playback the historical live video that has previously said it had "ended."

A snapshot of what I see in the stream.log looks like this:

Metadata:
encoder : Lavf56.40.101
Stream #0:0: Video: h264 (libx264) ([7][0][0][0] / 0x0007), yuv420p, 1280x720 [SAR 1:1 DAR 16:9], q=-1--1, 10 fps, 1k tbn, 10 tbc
Metadata:
encoder : Lavc56.60.100 libx264
Stream mapping:
Stream #0:0 -> #0:0 (png (native) -> h264 (libx264))
frame= 1905 fps=8.3 q=25.0 size= 695kB time=00:03:05.60 bitrate= 30.7kbits/s

Any idea what could cause this?

Facebook post now showing

Hey

I can't really figure out what's wrong.
I'm using npm start [token] false friends.

Seems like everything's right.
It outputs facebook video object & phantomjs's command with ffmpeg.
But.. I cannot see any new posts on my wall.

Any idea?

The Video not collect all Reactions

As you know we have more than the "public result" from every post..
some time you see the Reactions = 500
but we have more than that.. We have 200 too from share ..
you can found that from "Publishing Tools" Tab in Facebook.
can we collect this numbers too ?

Thank you

Not staying at 30fps

I noticed that the "keep ffmpeg stream at 30 fps" issue was marked as done in the readme, but I am seeing the same behavior where it starts at 30 and then drops down.

FWIW, I also noticed that if I include more images in the web site, it drops down much lower, to around 2 or 3 fps.

What was the fix for that? Is it in the master branch? Are you really able to hold steady at 30 fps?

Privacy issue

Line 41 of index.js includes access permissions for 2 FB profile IDs, one of which links back to the authors account. Haven't looked into it enough but this seems like if nothing is provided it will by default allow access from the author of the repos account in some way?

Low FPS

What server is needed to run this setup?
I'm currently running it on an Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E3-1231 v3 @ 3.40GHz but I'm only getting around 15fps.

I even tried http://www.initializr.com/try as a target which is basically empty.
There it starts at 150 FPS and goes down to 15 after ~20 seconds.

Is there anything I could do to keep it at 30 fps?
