Schema markup for video playlists?
-
We're adding schema markup for all of our videos, but some videos exist only in a playlist (all integrated into one URL, and loaded after a javascript call). Per Google:
"Make sure that your video and schema.org markup are visible without executing any JavaScript or Flash."

So we know the current implementation won't work for schema markup...
What's the best practice for adding schema markup for video playlists? Should we host all of these videos on individual URLs (but then they appear twice) or is there some other workaround?
-
If you won't want to adjust the technical implementation of the videos - I'd recommend just using an XML video sitemap, rather than Schema.org mark up to provide metadata about your videos.
You can use the gallery_loc tag to account for playlists.
