I´ve got a problem with our webpage: http://www.intershop.de/.
When I want to share a link on Facebook and Google+ it works perfect, but LinkedIn always says, "preview cant be created" but I dont know why.
All meta / open graph tags are correct, I hope you can help me.

You are using the wrong image sizes (for any type of sharing). The image sizes you should use in your open graph tags should be 1200 (w) x 627 (h) pixels minimum and at these dimensions.

We have the ability current to share current articles on our site by clicking on the sharing icon. This loads up a URL like:
https://www.linkedin.com/sharing/share-offsite/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.mydomain.com%2Fbuild-to-suit-leases-0419%2F
What's odd, is that the image that is loaded up from the OG:Image sometimes is very large while other times it's displayed as a small icon/banner layout. But in either case, the image is the exact same size and format which is used. The browser we use doesn't make a difference. I've also found that if I wait for the linked cache to clear and try to share the link again, it can give me a different layout.
Is there something else I can provide in that URL to specify the desired layout?
I think this was already answered here:
LinkedIn share requirements (BIG image)
But
Take a look at this link
https://www.linkedin.com/help/linkedin/answer/46687/making-your-website-shareable-on-linkedin?lang=en
So the recommended ratio of your image should be 1.91:1.
Do you have a working link for the URL you want to share?
I had problems before with it because we had something generating dynamic images and that was causing linkedin to display them little.
You can also add more meta tags to it like:
og:image:width - The number of pixels wide.
og:image:height - The number of pixels high.
More info about extra meta tags can be found here

Is it possible to get a random picture from a video in JavaFx?
I know there is a snapshot() method provided by MediaView, but the thing is, I wanna get a picture of each video I loaded BEFORE it was displayed in MediaView.
I need those pictures to create previews in my library, hopefully you realize what is meant.
Thanks in advance for any idea or suggestion :)
I am using a wordpress blog,some of the open graph image not showing on linkedin. but it showing if i change the post category.every post works fine with facebook and twitter. Can anyone help me?
maybe these images are too small.
I had the same problem with an logo. Facebook-developer-tools told me (Error was shown only on Chrome):
Provided og:image URL, 'IMAGE' was not valid because it did not meet the minimum size constraint of 200px by 200px.
BTW.: Take a look at these Article on Point 4
I am trying to embed a youtube video in my wordpress site and I would like to start it at the beginning but display it at another point for visuals, is this possible? I have looked online and in the youtube api with no luck..hoping Im missing it.
Thanks for any help.
You can always embed the visual and then allow the video to play with the click through from the beginning. You can get the visual to be a pretty high dpi as well so the quality remains in tact.
Youtube only generates a few snapshots (around 1-3 snap images), there is no specific way to get an image at X point of time. It will be either a few seconds from the start, the middle and 1 other spot.
If you need to get the other format of the thumbnails, perhaps this can help
Google Json String Query for Video
I made a post on WordPress, then shared it on a Facebook page. In the past, the shared image would be the large "post" image. But now, for some reason, it's using the thumbnail. Running the url through fb's debugger shows that Open Graph recognizes both og:images, but that neither of them are being used in the share preview. Once posted, it uses the thumbnail.
I checked the meta content in the page head just to double check and sure enough, it looks fine:
<meta property="og:image" content="##">
What's causing this? It's recognized, but not used. What?
I currently facing the same issue, after contacting facebook, it turns out there is an issue in Open Graph in facebook that affects some users.
The Bug has been reported and assigned as "high priority" in Facebook support center - https://developers.facebook.com/bugs/978421888869140/
Be sure to have a look at
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/sharing/best-practices#images
You need at least images of 1200x630 pixels size to be able to get a large preview image.
Furthermore, you should put the larger image first IMHO.
