Vimeo iPhone App in the Vimeo Feature Requests Forum

Because of the weird flash policy by apple there is no possibility to use vimeo (except the community stuff) on the iPhone/iPod touch. But the widescreendisplay should be perfect for vimeo videos.
What about a vimeo application? Or is it unlikely that apple accepts a non-youtube-application?

When h.264 becomes more viable for us, you bet your booty we'll be all over the iPhone.

I think he meant "bet" ... unless he really was saying you should "be your booty" which leaves quite a bit of room for interpretation.

Sounds promising. Not the being my booty, but the "sometimes" thing :)

How about just a webapp, like iphone.6.cn?
Daniel Madaler 1 month ago

As far as i understand the webapps: no. Because you still need flash. And it seems that Adobe and Apple won't talk about that again soon.

you'd need to make all the vids available in a format other than flv, no? Sounds nasty.

a vimeo iphone app would be sweet...

There is a solution out there - episodic will take any existing video RSS feed and convert the videos to H.264 AND make an iPhone-compatible page to access them. See an example here (access with iPhone or iPod touch): iphone.episodic.com/thebenshow and sign up for free here: iphoneapp.episodic.com/users/new

and yes, the service appears to work fine with Vimeo RSS feeds

Maybe could you simply send h.264 when client is using an iPhone?

Another vote for a Vimeo app. At least you could allow those videos that people uploaded as h264 to be viewable. I upload all my videos using h264 now.

Youtube has started adding a feature that when it detects the embed code for one of it's videos is being served up to an iPhone, it replaces the flash embed code with quicktime embed code, and streams the h.264 video directly. Oddly enough though, it only works for videos embedded offsite.

you guys wouldn't have to upload in h.264. Vimeo would have a service running on their servers that would query it's database every week, lets say, and find all the new videos that have been uploaded. It would then take that list, toss it in a que and then convert each video to the h.264 format. Those converted video would then be put in a separate directory that the iPhone App calls to, and the video would be displayed to the iPhone client.

It's a bit harder than it sounds, but could easily be integrated with the right development team.
