Displaying Video in Google Search Results

Hello,
I'm not sure if I am posting this in the right place. So I appologise if I have it wrong.
I am trying to get my video thumbnail to appear along with my website in Google Searches. I have found examples of the HTML markup and the video sitemaps and modified them to suite my needs, I have included the HTML into my website and uploaded the sitemap in Google Webmaster Tools a couple of weeks ago. However, the video still doesn't apppear in the Google Searches. I used Dreamweaver CS6 to embed the video file into my HTML4 website. Google has accepted the sitemap and everything seems to be ok, except that it still doesn't display in the Google Searches.  I have placed the code I used below. Can someone please help me with where I have gone wrong.

Aslo I was wondering if there is a way with Dreamweaver to add the "Play" button onto the video clip itself instead of having it underneith the clip on the player controls.
Can someone please help me with what I am doing wrong?
Thanks,

@Ken: Good find! I didn't look into the code in detail.
@potzki: No, your markup for sitemap seems fine. But like Ken said, the image is not available on the server. Also, do note that the sitemap is only an 'indicator' for Google and will help Google in understanding how your site is laid out - since it is you, the sitemaster, that creates the sitemap and pushes it to Google. But, it's not end of the road for Google. It will cache other areas of your site - unless you've explicitly told Google not to using robots.txt file.
One more observation - your domain name is like way tooooooo long - forget google, for regular people to type into. Is there a specific reason you chose this one rather than a short, concise one?

  • My google search results are displayed shortened in firefox

    Hello, my name is Timothy White, and I use FireFox almost exclusively as my browser and I noticed some months back that my google search results for the "shopping" engine suddenly became shortened. That is to say that depending on what I search for, I have only 2-4 or so columns of results displayed. The weirdest part is if I change the results to be displayed by price rather than by relevance, I often receive totally different results that were not displayed before.
    Naturally, I harassed the google technical help twice before I received an answer, which was that they had no idea what I was talking about. Thinking that this may not be a problem on their end, I mirrored my search results in Internet Explorer as well, and found that IE gave me many pages of results. Changing the sorting there, gave me the same first 2 or 3 pages FireFox displayed, followed by ll the rest.
    So FireFox is somehow cutting off the product searches after a certain number of results. I searched google (on IE now of course), and your technical help database to see if anyone else had this problem, and as far as I know, its a new one. Either that or you guys are playing a cruel trick on me, which I hope is not true, or I am going completely crazy, which I really, really hope is not true either.
    So, are there any ideas why this is happening? Any help would be greatly appreciated, and let me know if you need any more info. Thanks,
    ~Tim

  • Google search results shows no thumbnail images in Firefox as compared to IE or Chrome.

  • Why do google search results reset to match the search bar terms when i use the back button?

    Since the update to FF 23, the list of Google search results clears and the on-page search box is reset to match the address bar search box when I hit the back button to re-view the results list after checking a result.
    To see this issue for yourself, set your search provider to Google and make sure Instant is on. Type a search term into the search bar and press enter. A google page appears with your results list. Now, change your search terms or conduct a new search directly from the google page (without using the FF search bar). Click on the first result in the search list, then click the back button to return to the search results so you can check a differest result. As FF goes back to the google page, it will reset the on-page search box to match the FF search bar (although you were no longer on this search) and all search results will disappear, replaced by the message "Press enter to search". Pressing enter reconducts your old search, not the one you were on.
    This is incredibly maddening since searching for something requires frequent use of the back button to check through the list of search results, and then frequently trying the search again with slightly different terms. Although it sounds like a Google issue, it did not occur on the old firefox and has me wanting to revert. I tried to revert to the old search function via the "keyword search" addon, but this did not fix my issue. Is there a way to force FF to go back to the actual google search page I was just on instead of conducting a new google search from the FF search box when I hit the back button?

    In Firefox 23 versions and later the keyword.URL pref is no longer supported and it is no longer possible to specify the search engine for the location bar via the keyword.URL pref.<br />
    The search engine that is used on the location bar and on the about:home page is the search engine that is selected in the search Bar on the Navigation Toolbar.<br />
    Current Firefox versions do not update the about:home home page until you refresh the page (future versions will do this automatically without a refresh) and that is what happens if you use the Back key.
    You can install the Keyword Search extension to specify with search engine to use for the location bar and which search engine to use for the about:home page via the Options/Preferences windows of this extension, accessible via the about:addons page.

  • I'm having trouble with something that redirects Google search results when I use Firefox on my PC. It's called the 'going on earth' virus. Do you have a fix that could rectify the vulnerability in your software?

    I'm having trouble with a virus or something which affects Google search results when I use Firefox on my PC ...
    When I search a topic gives me pages of links as normal, but when I click on a link, the page is hijacked to a site called 'www.goingonearth.com' ...
    I've done a separate search and found that other users are affected, but there doesn't seem to be a clear-cut solution ... (Norton, McAfee and Kaspersky don't seem to be able to detect/fix it).
    I'd like to continue using the Firefox/Google combination (nb: the hijack virus also affects IE but not Safari) - do you have a patch/fix that could rectify the vulnerability in your software?
    thanks

  • Safari 5.0.2 doesn't save any more google search results in the history.

    Hello together,
    Safari doesn't save any more google search results in the history.
    Steps to reproduce:
    1.) go to google.com
    2.) search for "APPLE"
    3.) open the history
    Result: the search for "APPLE" is not saved - only the Google mainpage.
    This has something to do with the new search string in the Location bar. Safari does not save URL with /#.
    For example:
    the new string is http://www.google.de/#hl=...
    the old one is: http://www.google.de/search?hl=....
    The change must something to do with the new Google-Search-Feature. When I deactivate it, then google works with the old string and I found the searches in the history.
    The second negative effect is, when you type "apple" into the location bar (after a search), the autocomplete shows the search result, but when you hit enter, you are redirected to the Google-Mainpage.
    Very annoying
    Can somebody confirm.
    Thanks

  • As of this morning, I am being redirected to uk.gomeo when i click on google search results in Safari. Do I have a virus?

    Hi,
    First time poster and very non-techy person here. I am being redirected to urls starting "uk.gomeo..." when clicking on Google search results in Safari. Quick search on this seems to suggest I have a virus. Not sure what to do or how to get rid of it. Not sure what could have caused it either. Downloaded Acrobat update couple of days ago which took hours, and Twitter account was hacked about a week ago. All software updates up to date. Any advice much appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Sorry editing that way doesn't work anymore in Lion. But you can look and see if there are any google entries in it. If there are not any google entries you can ignore my posts. If there are try this:
    Open terminal
    sudo nano /etc/hosts
    When prompted for the sudo password - The correct password is your own (the password of the user logged into OS X, also the password you provide when doing system updates and so on).
    now you can delete the line(s) that contain google and save.
    Using your arrow keys go to the line containing google. Delete the line. Do the same for all lines containig google.
    if you have a problem deleting, do a control-x to exit, and reply n to the modified buffer question. To save your changes do a  control-o and hit enter , then do a control-x to quit.
    Note: normally you never edit the hosts file, but if you see google entries in it then a malware programs has added them. It has been happening with a bogus flash update, that installs flash and asks for your system password. SOmething that seem quite normal when installing software. This bogus flash update makes the hosts modifications adding their own IP adrress for google.

  • Google search results won't open automatically new tab in firefox 6.0.2

    Clicking on google search results won't open automatically new tabs in firefox 6.0.2, although it was working until today!

    Did you check the Google settings via the gear icon at the top left of the Google site to make sure that you still have selected that feature?

  • Google search results won't open in a new window

    I like to have Google search results open in a new tab and, until recently, using Google's settings allowed me to do that. But now if I click a lik in search results, it opens the page in the same window. In other words, FF "refuses" to obey Google's preferences.

    Firefox should divert the new window to a new tab when you check this box in Google's Search Settings:
    "Open search results in a new browser window"
    I can't think of any reason for Firefox to divert a new window back into ''the same tab''.
    In case one of your add-ons is the culprit, could you try Firefox's Safe Mode?
    First, I recommend backing up your Firefox settings in case something goes wrong. See [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Backing+up+your+information Backing up your information]. (You can copy your entire Firefox profile folder somewhere outside of the Mozilla folder.)
    Next, restart Firefox using Help>Restart with Add-ons Disabled. Don't check any of the boxes in the [https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode Safe Mode] dialog, just Continue in Safe Mode.
    Does it make any difference?

  • Stop Firefox from reverting back to Google Search Results when opening a page from results list

    When I click on one of the results from a Google search, I have it open the page in a new window. The page opens in the new window just fine, but instead of letting me view the page in the new window, Firefox takes me back to the Google Search results page. I am able to click on the new window and view the page that I chose, but it gets old being sent back to the search results each time I click on one of them and attempt to view it.
    This happens on my work PC, home laptop, and my desktop at home as well. I have different versions running on each machine, and home laptop has the latest version of Firefox. I have searched the web and cannot find anyone having this same problem, much less a resolution, so I will ask here.
    I hope this makes sense, if more info is needed please let me know.
    Thanks to anyone that can help.

    One reason for this can be if the new window contains Flash media, but Flash hasn't been used for several minutes, the Adobe protected mode feature changes the order of the windows. This is a bug that Adobe has yet to fix. This thread describes the problem in more details and lists the known workarounds: [https://support.mozilla.org/questions/955659 Opening New Windows and Shockwave Flash].
    If you rule out the Flash issue, could you test the page in Firefox's Safe Mode? That's a standard diagnostic tool to deactivate extensions and some advanced features of Firefox. More info: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]].
    You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using either:
    * "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
    * Help menu > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
    Not all add-ons are disabled: Flash and other plugins still run
    After Firefox shuts down, a small dialog should appear. Click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Reset).
    Any difference?

    Please help me on this issue.<br />
    Thanks in advance.

    Google normally routs the result link to their safe browsing testing service via an onmousedown event that modifies the link (href attribute) if you click it once.
    You can check if this bookmarklet makes a difference:
    <pre><nowiki>javascript:(function(){var e=document.querySelectorAll('#search a[onmousedown]'),E,i;for(i=0;E=e[i];i++){E.removeAttribute('onmousedown')}})()</nowiki></pre>
    Do a malware check with several malware scanning programs on the Windows computer.
    Please scan with all programs because each program detects different malware.
    All these programs have free versions.
    Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.

  • Google search results acting are not showing up right after FF update

    So after I updated FF from 12 to 13 my Google search results have been weird whether I search from the homepage, tool bar or from Google.com. For example if I were to search " Avatar: The Last Airbender wiki" you would expect the Wikipedia page for the show to be the first result but this is what ends up showing up:
    [http://img233.imageshack.us/img233/8020/firefoxproblem2.jpg Image of search results]
    But if I were to search in Private Browsing mode this is what I get:
    [http://img585.imageshack.us/img585/9794/firefoxproblem.jpg Private browsing search]
    Same search yet it yields to different results and I tried it in IE and Chrome and the search is working just fine in both of those as well. The problem seems to only be when I search for something in FF normally.
    If anyone can shed some light into why this is happening I would be grateful, since I prefer FF to anything else.

    you could try to [[Clear the cache - Delete temporary Internet files to fix common website issues|clear the cache]] & [[Delete cookies to remove the information websites have stored on your computer|cookies from google.com]] and reload the page.

  • Resize Google search results

    Why can't I resize google search results in safari?
    Doesn't matter if it's search results or even google.com/news
    I can't resize the results. I can zoom in on the links when I click them, but the results are too small for me to read. Same problem with facebook
    BTW .. fwiw, it it works on the G1

    You can't resize the search results because Google optimized the pages for iPhone. That means that Google automatically senses that you're visiting the page from iPhone and automatically resizes the page.
    But it is not happening every time. Sometimes Google give you an big page which is resizable but nowadays the resized pages are more common.

  • [Solved] Conkeror google search results mode

    Hey,
    I've been using conkeror for some time now and I really enjoy
    conkeror's support for mouseless browsing. In google search mode
    Conkeror allows you to use 1-9 to select a link in your google search
    results. However, when I want to look at a second page of search
    results, I reach the mouse to do that (since the follow
    command in the google search mode only shows numbers to your search
    results). But that doesn't seem very efficient. So, what I'm wondering
    if any of you know how I can select another page of search results
    without having to reach the mouse (while in the google search mode).
    I've looked at Conkeror's website about the google search mode but I
    couldn't find any info about that there. Any ideas?
    Thanks!

    That works beautifully. That will make my life much better
    I've also noticed that if you change "next" for "previous" you can
    also see previous pages.
    Another related question: after you do a google search and you want to
