Logos302 86 Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 Ok I'm sure it's simple but how does one get the authentication code for the Vimeo plugin? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logos302 86 Posted May 31, 2014 Author Share Posted May 31, 2014 Figure it out. You enter the Vimeo Token URL in to a browser and follow the links and it gives you the authentication code. Think this needs work on the instructions part . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ebr 14913 Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 You didn't indicate you were using MBC/WMC so they assumed you were using the web client. That's why they asked about what browser. If you are getting that error it is almost certainly a codec problem. I'd uninstall all codec packs and install LAV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37071 Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 cover art is server-side now and works with all of your media browser apps. explore the web interface Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuzzypiglet 8 Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 ah i found it all, it was well hidden - thanks for telling me where to look. By LAV, do you mean this: https://code.google.com/p/lavfilters/ ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuzzypiglet 8 Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 I don't actually have any codec packs installed. What is LAV? Also could I just quickly ask where did all the options go for cover art? You used to be able to select different treatments but I have no options at all. I installed it via the server and there are no options in classic. There is a page in the server but all it has is an option to ignore some folders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuzzypiglet 8 Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 (edited) and indicate what browserBrowser? It's a plug-in. I can't play anything on Vimeo or vevo. I get a pop up saying "cannot play video. WMC cannot connect to the server. The server name may be incorrect or the server is busy. Try again later". Where should I look for the error log? If it's in the programdata\mediabrowser-classic\logs folder I checked and nothing was written to a log file and I do have the logging option turned on in the configuration Edited July 9, 2014 by fuzzypiglet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14913 Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 Yes. Install that and your channel should play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fuzzypiglet 8 Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 Hi I had k-lite codec pack installed so I removed it and installed the LAV filters but I'm still getting the error. Are you sure it's the codecs that are at fault? I can't play anything on the Vimeo or vevo plug ins. The error is; I get a pop up saying "cannot play video. WMC cannot connect to the server. The server name may be incorrect or the server is busy. Try again later". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14913 Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 That is a generic error from WMC. 95% of the time it is a codec problem. Can you play trailers from the trailers channel? Or podcasts from the podcasts one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jordy 284 Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 (edited) Hi all, I am having problems playing anything in Vimeo. I can see the video icons but when i try to play them, I get the video screen and the little rotating circle indicating that something is/should be happening but nothing ever plays. I have other channels installed and their videos play fine, just not Vimeo. I have also tried different streaming speeds but nothing works. There are no error messages either. MBS ver 3.0.52898.18702 I am running latest version of Firefox (30.0) and can play Vimeo stuff fine if I go directly to the site without using MB. Any ideas? thanks Edited July 12, 2014 by jordy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jordy 284 Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 yes, from several different channels. When I fist loaded the plugin I could play some videos but not all. Now i cannot play any. I have uninstalled and re-installed several times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snazy2000 342 Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 Can you try Redoing the config access code Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jordy 284 Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 That would be the 3rd or 4th time I have re-done the access code and unfortunately there is no difference. I have just tried again - successfully playing a Vimeo video in Firefox and then trying and failing to play the same one through MBS immediately (on the same machine) afterwards.
