How exactly does the included Vimeo.lua script work? I've tried playing a feed from Vimeo(this) but it didn't work.

The format of 'http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=10369592' cannot be detected. Have a look at the log for details.

Do I have to modify or install a new script?

The lua script must be upgraded. But no one is working on actually. If you have some time and know how lua works, you can do it and then send a patch.

this seems to work for now:

Code: Select all

function probe()
	if vlc.access ~= "http"
	then
		return false
	end
	if string.match(vlc.path, "vimeo.com/%d") 
	then
		return true
	else
		return false
	end
end
	
function parse()
	while true do
		line = vlc.readline()
		if not line then break end
		_,_,id = string.find(vlc.path, "vimeo.com/(.*)")
		if string.match(line, "config:.*") then
			_,_,sig = string.find(line, "signature\":\"(.*)\",\"timestamp")
			_,_,timestamp = string.find(line, ",\"timestamp\":(.*),\"referrer")
			_,_,name = string.find(line, "video\":.*\"title\":\"(.*)\",\"width")
			_,_,artist = string.find(line, "owner\":{\"name\":\"(.*)\",\"portrait")
		end
	end
	return {{path = "http://player.vimeo.com/play_redirect?quality=sd&codecs=h264&clip_id="..id.."&time="..timestamp.."&sig="..sig.."&type=html5_desktop_local"; name = name; artist = artist}}
end

lamosca,

Thanks x1000. It works and without and sort of choppy playback or lagging on my system. It's perfect.

actually the old script works as well and it's much better because it gets both hd and sd videos. i just didn't test the old one before writing a new one. the issue was that vimeo was blocking vlc from accessing the site, but i guess they stopped blocking it now that vlc doesn't come bundled with the vimeo script or something.
