Vimeo Channel Plugin

[Luke 42077]

we're doing our best to get them to work with MBC. Unfortunately WMC is a 10 yr old player and doesn't really handle on the fly transcoding very well.

so the plug ins dont actually work then?

[Luke 42077]

they work great in all other clients that support them.  In MBC, it is a work in progress and we improving it with each release.

@@snazy2000,  just updated MBS to the latest beta 3.0.5306.42925. Uninstalled vimeo removed the .xml from the plugins\configuration folder to make sure of a fresh start. Re-installed vimeo, set the access password and....  still the same. Cannot play any videos in the Vimeo plugin. Any other ideas?

[snazy2000 344]

Im looking in to it. I think vimeo may have changed there website so the plugin may need re making :/

[jordy 284]

snazy - are you web scraping to get this or using an API?

[Luke 42077]

there's an api

[snazy2000 344]

I'm using the api but the api doesn't return the video file so have to do fetch that from a different url which seemed to have changed.

Are personal channels working for you in vimeo?

[snazy2000 344]

I will take a look when home

I think this plugin needs an update to work with current server builds. Running a video through the PlaybackManager now produces a NoCompatibleStream error. it was working a few weeks ago and it's been a while since the plugin was updated. I had a quick look at the plugin source and it looks like MediaSources aren't being created when the videos are initially scraped..

[Luke 42077]

Actually this is because some vimeo videos can't be embedded with the public api key but unfortunately we don't find that out until play time when we query vimeo for the actual video URLs. What you see while browsing is just the metadata and at that point we don't have that information. The error message isn't great but that's a side effect of trying to normalize ask these different sources

[Redshirt 1487]

That's disappointing. It's unfortunate that it's out of Emby's control because it's almost all videos (that I've tested) that won't play. Maybe the plugin should be nuked until things change. Thanks for looking regardless.
