Video Sitemap not working
« on: July 30, 2014, 02:45:15 PM »
Hi, I have a problem with the video sitemap, I followed all the instruction on installing it and the sitemap.xml works fine, even the sitemap_mobile.xml is fine, but the sitemap_video.xml doesn't seem to have any information, I have a video sharing website at [ External links are visible to forum administrators only ] a lot of the videos are embedded from Youtube and I need to get my videos on Google, can you please help?

Hello,

what is an example page with video that is not detected?

Note that only videos from this sources can be detected by sitemap generator bot:
https://www.xml-sitemaps.com/video-sitemap.html
YouTube, Google Video, Vimeo, Dailymotion, MTV

(since they provide API that allow to get video details like play duration/thumbnail etc)

Hello,

you need to use youtube's embed code so that generator bot can find it, like:
<iframe width="560" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/XXXXXXXXX" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
