here is what fixed my issues from yoast

NewsPaper v7.3. We then investigated the issue and discovered that in order to make the Video SEO recognize the Vimeo video on a post, required exactly two saves. To make the Video SEO not recognize the Vimeo video, required exactly three saves.

We then went to SEO->Video SEO and did a Force Reindex. This resulted in all your videos appearing on your sitemap: http://trophypursuit.wpengine.com/video-sitemap.xml.

We are not sure if NewsPaper 7 is affecting the Video SEO plugin’s ability to find the Featured Video field and scan it. We are not sure if they are conflicting. We do know that for the plugin to pick-up videos, that it sometimes requires a force reindex. We do know that you should not expect to always do this to make the Video SEO pick-up the featured video field.

To resolve the issue we suggest the following
Add a new video on a new post and see if the Video SEO plugin automatically picks it up.
If it does not, do a force reindex and see if it picks it up.
If it does, then let us know that the plugin is requiring a Force reindex each time to pick-up the video. We may need to investigate further and create an issue report for our developers. If it doesn’t let us know too.

Now This is even more interesting when i take the video OUT of my Featured Video tag the SEO Pops up with td_post_video,…. im talking to Yoast as well…

SO i tried this solution… with out any luck

Now I’m adding these name into Custom Fields Under General Settings inside the Video SEO

I looked with inspector

<input style=”width: 100%;” type=”text” name=”td_post_video[td_video]” value=”https://vimeo.com/180729545″&gt;

I see where you got that name in the html and it “td_post_video[td_video]”. Then I tryed the fallowing list one at a time.

td_post_video
.td_post_video
td_post_video,
.td_post_video,
td_post_video[td_video]
.td_post_video[td_video]
td_post_video[td_video],
.td_post_video[td_video],
[td_video]
[td_video],
.[td_video],

This was without any prevail and yes i was hitting save and reload after all changes… is there something dumb i’m missing i’m missing

So with Yoast-Video you can add in custom field names. I think the way to get this to work is adding the name of the custom field of the video into Yoast-Video.

Ok you just Blew my mind! i LOVE not having to play with PHP!
