I'm trying to post a video to a user's timeline using Facebook's feed dialog. When I use the javascript SDK with:

FB.ui({

     method:'feed',

     name: 'testing',

     link: 'http://www.facebook.com',

     picture: 'http://img.youtube.com/vi/1CE6W5BubQo/0.jpg',

     source: 'http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1CE6W5BubQo'

});

I get:

And this is missing the thumbnail and video player. I tried adding type: 'video' to the parameters and I also tried replacing the source parameter with a direct link to the .swf file, but that didn't help. I'm not sure if this is a bug or if I'm doing something wrong. Any ideas?
