Comment (by Otto42):

 The video passed via OpenGraph is indeed a flash video. Example:

 {{{
 <meta property="og:video:type" content="application/x-shockwave-flash" />
 <meta property="og:video" content="https://videopress.com/v/vbkXAcCQ" />
 <meta property="og:video:secure_url"
 content="https://videopress.com/v/vbkXAcCQ" />
 }}}

 This is one of the types Facebook accepts.

 They also accept video/mp4, which we should consider using instead, since
 that is also available:

 {{{
 <meta name="twitter:player:stream"
 content="https://wptv.files.wordpress.com/2015/11/davide-casali-four-
 steps-make-talk-wcvie-2015.mp4" />
 }}}
