[REQ] Vimeo supporting passwords

Some Vimeo videos are password protected and the plug doesn't support downloading.

Not knowing how you do this behind the scenes, I'll ask anyway: is it possible to prompt the user for the password (if one is required) that will allow the plugin to download the video?

Thanks,

In order to check, I guess the staff would like a sample link

I've sent you a PM.

Mate please wait for staff to respond.
I'm just a user.

Fixed in plugin v1.5.1.

What's the fix? Both requiring passwords and requiring accounts?

I just checked and the videos requiring passwords now works - thanks tong2shot.

There is another case, where you need an account. For instance, if you go to the website http://www.patriotcampers.tv/category/episodes/ you can't view the videos unless you sign up. Once you sign up (free for this website btw), you can then view the videos.

eg https://player.vimeo.com/video/182530570 which is episode 1 will only play once you have logged in to their website, you can't view it directly on Vimeo.

Bump

We can view it on vimeo/download it if we give it a valid referrer, for example with this command:

wget -q -O - --header='Referer: [www.patriotcampers.tv]' [player.vimeo.com]

It's impossible to integrate with vimeo plugin. But I think (I haven't tried to create an account) it's possible by creating a separate plugin with account support (for example: PatriotCampers) to download the video.
