[Plugin: Google XML Sitemap for Videos] Does not detect videos from a video blog

I just check your website and it looks like Videos are getting detected.

Thats not the site I was talking about.. That’s my main blog

My video section is at https://video.environmentabout.com

And when I try to create a video sitemap, it pops up the message I have posted above..

When I add some embed code in post body, it grabs the code perfectely.. But when I add the code in custom field as required by all video centric theme, it displays the above error message.

Can you share the sample embed code that you are using to embed this sitemap in your blog posts?

I am using the normal object embed code that is provided by youtube

<object width="600" height="335"><param name="movie" value="https://www.youtube.com/v/FS7o4g5kzMM?version=3&hl=en_GB&rel=0"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="https://www.youtube.com/v/FS7o4g5kzMM?version=3&hl=en_GB&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="600" height="335" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object>

As I wrote earlier, the plugin detects the code only when I add it into the post editor. However, if I add this code into a custom fieldsay “Video”, the plugin can’t find the code and displays the following message

Looks like none of your blog posts contain YouTube videos. Please publish a test post containing a YouTube video and regnerate the video sitemap.

Not only this plugin, but I installed other video sitemap plugins also to confirm the problem and every plugin has the same issue..

Ah. Currently it is designed to only read videos that are embedded directly into the blog posts.

Oh. Thanks for the update..

Will there be support for other video sites like vimeo, google videos, facebook videos etc. in future?

I have 7 videos displaying on one page: https://ericyoffie.com/videos. And, each video is treated as a separate post. When I run this plugin, I get the result below. Two issues:

1. Muslim Friends: An Appeal is not a video, nor is it categorized as a video
2. None of my 7 videos are getting put into the site map.

Any ideas?
