  Video Sitemap

  Posted by April Rizzo on February 20, 2010 at 12:52 am

  I am currently struggling with properly creating a video sitemap to Google for my website visisuite.net. When I submit my Video Sitemap to Google I get an Error on Line 7

  “Parsing error – We were unable to read your Sitemap. It may contain an entry we are unable to recognize. Please validate your Sitemap before resubmitting.”

  Here is a sample from my sitemap:

  
  
  xmlns:video=”https://www.google.com/schemas/sitemap-video/1.1″>

  
  https://visisuite.net/video-intro.html
  
  https://visisuite.net/IntroFinal99.flv
  https://visisuite.net/player.swf

  The rest of the URL tags are setup the same way for each of my website’s 11 video pages. This example is pointing to visisuite.net/video-intro.html I am also trying to ensure that Google will link to my video pages as I do not have any branding associated with my player.

  I am using the webstunning flv player skin and must say I have been a bit confused as to what the proper video:player loc is for it. I tried removing the player location tag and that does not help the problem.

  If I try to access my video sitemap via: https://visisuite.net/sitemap-video.xml I get this error:

  The XML page cannot be displayed
  Cannot view XML input using XSL style sheet. Please correct the error and then click the Refresh button, or try again later.

  The operation completed successfully. Error processing resource ‘https://visisuite.net/sitemap-video.xml’. Line 7, Position…

  I am new to website creation and am not sure if I’ve provided the proper information. Please let me know if I need to add any additional information. I appreciate any advice I can get in resolving this issue. Thank you for your time.
