Turns out the API returns purchase items with empty play objects:

"play": {
  "status": "purchase_required"

It would be nice to have a default search filter (suffix).

Example

• Search template: -trump
• Search input: us election
• Search: us election -trump

This is on a Kodi v18.7 running LibreELEC v9.2.3 on a Raspberry Pi 3B.

If 1080p is set, but it is not available as a Vimeo stream, the plugin takes the first stream from the list (which often has bad quality).

The plugin should select the next best quality instead.

By using this script, some of the boilerplate code could be removed.

Acceptance criteria

• Context menu on videos shows a Like button if user is logged in
  • If video is liked, it is added to Likes and a success-message is displayed
• Context menu on videos shows a Watch later button if user is logged in
  • If video is liked, it is added to "Watch later"-list and a success-message is displayed

More info

Should disliking also be supported?

I noticed the plugin crash when trying to play the recording of a finished livestream; the logs says "Api JSON seems to be invalid".

Debugging showed the "type" slot of the result object was "live", not "video", so I changed this line from

if "type" in json_obj and json_obj["type"] == "video":

to:

if "type" in json_obj and json_obj["type"] in ("video", "live"):

This fixed the issue for me; I can play both ongoing livestreams as well as recordings of past streams.

The info view should display a thumbnail and a title of the video.

It would be great if it would be possible to use the video on demand service by vimeo (including buying)

Thanks

If i have time i will search a bit but i do not have experience with kodi/paying

I am interested to call a channel from another add-on. We already do this for YouTube where our VOD channels are enhanced by linking to the broadcaster's YouTube content. We now have the same need for Vimeo content from one specific broadcaster.

Is there any documentation on how to call the Vimeo add-on from another add-on to perform certain tasks?

In our own add-on we documented this in the Wiki like this.

Vimeo supports subtitles and those should be available in Kodi.

Example: https://vimeo.com/channels/staffpicks/611372477

The plugin should be tested with a Kodi Python 3 test build.

Currently blocked by xbmc/xbmc#16116. (Kodi 19 still ships with Python 2.7 and there are no Python 3 builds for Ubuntu 18.04.)

When settings are set to 720p, addon will still play at whatever the highest resolution the video is available in.
Even if the inputstream addon is also set to 720p, vimeo addon will still play at 4k if video is available at 4k.

Describe the bug

When you add a video with JSON-RPC, the video is duplicated in the playlist.

To Reproduce

1. In Kodi, Allow remote control via HTTP (Settings / Services / Control).
2. Execute (by changing the IP address):
3. curl -d '{ "jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": "Playlist.Clear", "params": { "playlistid": 1 }, "id": 1 }' -H 'Content-type: application/json' -X POST 127.0.0.1:8080/jsonrpc

{ "id": 1, "jsonrpc": "2.0", "result": "OK" }

4. curl -d '{ "jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": "Playlist.Add", "params": { "playlistid": 1, "item": { "file": "plugin://plugin.video.vimeo/play/?video_id=306834650" } }, "id": 2 }' -H 'Content-type: application/json' -X POST 127.0.0.1:8080/jsonrpc

{ "id": 2, "jsonrpc": "2.0", "result": "OK" }

5. curl -d '{ "jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": "Playlist.GetItems", "params": { "playlistid": 1, "properties": ["file"] }, "id": 3 }' -H 'Content-type: application/json' -X POST 127.0.0.1:8080/jsonrpc

{
    "id": 3,
    "jsonrpc": "2.0",
    "result": {
        "items": [{
            "file": "plugin://plugin.video.vimeo/play/?video_id=306834650",
            "label": "play",
            "type": "unknown"
        }],
        "limits": { "end": 1, "start": 0, "total": 1 }
    }
}

6. curl -d '{ "jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": "Player.Open", "params": { "item": { "playlistid": 1 } }, "id": 4 }' -H 'Content-type: application/json' -X POST 127.0.0.1:8080/jsonrpc

{ "id": 4, "jsonrpc": "2.0", "result": "OK" }

7. curl -d '{ "jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": "Playlist.GetItems", "params": { "playlistid": 1, "properties": ["file"] }, "id": 5 }' -H 'Content-type: application/json' -X POST 127.0.0.1:8080/jsonrpc

{
    "id": 5,
    "jsonrpc": "2.0",
    "result": {
        "items": [{
            "file": "plugin://plugin.video.vimeo/play/?video_id=306834650",
            "label": "play",
            "type": "unknown"
        }, {
            "file": "plugin://plugin.video.vimeo/play/?uri=%2Fvideos%2F306834650&texttracks=",
            "label": "Eddy De Pretto - Random",
            "type": "unknown"
        }],
        "limits": {"end": 2, "start": 0, "total": 2 }
    }
}

Environment

• Kodi version: 19.4
• OSMC version: 2022.03-1
• Vimeo add-on version: 6.0.1

Additional info

This is the first video that is played: curl -d '{ "jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": "Player.GetProperties", "params": { "playerid": 1, "properties": ["position"] }, "id": 6 }' -H 'Content-type: application/json' -X POST 127.0.0.1:8080/jsonrpc

{ "id": 6, "jsonrpc": "2.0", "result": { "position": 0 } }

Since using the new endpoint for video URLs, videos are not marked as watched anymore.

This is because the video URLs are now containing the direct media links. But they are not unique, because they contain information that changes on every request:

plugin://plugin.video.vimeo/play/?uri=https%3A%2F%2Fvimeo-prod-skyfire-std-us.storage.googleapis.com%2F01%2F4582%2F15%2F397912933%2F1694765585.mp4%3FGoogleAccessId%3DGOOGLW2TRT7BCCZZO5AX%26Expires%3D1584920570%26Signature%3DtFW37V0YfLKSYeH%252F%252FZSE5ppE5lc%253D
plugin://plugin.video.vimeo/play/?uri=https%3A%2F%2Fvimeo-prod-skyfire-std-us.storage.googleapis.com%2F01%2F4582%2F15%2F397912933%2F1694765585.mp4%3FGoogleAccessId%3DGOOGLW2TRT7BCCZZO5AX%26Expires%3D1584920607%26Signature%3DXsal05srESsMjdRh7m8UXYA40pE%253D

The Expires and Signature param change on every request.

Description

As a Vimeo plugin user I want to be able to login to my user account, so I can see my own videos and other details from my profile page.

Acceptance criteria

• A Login item is shown in the root view if no user is authenticated
• If the Login item is selected, a user can authenticate with a device code (https://developer.vimeo.com/api/authentication#understanding-auth-workflows)
• If a user is authenticated, a My profile item is shown in the root view
• If a user is authenticated, a Logout item is shown in the root view
• If the My profile item is selected, a list with the items Videos, Likes, Followers, Following, Channels, Groups is shown

Notes

Think of a way to protect the Vimeo API secrets. The Vimeo API secret from the Android App will be used.

Hi jaylinski,

I installed the vimeo addon version 5.2.0 in kodi 18.4. I wanted to login to vimeo, because I have purchased videos on my personal account there. But it failed to show the OK dialogbox.
kodi.log notified an exception that unicode characters could not be translated with the ascii encoder in resources/plugin.py line 179.
This is due to the fact that in line 177 in 5.2.0 (l'ine3="{}\n{}".format('...) the template string gets filled with localized strings which contain unicode characters.
I finally fixed it by making the template string unicode as well ('line3=u"{}\n{}".format('...). Then I could successfully activate your addon to use my account and watch my purchased video.

So, I suggest you to make the template string in the master branch unicode the same way at the position:

because I guess, it will fail, as well!

Yours, sincerely

Hey,
I would like to add the possiblity to manually type Vimeo video ID so I could play the video like in the browser on the URL: https://player.vimeo.com/video/<VIDEO_ID>.
Perhaps it is possible by this: plugin://plugin.video.vimeo/play/?video_id=1 but it's not possible using the addon user interface (as far as I'm concerned).
I cannot do this by typing the ID in "Search" field, because it doesn't return any results.

Hello,

I would like to report a bug: I am not able to videos anymore from on Kodi 18.9 with add-on version 5.2.0.
The navigation in the categories works though.

On MacOS 10.11.6, the error makes Kodi crash and the log is not very clear about this:
https://paste.nomagic.uk/?82894fdbf4b380cd#HzH292SbXjCHZpnDZMS69LGG24Jjr3LbXAD2Eq2SmfV1

On OSMC/RPi 3, Kodi do not crash and the error is the following:
https://paste.nomagic.uk/?fdf3e869e98e1ff1#HyiUujUXr2GypKp52D7gpV4FG1obct1iPrK5AveX81bu

Do you confirm the issue on your side?

Thanks in advance for your support!

Seems there are videos without HLS streams, which will crash the plugin.

See: https://api.vimeo.com/videos?query=Zygote Balls at BIP&per_page=20&fields=name,play

There should be fallback to the progressive stream.

Ref: https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=220437&pid=2927974#pid2927974

This add-on has some advantages in contrast to the ffmpeg decoder, so it would be nice to use it.

This could also be an opportunity to add DASH as a supported video format.

https://github.com/peak3d/inputstream.adaptive

Videos with the "Who can watch"-setting of People with the private link or Hide this video from vimeo.com can't be played.

Ref: https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=220437&pid=2977297#pid2977297

Example video: https://vimeo.com/355062058/5293454954

The search result for people currently only shows videos. It should also show collections and groups of the user.

I guess there was something with xbmc.translatePath to xbmcvfs.translatePath for Python 3

Thanks

Hello,

I have just installed the add-on and when I try to play a video, it seems the video is about to start (title and play symbol on the top-right corner of the screen) but then it stops and the video never plays. I tried with 3 different videos and the result is the same.

Here is my system information:

• MacOS 10.11.6
• Kodi Leia 18.6
• Vimeo add-on v5.1.3

And the log: https://paste.kodi.tv/ifehisotoy.kodi

I hope I gave you enough information for you to analyze this issue :)
Thank you in advance for your help !

unfortunately I get a runtime error when trying to cast video from browser on windows-PC to kodi ("cast kodi"-addon for Firefox). The video is a vimeo one. you find examples under

There is an API endpoint for categories. Would be a nice addition to the "Featured" section.

The (hex) color of the icon does not match the official hex color.

Greetings,
With all the "fun news" going on in the world right now, I've had a lot more events/people begin live streaming over Vimeo. I've never used Vimeo much before, but I use Kodi near daily. When I found this plugin I was super ecstatic to watch on my big screen instead of my laptop. Works perfectly for all the pre-recorded videos that I've watched. Fails every time when I try to watch any live stream. This morning I asked a buddy who has a Vimeo premium account if he'd do some testing with me. Before he started a live stream, I could search for his account and watch any of his videos. As soon as he started a live stream it crashed, and it crashed every time I tried to look at his channel no matter how I did it. The moment he stopped his live stream, I could view his videos again.

According to Kodi, I've got the latest version of the plugin. I only have Raspberry Pi4's (4Gb memory versions) running Libreelec (latest version) to test Kodi on right now: LibreELEC (official): 9.2.1 (RPi4.arm)

The most informative error that I could find (also almost identical every time it crashes) is:

I didn't see anyone else reporting this problem. If you have another stream you want me to test on, please let me know. I can also try bumping up all the debugging options too if it helps.
Thanks!

Videos don't have a sound anymore. It seems Vimeo changed something.

I need F4mproxy and f4mtester in python 3 and compatible with kodi 19+
https://mega.nz/folder/Xpx1mSzb#zMUUtAJC0wqhASkWu1_MKw

According to https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=351745, plugins will only be available in Kodi v19 if they

• bump the xbmc.python dependency to 3.0.0 in the addon.xml file
• are re-submitted to the Matrix branch

TODO

• Create a Krypton branch to be able to backport fixes
• Add a Matrix bagde to the README
• Strip Python 2 compatibility stuff (script.module.future)
• Use new settings format (https://kodi.wiki/view/Add-on_settings_conversion)
• Use with syntax for files: xbmc/xbmc@0775d52
• Remove future package from Pipfile, update Python requirement to 3.6 and update README accordingly
• Update vimeo.py to latest version (https://github.com/vimeo/vimeo.py)
• Add Python 3.6 and 3.9 to test matrix
• Submit plugin to the Matrix branch
• Create a new release

Thanks to @idleloop-github for making me aware of this by forking the repo (next time please also open an issue 😃).

Currently there is only a way to hide the search history by setting the search history to 0 in the settings. This does not actually delete the search history until a new search is submitted.

It would be nice to have a Rename and Remove button in the context menu (like the YouTube addon has).
