[REQ] Vimeo supporting passwords
September 21, 2016 11:22AM
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,

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.

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.
