GSC Video Sitemap Issue
-
The GSC issue for the video sitemap is different than the image sitemap.
<video:content_loc> or <video:player_loc> is the same as <loc> value. These tags should contain links to the actual video, not the video’s html landing page.
We’ve detected that the value of either your <video:content_loc> or <video:player_loc> tag is the same as your <loc> value. These tags should contain links to the actual video, not the video’s html landing page. Without the correct link, this video may not be considered in your submission. For <video:content_loc>, the link should point to raw video bytes. For <video:player_loc>, the link should point to a swf player and have the correct parameters to play the target video.The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

I ended up just deleting the video as the video wasn’t on a page and was an trailer for a movie.
But the issue is still found on other sites I added this plugin too.
I think the issue is video:place_loc needs to be the page where the video is located on. Possibly an issue is if there is no page for the video it fallbacks to the video link.
I attempted to fix this on my own. Added to the query in the while statement.
$post_id = get_the_ID();
$media_file_url = wp_get_attachment_url($post_id);
$page_url = get_permalink($post_id);changed the echo here.
echo '<loc>' . esc_url( $page_url ) . '</loc>';for this elseif added to ()
$post_idgsc has no issues with it now
