[RELEASE] Vimeo (Video) Plugin - De facto default standard Vimeo Addon for XBMC

New version out to fix problems with install from zip, latest version is 0.6.1:

Changelog:
- Fixed zip file to make install from zip possible again, and reduced install size by 50%

I have tested it on osx and a linux install and installation works fine there, but i don't have a windows machine to test on so there might or might not be problems there.

Soo, I was playing with this plugin today, and accidentially discovered that certain videos are now unplayable, seems Vimeo has added more of what I guess are cross site scripting checks in their code to keep people away from their videos.

I will look into a solution to this problem, but until then be warned that certain clips might not play.

Thanks for the excellent plugin.

I have problem/question. In the General settings for the plugin, if I set the "Max video quality" setting to 720p, the plugin will only play videos that are minimum 720p. i.e. it won't revert to a lower resolution video if there is no 720p available. It took me a while to figure out why many of the videos wouldn't play. :-)

Is it possible to have the plugin fall back to a lower resolution video if the 720p resolution is not available?

Alternatively, if I set the "Max video quality" to SD Only, it will only play the lower resolution version of a video, even if a 720p version is available.

Thanks!
Todd

P.S. Maybe this is related to your comment yesterday about some videos not playing?

Hi, thanks for the hint, and yup you're right, this seems to be the same problem i was experiencing with playback not working.

You just saved me a great deal of pain trying to debug this issue against vimeo

Just pushed a pull request through the usual channels with a bugfix for the video playback issue, The latest version is Version 1.0.1 and should be available in the repo once some xbmc dev's get around to it.

Glad I could help. I just updated to 1.0.1 and it's working spiffy!

Thanks

How can I easily watch my own Vimeo videos I uploaded? Is there any API hook to show those? When you login on the site it is the "My Stuff" tab.

Ehm, if you allow the plugin to log in it should be visble under my videos.

Well, I've logged in and never seen a my videos. I'll try the latest on the code page and see.

Okay here is a log from XBMC where I try to login and see my videos using vs 1.0.1. I keep seeing login in the list. Each time I use it to login and I get the notification that I am logged in, but the login entry is still in the item list and I see no "My Videos". "My Videos" is also not hidden in the addon options.
