      I use this schema for my page:

      itemtype="http://schema.org/VideoObject">

      Video: <span itemprop="name">Interview with the Foo

      Fighters</span itemprop="name">

      <meta itemprop="duration" content="t1m33s" ></meta itemprop="duration" content="t1m33s" >

      <meta itemprop="thumbnail"< p=""></meta itemprop="thumbnail"<>

      content="foo-fighters-interview-thumb.jpg" />

      <param ...></param ...>

      <embed type="application x-shockwave-flash" ...=""></embed type="application>

      <span itemprop="description">Catch this exclusive interview</span itemprop="description">

      with Dave Grohl and the Food Fighters about their new album,

      Rope.

      But i cannot make it work on my website:

      Tumbnail des not appear

      <meta itemprop="thumbnail" content="foo-fighters-interview-thumb.jpg" ></meta itemprop="thumbnail" content="foo-fighters-interview-thumb.jpg" >

      i use for ejemple

      <meta itemprop="thumbnail" content="http: www.mywebsite.com="" diretion-of-the-foto.jpg" =""></meta itemprop="thumbnail" content="http:>

      But no only does not appear foto on page as there is no button to start video, just a blank page is seen as result of the code.

      Can someone helpme with a own ejemple on is website. Thanks

        Typically the meta tagged elements won't display...but, that line in your code is NOT the one you want to show on the page anyway. It's just for the search engines to use to display in the search results.

        Your embedded object should show the thumbnail and allow you to play it.  Go very carefully through the <embed> code and look for every instance where a file is referred to:  the swf file (there should be TWO instances of this).

        It's also possible that your player needs to run some javascript as well and that's either not working or not included.
