My video sitemap is not being index by Google

[docbeans]

Dear friends,

I have a videos portal. I created a video sitemap.xml and submit in to GWT but after 20 days it has not been indexed. I have verified in  bing webmaster as well. All videos are dynamically being fetched from server. My all static pages have been indexed but not videos.

Please help me where am I doing the mistake. There are no separate pages for single videos. All the content is dynamically coming from server. Please help me. your answers will be more appreciated.................

Thanks

Hi!

From what I could tell, your sitemap entries are missing at least one tag. Alle entries should have a or <video:player_loc></video:player_loc>tag according to https://developers.google.com/webmasters/videosearch/sitemaps

Hope this helps

Hi there

If you submit your sitemap through Google Search Console, it will let you know if it finds any errors or issues. I highly suggest utilizing this as it will point you to the issues and how to correct them.

Hope this helps! Good luck!

Hi Sarwans,

Did Anders' answer help resolve the problem? From the sitemap page he linked to, it looks like the minimum information you need to provide includes:

• Title ✓
• Description ✓
• Play page URL ✓
• Thumbnail URL ✓
• Raw video file URL and/or the video player URL

You're sending the video file page as which looks correct, but as Anders mentioned, I think you need to specify and/or video:player_loc</video:player_loc> as well.

Hi Sarwan,

It could be that this will not work because you use a CDN for serving both images and video content. According to https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/178636?hl=en you have to prove ownership to the CDN hosting site before this will be allowed. Perhpas this is the same with video, as it talks about having to verify the CDN hosting site in Search Console before being indexed/crawled.

Good luck with this!
