Video Sitemap Error
-
Hi
I am using a Video snippet and this error was generated about the duration tag. Can someone tell me how to fix it? and will this error prevent snippet to work on the sear results?
Thanks Mozzers!

Thank you Federico!

No, it shouldn't mess with the snippet. Snippets aren't created from the content of the XML feed, but from the video markup in the site. The sitemap only allows Google to easily identify the videos in your site.
As for the robots.txt question, there's no need to specify the video sitemap location, you can if you want, but that won't give you any "boost". Regardless if the videos are youtube hosted or not.

Thanks Federico!
Do you think that this error would prevent the rich snippet from showing up in the SERP? Because before I implement code into the page I tested the snippet on http://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/richsnippets an no errors was showing up!
Other question: since this video is a youtube video do I have to add a video sitemap line in the robots.txt or not?
Thanks!

Value of the duration tag must be in seconds. In your example it should be "98". The duration tag accepts from 0 to 28800 (8 hours).

There was a problem loading this page. Please make sure the page is loading properly and that our user-agent, rogerbot, is not blocked from accessing this page." I checked robots.txt file, it all looks fine. Not sure what is the problem? Is it a problem with Moz or the website?0 -
Hreflang Errors 404 vs "Page Not Found"
For a websites that differ between catalogs (PDPs) what hreflang error causes the least harm? Obviously the best solution is to only have hreflang for shared products, but this takes more work to implement. So when no identical product exists... 1. Hreflang points to 404 or 410 error. 2. Hreflang points to 200 status "Page Not Found" page. This obviously has the additional issue of needing to point back to 100+ urls. I want to avoid having Google decide to ignore all hreflang due to errors as many correct urls will exist. Any thoughts?

No-return tag error
Am receiving a no-return tag error on Search Console for pages in our site that are unrelated. Originating Page: https://www.eginnovations.com/in-the-news/performance-assurance-a-key-to-virtual-desktop-success Alternate URL: https://www.eginnovations.com/fr/ There is a link to the /fr/ page in the language version at the top of the page but I can't figure out why this would be throwing an error from the originating page.
