i just noticed this today - whenever i share a youtube video on my FB profile, the sound quality of the shared video gets significantly worse than if you would open the same link directly on youtube! and i do mean significantly...
is it only me? i am sure this wasn't like that before... it was the same as on youtube! and now... wtf., this is getting ridiculous...
edit: soundcloud seems to be down atm, so cannot see if the same thing happens with soundcloud links. i hope something's wrong on my machine, although i fail to see what it could be...
FB degrades sound quality of shared YouTube videos?
Re: FB degrades sound quality of shared YouTube videos?
soundloud is just a player embedded in the facebook site
the stream comes from soundcloud
the same with youtube videos.
it can be though that you have settings that play the youtube video in the lowest possible way if you open it through a embedded player. cause you can choose the quality with youtube, this option doesnt exist for soundcloud
check your youtube settings, there are options for quality dependent on largeness of the player.

i didn't notice this with Facebook but the youtube embedded stuff on discogs is a lot worse so i wouldn't be surprised.

Maybe because when it's embed it is set on 240p automatically?

nothing seems to help... anyway, no more sharing of youtube clips for me
