No new information to report. To clear up any miscommunication, streaming to Facebook is 100% supported but it will need to be accomplished manually via the method of copy/pasting you server and stream key from Facebook into a Custom RTMP destination in Switchboard. This process should take 5 minutes to set up and is an alternative/backup should an API issue arise again.
