VIMEO FIX (17/05/2012) (updated 04/07/2012)

[mephisto]

vimeo is no longer working, they switched to a new API, version 2.
The old megaloop link doesn't work anymore as of today.

here's an example
the old url we were using
http://vimeo.com/moogaloop/load/clip:41468749
the new one
http://vimeo.com/api/v2/video/41468749.xml

From the VIMEO API section

Making a Video Request

To get data about a specific video, use the following url:
Making the URL
http://vimeo.com/api/v2/video/video_id.output
video_id = The ID of the video you want information for
output = Specify the output type. We currently offer JSON, PHP, and XML formats.

The data returned from this method is the same as what is returned in any video list, except there is only one.

http://developer.vimeo.com/apis/simple#video-request

here's a temporary fix

this is for admin/src/vimeo.php

change target url to

Code: Select all

   $target_url = "http://vimeo.com/api/v2/video/" . $vid_id.".xml";

In the function get_thumb_link($video_data) change thumbnail to thumbnail_small, or thumbnail_medium or thumbnail_large depending on what you need, like in the line below.. (I used thumbnail_small)

Code: Select all

if(preg_match('/<thumbnail_small>(.*?)<\/thumbnail_small>/', $video_data[$i], $matches))

Scroll down to function video_details($video_data, $url, &$info) and change to ....

Code: Select all

function video_details($video_data, $url, &$info)
{

   $arr_length = count($video_data);

   for($i = 0; $i < $arr_length; $i++)
   {
      //   video title
      if(preg_match("/<title>(.*?)<\/title>/", $video_data[$i], $matches) != 0)
      {   
         $info['video_title'] = str_replace('"', '', $matches[1]);
      }
      //   video description
      if(preg_match("/<description>(.*?)<\/description>/", $video_data[$i], $matches) != 0)
      {   
         $info['description'] = str_replace('"', '', $matches[1]);
      }
   
      //   direct link
      if(preg_match("/<url>(.*?)<\/url>/", $video_data[$i], $matches) != 0)
      {
         $info['direct'] = $matches[1];
      }
      //   video id
      if(preg_match("/<id>(.*?)<\/id>/", $video_data[$i], $matches) != 0)
      {
         $info['yt_id'] = $matches[1];
      }
   }
   //   flv
   $info['url_flv'] = get_flv($video_data);
   
   //   thumbnail link
   $info['yt_thumb'] = get_thumb_link($video_data);
}

I added description to this as well since that was missing from the old vimeo src.
For those with a security obsession, you might want to parse description first to to make sure it is secure input, I trust vimeo and I always check/read the descriptions first anyway.
You could also add the video duration now, since it is in the xml response.

This is only a temporary fix, I notified Andrew via bug report. They'll have to come up with a final one if this needs more work, I just changed what I needed. There's no more links to the flv file I see so you'll have to use their player probably, unless Andrew and his team have a trick up their sleeves.

EDIT: one more thing to change
In function get_flv($video_data) You will need to change the value

Code: Select all

nodeId

to

Code: Select all

id

so replace

Code: Select all

      if(preg_match('/<nodeId>(.*?)<\/nodeId>/', $data, $matches) != 0)

with

Code: Select all

      if(preg_match('/<id>(.*?)<\/id>/', $data, $matches) != 0)

Seems to work, see

just added that using this fix.

hmm trying to add another video now doesn't work... gives me the "video already in your database" error... while it is definitely not, if I click edit it gives me the previous one... hang on... let me sort this out...

I think this must be related to the flv file location not being set anymore.

The previous video set that location as

Code: Select all

http://vimeo.com/moogaloop/play/clip://?q=sd&type=local&embed_location=

the video ID is missing there because it doesn't find the flv anymore

If I add a new video that will return the same value of

Code: Select all

http://vimeo.com/moogaloop/play/clip://?q=sd&type=local&embed_location=

and phpmelody doesn't like that.. or won't even accept it.

FIXED: added the fix to the post above, see EDIT there.
And just added a series of vimeo videos to test it. Works fine.

Thank You

[Trace]

Confirmed working perfectly, thanks a lot

[Aryan]

thanks mephisto

[mephisto]

you're all welcome. I needed it urgently so.. I might as well share it. Not that it is rocket science anyway
I broke my head over so many APIs out there before, that by now it's starting to become obvious... most of the time.

[Andrew]

Good fix. Made the topic into a "sticky" until it's included in the official package (update).

[mephisto]

your probably also noticed they added this annoying #at=0 to their links on their site
http://vimeo.com/45089420#at=0

Open admin/src/vimeo.php src, at the top

After

Code: Select all

   $video_data = array();

add

Code: Select all

   $tmp_url = explode('#',$url);
   $url = $tmp_url[0];

and it won't annoy you anymore

Thanks for the fix.

It stopped working. Existing videos work but I am not able to add new ones.
