Thanks!

Hi,

The latest svn trunk build (r361 and above) has a work-around about the Vimeo background/AJAX clip list loading. Navigation on all pages should work flawless. Leaving the bug report open for one more week.

Hi, tested with adobe flash (ubuntu 12.04) and totem-vegas (fedora 17) on Firefox 17, it works finally.  Thank you for the great work!

I am wondering though, when you go to vimeo, the first you see is a staff picked video it happens to feature and below there is a list of other staff picks. For the main feature LM works right the way but for the other ones (on the bottom of the page) it doesn't.

If you have adobe flash installed then when you click one of them a window will open and you can click the video's title at the upper left corner and it will bring you to another page with the video and LM does work, but with totem-vegas (don't know how it is with other flash
plugins like gnash) you just get a box with a picture suggesting that totem-vegas has crashed and there is no link to click. You can still watch these videos using the text links on top of the page or click "other staff picks".

Anyway, I am thankful that LM now works on vimeo, thanks again for the great work!

Thanks!

Hi,

I'm assuming you are the same (anonymous) person as in comment #4. Thanks for being consistent and helping to resolve this bug.

Yes, even before Vimeo changed their design the, problem with Totem was the mime-type of the replacement object, because it triggers different sub-plugin in it. I've examined what ViewTube supports Vimeo and had some experiments, but still no luck.

Nothing different than the code I have in my working copy of the repository.

Thanks for reporting this. I'll look it up. It might turn useful.

So far it does not look good. I've tried to use the method in the bash script, but it worked only once and after that I am unable to reach the video stream. Still trying.

The experimental code is still only in my working copy.

Thanks for reporting. This is not new issue, as the behavior was the same few months ago when Vimeo were still preparing their new layout. [1] [2] [3] I just had no time and energy lately to investigate deeper and try to fix it. Sorry.

I remember there were issues with Vimeo and Totem long ago. Then it turned out that some of the Totem plugins (by mime type) were requesting the clip URL with different/custom user agent which prevented loading. This is a comment I've set in one of the source files about this:

    Vimeo web server sends the clips as
    video/mp4. totemNarrowSpace plugin (plays video/mp4)
    sends custom UA. This prevents the video to load. Must
    use video/flv, so totemCone plugin could start and send
    UA of the browser.  totemNarrowSpace/QuickTime plugin
    have other issues as well. Could be forced to
    video/flv, but there is a better fix in
    create_video_object();

I'll see what I can do at the end of the week and will report back.
