Add schema.org markup to a video from Brightcove?

Question

Im embedding videos with brightcove. Google recommends that videos use schema.org markup:

https://developers.google.com/webmasters/videosearch/sitemaps

I can add most of this markup in my site however im not sure how to show "Raw video file URL and/or the video player URL". Does the brightcove API allow for this? I would have thought that this would be a common thing to do but I cant find any documentation on it.

Brightcove have provided their own Schema.org generator - http://docs.brightcove.com/en/video-cloud/cms-api/samples/schema-tool.html

Regarding the embedURL item, you can generate it using the endpoint below (you can also see this in their generator):
