Embedding TO facebook was created by ccvid

I was just reviewing a post from Long Tail video about embedding videos to Facebook. ( www.longtailvideo.com/support/blog/19150/publish-your-videos-to-facebook-with-a-jw-player?utm_campaign=April2011-Newsletter-%28newsletter-04-2011%29&utm_medium=Email&utm_source=Player-Download-List&utm_content=blog_publish_facebook_txt1 )

It deals with using the OpenGraph (og) tags in the meta description...so when I post a link of our video to facebook, facebook automatically detects the video and allows viewers to watch the video on facebook.

Has anyone implemented this into AllVideos? How would you suggest doing it? Is there an easy edit in the sources.php file? I've also looked for plugins for joomla articles to alter the og tags, but I'm feeling a bit over my head.

FYI, I'm using AllVideos 2.5.3 (because I'm happy with it) and Joomla 1.5.

Thanks!
Ben

So how could we add in the meta properties? If JW player calls for the og video like...

<meta property="og:video" content="http://www.example.com/jwplayer/player.swf?file=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.example.com%2Fbunny.flv&autostart=true&plugins=like-1" />

Where could we add it into Allvideos...

"flv" => "
<span style=\"width:{VWIDTH}px;height:{VHEIGHT}px;\" class=\"allvideos_player\" title=\"JoomlaWorks AllVideos Player\">
	<object type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" style=\"width:{VWIDTH}px;height:{VHEIGHT}px;\" data=\"$mosConfig_live_site/plugins/content/jw_allvideos/players/mediaplayer_4.0.46.swf\">
		<param name=\"movie\" value=\"$mosConfig_live_site/plugins/content/jw_allvideos/players/mediaplayer_4.0.46.swf\" />
		<param name=\"quality\" value=\"high\" />
		<param name=\"wmode\" value=\"{TRANSPARENCY}\" />
		<param name=\"bgcolor\" value=\"{BACKGROUND}\" />
		<param name=\"autoplay\" value=\"{AUTOPLAY}\" />
		<param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" />
		<param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" />
		<param name=\"flashvars\" value=\"file=$mosConfig_live_site/{VFOLDER}/{AVSOURCE}.flv&image=$mosConfig_live_site/{VFOLDER}/{AVSOURCE}.jpg&autostart={AUTOPLAY}{CONTROLBAR}&fullscreen=true\" />
	</object>
</span>
