    Hello Dartiss or ArtissTheGeek, thanks for take a review of the metadata printed from your plugin, though I have to say that the description taken from the excerpt isn’t always a good practice, for example I have my excerpt with html table for best appearance and the plugin post all the crude html as “description”. I have All In One Seo plugin installed and so I have temporary solved by modifying the file generate-embed-code-php:

    $description = get_post_custom_values('_aioseop_description');
	foreach ( $description as $key => $value );
	$result .= $ttab . '<meta itemprop="description" content="' . $value . '" />' . $newline;

    Furthermore, I have seen in the YouTube metadata that they use additional:

    $result .= $ttab . '<meta itemprop="isFamilyFriendly" content="true" />' . $newline;

    And Yandex requires as well:

    $result .= $ttab . '<meta itemprop="thumbnail" content="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/' . $id . '/hqdefault.jpg" />' . $newline;

    I hope this helps and one more metadata to be sniffed from YouTube must be the “duration” of the video (Yandex required)

    Thank you for the good job!

    Hi,

    Yes, using the excerpt is causing issues so with 4.0.2 I’ll be re-using the blog name. As I don’t get ANY video data from YouTube, I have limited information to provide. In a future release I’ll look at interrogating the YouTube API for this.

    As for the other metadata you mention – I’m already providing the thumbnail, although I know there is some metadata that Yandex needs and I’m simply not able to provide at the moment. As for the family friendly then, no, as I’m unable to ascertain whether it is or not I won’t set it.

    David.

    Maybe you can charge the user of this by setting a general and per-video option in the setting page? or a parameter in the shortcode?

    It’s possible but as the next release is when I’m likely to add in the API I may as well go with that ??

    David.
