video site map is not generating

Hi @giuseppegalliano

Thank you for your purchase.

I will have a look and reply back soon.

Best regards

Hi @giuseppegalliano

I had a look at the issue and your site uses JavaScript to view the videos, which is not supported by the Sitemap Generator currently. However, you have implemented a fallback for each video which the Sitemap Generator can handle and thus it should add the videos to the sitemap correctly.

In the logs I just see that there are many timeouts when the sitemap is generated. Can you try to set the number of concurrent connections in the plugin settings to 1 and run the Sitemap Generator again? Ideally this should fix the timeouts and the videos should be added.

When the generation has finished, you should see a timeout count in the stats, which should ideally be 0.

If you prefer a refund of your payment, please just let me know.

Best regards
Marco

Hi Giuseppe

Thank you for trying it again and your patience.

I had a deeper look at the issue now and the cause is a bug in a software library I’m using.

I’m not in my office today (Friday) and this weekend, but can work on a fix next week. I cannot guarantee that I get it done next week, but probably should.

I can offer you that I give my best to fix the bug till Friday next week and if I get it fixed, I would send you a new token valid for two years (instead of one as purchased) as a little excuse. If I’m not getting it done, I will refund your payment.

Would that be okay for you? If not, I can refund your payment immediately.

Best regards
Marco

perfect. thx a lot! let me know when you are ready.

Hi Giuseppe

I just published a fix for the video issue and my test was successful. Can you try it again?

By the way, you might want to add bwg to the Query Params to Remove in the options of the plugin because one gallery uses bwg as timestamp and the timestamps should be removed from the links in the sitemap.

Hi Giuseppe

Did you already had the time to try if the issue is fixed?

If it works, I will send you the new token valid for two years as promised.

Best regards

look the result:

Sitemap image count: 1039
Sitemap video count: 364

364 video instead of 0 of last time.
my compliments. thax again

are there a way (or an upgrade) to obtain different sitemaps (one for video, one for images, one for url)?. if not, it is possible get only a video site map?
thx again
giuseppe

Hi @giuseppegalliano

Thank you for your reply. I’m glad that it works now.

For what purpose do you need the separated sitemaps? I don’t understand how this should work because the default sitemaps search engines can process always requires a list of HTML pages with videos and images assigned to the HTML pages.

Thus if the generation of a video-only sitemap would be possible with the Link Checker, it wouldn’t be readable by search engines. Maybe we can find a solution for your problem once I understand for what you need the sitemap.

I will send you the new token within a few minutes by mail.

Best regards and have a nice vacation
Marco

thx again. great job!
