Youtube views not registering through Facebook

Youtube does not count views when videos are autoplayed, i.e. when they have the parameter autoplay=1 at the end of the url like this:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4r7wHMg5Yjg&autoplay=1

now when the videos are embedded inside facebook the code is:

<embed width="398" height="224" flashvars="width=398&amp;height=224" wmode="opaque" salign="tl" allowscriptaccess="never" allowfullscreen="true" scale="scale" quality="high" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" name="swf_u285641_8" id="swf_u285641_8" style="" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/TxzVGR5U4Lc?version=3&amp;autohide=1&amp;autoplay=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash">

because of this the views when a u开发者_如何转开发ser shares on their facebook does not get counted properly. This has huge marketing ramifications, as youtube views are very important to grow organically, and facebook is definately the biggest medium of word of mouth.

This problem has been confirmed by a Google Employee, so is facebook working on something to rectify this?

Interesting. I guess the makeshift solution is to post a screen shot with a link to youtube or your page as long as autoplay=0.
