New embed code

Hi, I have a free vimeo account and I need to remove the playbar with the controls and vimeo add to my company..

If I buy vimeo plus, Can I remove this playbar embed?

Thanks much

Hi Brad,

I do have one problem. I have to manually edit the embed code to remove the embed part of it as XHTML 1.1 validators don´t like it. With that in the code, my site (or page where the video is showed) won't validate. You could put a checkbox we could uncheck to remove that part and include one more line in the line. The following complete embed code works great for me:

object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=4971809&server=vimeo.com&show_title=1&show_byline=1&show_portrait=0&color=&fullscreen=1"; width="400" height="300"
param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /
param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /
param name="movie" value="vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=4971809&server=vimeo.com&show_title=1&show_byline=1&show_portrait=0&color=&fullscreen=1"; /
/object

*** I TOOK OUT THE < and > SO THE CODE WILL DISPLAY ***

As you can see I need to manually take the EMBEDE part out and add the "TYPE" and "DATA" attributes to the object tag. Easy for you to do ;)

Cheers,

I have a video with HD embedding enabled for superfad.com. It works with the cut and paste code, but only shows in SD when using oembed.

Here's an example page:

superfad.com/beta/superfad/vimeotest

helloo ,, is there away to allow our video viewers to play video and be able to make the playbar more flexible soo viewers can move in time frame like youtube .

Regards

Brad
this change in code has shot down our main player on our homepage. i need to fix this asap as im leaving the usa for the next 5 days.

enochmagazine.com

what do i need to change to make this work

i beleive the prob is something with oemebed code you changed on your end. even the simple php code example you provide no longer works. i am replacing the code on the main page with a simple embed code as i will be out of the country but an example can be found on this page on our site.

I am having a HUGE issue with this, video is NOT posting to my blog!

Says the creator has not given permission for this? (I am the 'creator')

I blog using blogger.

Trying to embed here and can't.
help please

I have the no HD issue as talked about above. Only embeds as SD

Another question. One of the PLUS member privacy options is "Hide this video from vimeo.com" which is really nice.

I'm building a simple page that I can share rough-cut video's etc with others and that option is great because those rough-cuts never show up in my Vimeo feed.

However, I can only grab the embed code via oembed. Based on the settings, I should be able to grab the thumbnail, title, etc...

Perhaps I'm misunderstanding the use of the setting "Hide this video from vimeo.com"but i view it as I can get to anything I need to via public API methods, but it doesn't show up anywhere on Vimeo itself.

any chance of opening up oembed to allow title, thumbnail,etc.. for the plus members that have other privacy options?

Hey ! I have downloaded the last version but I have a problem :

I'm making a website in which I want a Vimeo video.

The player works perfectly in local, on my computer. But I try to launch it on a server, it doesn't work and I don't know why.

You can see de link below :
metinarolat.com.tr/test/

If you clic on Multimedia and on the screen on the page, the website will become darker and the video should begin but it doesn't.

I have looked at the Tamper Data and I saw that the video doesn't load any crossdomain.xml. Besides this, it doesn't calla any URL=vimeo.com/moogaloop/load/clip: ... after the first call.

Do you know why ?

Thanks !

Problem resolved !

Hi, I have a problem, actually two problems

the first is I cant start a new topic :) so Im writting to this one

the second problem is I cant find a way to start playing embeded video from the middle, im searching for some parameter like :

start=60 -> to start from one minute ..

I hope you understand my problem :)

thanks for answers

Hi, same problem as Ondra, in that I can't post a new topic. Just hangs.

My real question is, is there a method we can call to pull a videos name/title when using the Moogaloop javsactipt API?

Thanks

I'm wondering, are videos transcoding seen as not found to the embed?
This is misleading. Here's what I'm talking about:
hostthatimage.com/?di=012831328551
As you can see the video ID in the URL below the title is the same as the one used in the embed code. The video exists, but is transcoding.
Edit: It has since finished, and now it exists.
hostthatimage.com/?di=3128316568810

will the API be updated to deliver the new iframe based embed code?

Just to help anyone who might be having issues with the embed code and IE7...

Be sure to declare your DOCTYPE at the top of your HTML document. This was causing major problems for me the past few days before figuring this out. I'm not sure why exactly, perhaps because the vimeo iframe declares a doctype and conflicts with your parent browser if it does NOT declare the doctype, or something.

Anyway, hope this helps some of you.

how can I make the par api work?

I'm passing it to with a url like this:

vimeo.com/api/oembed.xml?url=http://vimeo.com/7100569&api=true

but in the code I don't get any api reminder.
However if I use the old embed code ( vimeo.com/api/oembed.xml?url=http://vimeo.com/7100569&api=true&iframe=false ) it works properly.

Thanks for any reply.

Hello

I'm using oembed with this request url:
http://vimeo.com/api/oembed.xml?url=http%3A//vimeo.com/$id&byline=0&title=0&portrait=0

Very strange thing happens: on certain video it works properly, in some other case (cannot see the difference) i see a alpha:0.75 picture instead of the player.

I checked out the resulting html of one working case and one broken case, both reports the very same html code. What i am using from the response object is the ->html property, that does contain in both cases one iframe with a (apparently) correct source url.

Ops
Forgot to say that disabling iframe mode anything works properly.

Sorry i have not because the site is in production and i have been forced to set iframe=0 in order to make it work

Will let you know if i can reproduce the matter elsewhere

My video is not loading inside our firewall any more. Works externally fine but internally we have issues. We didn't make any changes to the firewall and have changed the video twice before now. It behaves differently inside now every time. Video loads correctly about 1 out of 10 times. Sometimes it's just blank, sometimes it's an all black and enlarged version of our thumbnail, once it even came up with "you must have flash player 10 to view." I have flash player 10. My code is below. Any help you can give would be great.

// This is the URL of the clip you want to load
var clipUrl = 'vimeo.com/14616717';;


// This is the oEmbed endpoint for Vimeo (we're using JSON)
// (Vimeo also supports oEmbed discovery. See the PHP example.)
var endpoint = 'vimeo.com/api/oembed.json';;

// Tell Vimeo what function to call
var callback = 'embedVideo';

// Put together the URL
var url = endpoint + '?url=' + encodeURIComponent(clipUrl) + '&width=200px&height=190px&callback=' + callback;

// This function puts the video on the page
function embedVideo(video) {
document.getElementById('embed').innerHTML = unescape(video.html);
}

// This function loads the data from Vimeo
function init() {
var js = document.createElement('script');
js.setAttribute('type', 'text/javascript');
js.setAttribute('src', url);
document.getElementsByTagName('head').item(0).appendChild(js);
}

// Call our init function when the page loads
window.onload = init;

I have my videos set to "Hide this video from vimeo.com" in the privacy settings and to only show on my site's URL. I am using a Drupal module (emfield) to make the API call.

The problem I am experiencing is that the API response seems truncated with the above privacy settings. I am getting type, version, provider_name, provider_url, html, width, and height in that order.

As a matter of troubleshooting I created a video with no privacy settings and the API call was successful with a complete response.

Any insight would be helpful.

hi! i'm using the oembed api to load your new HTML5 universal player. Well it works great (thx!!), but not on Opera... do I need to load some js or flash component (i'm currently just building the iframe you provide via oembed) ?

With the new iFrame code, is there any way to bring the layer down (z-index)?

We have navigation that is fixed to the top of the page, but when someone scrolls, the Vimeo video layers itself over everything else.

With the old code and some wmode transparent stuff, it works, but we'd really like to use the new code (the new iFrame).

Thanks!
Dan

The byline and portrait options seem to be ignored when setting to false. e.g.
vimeo.com/api/oembed.json?url=http%3A//vimeo.com/{videoID}&portrait=0&byline=0&color=ffffff&width=550

This used to work. Am I missing something?

Vaving problems embedding the new code into wordpress, does not show up at all.

Lib Tech,

are you referring to the oembed code or the embed code that you place to make a video show up (the iframe code)

I would assume the later. WP will auto-embed your vimeo links and auto place the videos in your posts if you just past the vimeo link. But you get the default parameters.

If you are copy/pasting the embed code (iframe) then you will need to install the iframe plugin for worpress. I believe this one will do it:
wordpress.org/extend/plugins/tsl-iframe-unfilter/

WP be default will strip out iframe tags from the visual editor. this plugin over-writes that.

I'm having a problem with the oEmbed library embedding the wrong content.

stovallweems.tv/watch.php

If you look at the iframe embedded, the src attribute has the correct video.

player.vimeo.com/video/15190677

However, within the body of the iframe, the _wrong_ video is being embedded.

I'm not sure why this is the case. Any help troubleshooting/getting the correct video to embed would be appreciated.

Thanks,
-Alex

If this is about the code. It doesn't play in Vista/Safari.

Hey, just wondering why Vimeo switched to the iframe option when it has been defunct for many years now? It won't validate in the "strict" doctype. Do you have links to documentation of how the oEmbed is going to work from vimeo's perspective? And will it validate in "strict"?

I don't know if it's just me or not (could be I suppose) but for some reason, I can't copy the embed code on my MacBook via Safari. It works just fine with Firefox but not Safari.

Did this z-index problem in safari ever get resolved? I've recently updated all of my embedded videos so that my site is ios friendly and just discovered that the vimeo iFrames cover all the other content including navigation fly-outs and fancybox pop-ups.

Any help appreciated.

I want to create a page with some navigation which shows the vimeo video onclick.
When I place the iframe embed code within a hidden area on a page of a client's website it generates a javascript error and won't play when it's shown.

Is there a way to make the embedded Vimeo clip (watched on another site) play in HD automatically when it comes up? Right now the first time, it starts in SD and you have to click the HD button. I didn't see that option in the embed customization section.

Here is a recommendation I received from Developer Justin from Hyrbid themes in regards to iframe:

"Drop-down menus are a common site element, and it's the Vimeo feature that's changing how things would normally work. We can't control how something is displayed if using an iframe, which I would argue is the incorrect element to use. should be the element used on your site.
"

Is there a way to fix the new Vimeo player code to work in an RSS feed?

I am not sure... but it looks like new embed code doesn't work in PowerPoint 2010 - Insert - Insert Video from the WebSite - paste new embed code -
"PowerPoint can't insert video from this embed code. Verify the embed code is correct and try again.
The old one works perfectly!

Could I make always old embed code to appear for my videos for my watchers...

Hello Brad

previously used these lines in my code
bitcast.vimeo.com/vimeo/swf/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=18210453&width=450&height=330&fullscreen=0
ACTIVITY IN BROWSER SAYS PATH NOT FOUND

changed by
Security.allowDomain("vimeo.com/";);

var loader:Loader = new Loader();
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id="; + clip_id + "&width=" + w + "&height=" + h + '&fullscreen=0');
loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onComplete,false,0,true);
loader.load(request);
}

While the url now, but do not see the video in my Flash:
motiv.cl/felmer/

I have a problem with what froogaloop on localhost it works fine, but when sending to the server the player crashes.

What can I do?
