Hi Phil,
I've always appreciated reading your comments to others but I wanted to reach out to you with a question.
We are having a similar issue with our Wistia video's not being indexed (it's been several months). The funny thing is that our videos, which are hosted by Wistia, used to be indexed before we launched our responsive design site upgrade. The older version had the video near the top of the page, but it was under a "tab". The new version, the video is down a lot farther (to make room for our product options), but it is no longer in a tab. http://www.hairbowcenter.com/ribbon/grosgrain-ribbon/hbc-solid-grosgrain-ribbon/browse-by-width-hbc-grosgrain/3-grosgrain-ribbon-solid-hbc-75mm.html
We noticed that the video's themselves do show up when you view the page as google. If you look at the cached page, the video is there along with the closed captioning.
We have had several opinions as to what could cause the issue:
1) Video is too far down on the page. We are not quite sure how to fix this as it would further push down our products and this is primarily a e-commerce page
2) Video sitemap is hosted at Wistia: I"m not sure if this would matter as it seems to work for everyone else and it used to work for us. We have a roboxt.txt file pointing to Wistia.
If you have any thoughts on what the issue might be, I'd love to hear them.Thanks
