 * Hi
 * When I publish a post on my facebook wall,i see these shorcodes [youtube] from
   another plugin. How I can do not to appear on the facebook wall.?
 * For example, see in the wall:

 * Well, first for YouTube, oEmbed is built into WordPress and it takes care of 
   that. So I’d get rid of the other plugin using those shortcodes, since you don’t
   need it. Just `[embed]http://youtu.be/iWiX8IUw36c[/embed]` will work, no plugins
   needed.
 * Second, SFC processes shortcodes. So if the other plugin was capable of processing
   the shortcode on the admin side of things, then the shortcode would be processed
   into the embed code, SFC would pick it up and convert it into the proper video
   meta tags, and your shared post on Facebook would then actually have the video
   in it.
 * So, basically whatever shortcode plugin you’re using that creates that shortcode
   isn’t quite doing it right. Use embed instead. It’s easier and it always works.

 * Thanks for responding.
    My first idea was to use the [embed] WordPress, but not
   working.
 * For example, I embed a video without plugins with fixed size of 936px width and
   height: 587px and wordpress shows me another different size: width: 783px and
   height: 587px. :s
 * To me this is a problem because it breaks my design.
 * For this I had to use a plugin because I do not know how to fix it.
 * If I could edit any part of WordPress core to set the exact size. My site just
   going to have the same size for all videos.
 * Thank you for your help.

 * The size of an embed defaults to the max-size of the theme’s container. So if
   the theme has correctly defined its content width, then that’s the size the embed
   will fit to.
 * If the theme isn’t defining things properly, or you want to override it, then
   you can do `[embed width=123 height=456]...[/embed]`

 * Thx. I fix.
 * I have another question.
 * Why in the file sfc-media.php see these sizes?
 * Line 120:
 *     ```
       $og['og:video:height'] = 398;
       $og['og:video:width'] = 224;
       ```
   
 * Videos facebook wall are very close.

 * Those are the sizes YouTube itself uses in their own metadata for most of the
   videos I’ve been able to find. Occasionally they’ll use a different size for 
   non-widescreen videos, but the majority of the videos are widescreen and they
   handle the non-wide ones with boxing anyway.
