Error playing Vimeo unlisted videos

[danis039]

As of v3.0.0-beta.3, when adding an unlisted Vimeo video as the player source, an error is thrown.

This can be reproduced in the demo page by setting the "Custom" input field to https://player.vimeo.com/video/76979871?h=8272103f6e.

However, the player loads the unlisted video successfully when reproducing the step above after refreshing the page and setting the source to Vimeo Test A or Test B.

Would it be possible to get this fixed? Thanks!

I've noticed the demo page player has been recently updated to v3.0.0-beta.3, and while the URL I've mentioned above now works (that video is not actually unlisted as it works with the standard Vimeo URL format as well - https://vimeo.com/76979871), the following still doesn't: https://player.vimeo.com/video/1038110360?h=8c1a6b767b.

The issue still persists. Any plans for fixing this?

I am also having this issue. For me the issue is apparent when the security setting on the video is set to "Unlisted" - only people with the link can view."

If I change the security permissions in vimeo.com to "Hide from Video" - private on your account, but embeddable anywhere, it works with the react-player.

The problem with "fixing" it this way is that vimeo changes the link to the video, and even though it is now embeddable, the direct link no longer works with browsers in their URL bar.

This might be a regression issue with react-player v3. I know it used to work. Or maybe Vimeo changed something in their API.
