Sitemap errors 
Author: Vedat G.Hi,
It seems like sitemap is giving some errors on video files I believe.
When I do a sitemap check at http://www.xmlcheck.com/checkurl.php I am getting a lot of the following erors.
Error 1871: Element '{http://www.google.com/schemas/sitemap-video/1.1}content_loc': This element is not expected. Expected is ( {http://www.google.com/schemas/sitemap-video/1.1}thumbnail_loc ). in http://www.gurtan.com/sitemap.xml on line 25 column 0Error 1871: Element '{http://www.google.com/schemas/sitemap-video/1.1}content_loc': This element is not expected. Expected is ( {http://www.google.com/schemas/sitemap-video/1.1}thumbnail_loc ). in http://www.gurtan.com/sitemap.xml on line 83 column 0Error 1871: Element '{http://www.google.com/schemas/sitemap-video/1.1}content_loc': This element is not expected.

Hello Vedat,
Every checker gives different results and you need to check on google directly if you get errors because they are the ones that processes the sitemap to index it. Check if you get errors in the google webmaster too.
Please keep me updated.

Hi Claudio,
Google Webmasters is OK for this sitemap, I have no warnings. But if I check the other sitemap I have on the site it is ok with this one too, because there are no videos. The erors are coming from the videos in the sitemap.

Hello Vedat,
You have to trust only google since the format is defined by google and they will use it to index it. Third party websites can give different results and they are not always true.
Many thanks!
