    Hello Mark,

    thank you for the question!

    If no outside description (for example from Vimeo) or a synopsis is provided, FV Player automatically grabs the meta description of your post as the video description.

    Perhaps you are missing all of these options? The easiest would be to make sure that your post does have a meta description.

    Once the appropriate changes has been made, don’t forget to go back to Google Search Console and click the “Validate Fix” button.

    Let me know, if it helped.

    Thanks,
    Maria

    Hello again, Maria.

    My post does have a meta description, and FV Player was not grabbing meta description from my post as the video description.

    After I do some research, I know where the problem is. It’s from the Video SEO menu. I will drop the attachment below here.

    Because when I use the current schema builder from the Rank Math SEO plugin, it solves the issues. And after that, I have to disable the current schema markup from the FV Player setting.

    please check this Rich Result Test from Google and go to the video option:

    Hello Mark,

    thank you for posting the details. I guess it was not clear to Maria that you mean the SEO markup for videos and not the video sitemap.

    In FV Player we always use some description for the Schema.org video markup. It uses the FV Simpler SEO meta description (post meta key _aioseop_description) or 10 words from the article, or in the worst case the WordPress Tagline for the website.

    It does not put in “id” which seems to be present on your screenshot “it-should-be-there”.

    Thanks,
    Martin

    Hello Martin,

    If you can see the highlighted text on my screenshot images, you can see on the script, and googlebot notifies there is a missing field because <meta itemprop=”description” content=”” /> is empty.

    And I don’t know how to automatically fill the fields.

    Kind Regards,
    Mark

    Hello Mark,

    I do not see how would FV Player generated an empty description Schema.org tag. On top of that there are the linebreak br tags which shouldn’t be there.

    Where is that FV Player posted? Is it in post content or in a widget?

    Are you using some page builder with it?

    Is there any other plugin that it taking care of SEO fields?

    Thanks,
    Martin
