<b>Video sitemap: required fields or it's invalid</b>
Miss one required tag and the whole video entry is dropped, not warned.
Required per <code><video:video></code>:
— ✅ <code><video:thumbnail_loc></code> — a real, reachable image.
— ✅ <code><video:title></code> — matches the on-page title.
— ✅ <code><video:description></code> — ≤ 2,048 characters.
— ✅ One of <code><video:content_loc></code> OR <code><video:player_loc></code>.
Validation steps:
Step 1 — Confirm thumbnail returns 200 and is a supported format.
Step 2 — Confirm content_loc is the raw file (mp4), player_loc is the embed.
Step 3 — Keep <code><video:duration></code> between 1 and 28,800 seconds if present.
Threshold: zero entries missing a required tag.
Definition of done: each video entry has thumbnail + title + description + one location, all reachable.
