Can I share an HTML player?

I am trying to share a custom HTML/JavaScript player in Facebook. Is it possible? I have tried with

    <meta property="og:video" content="https://***/player.html">
    <meta property="og:video:type" content="text/html">  
    <meta property="og:video:secure_url" content="https://***/player.html">
    <meta property="og:video:width" content="500">
    <meta property="og:video:height" content="500">

What I want to do is a system like the Twitter player cards. I wish to have my player embed in Facebook in an iframe (like Twitter). This way I can have a custom skin for my player and control it the way I want.

The code above is working if I link an MP3 file in secure_url & video but not when I link the player (example of link: https://***/player.html)

When shared on Facebook I have my link in a "video" element with the source set to my link.

well, youtube and soundcloud use html players for sharing. "https://www.youtube.com/embed/xPR-Ej-ENbk". So it should be possible, I am working on the same issue here, but when rendered on facebook am getting a div with class name "me-cannotplay", and am still trying to figure out if this something related to getting white listed by facebook or if there is something wrong with the html player i am using.

As @WizKid said, a simple answer is that you just cannot embed any javascript in facebook story.
