[Question] Vimeo with "Hide from Vimeo" setting but embeds allowed on specific domains

[qrazi]

A client of mine uses some third party software to regularly upload video with the settings "Hide from Vimeo" and "Embed on specific domains".

This effectively means that https://vimeo.com/12345678 cannot be added, even though the oEmbed endpoint does return an oEmbed json (https://vimeo.com/api/oembed.json?url=https://vimeo.com/12345678).

As far as I can tell embed first makes a request to the original URL (https://vimeo.com/12345678) to see if it exists, and only after retrieves oEmbed info, from https://vimeo.com/api/oembed.json?url=https://vimeo.com/12345678.

Why does that first check happen? Would it not be enough to see if you get oEmbed data back from the endpoint?

I am sure I am missing something, but I would like to understand why, so I can see if there is any workaround possible.

Having this same issue. The URLs work fine on Vimeo's API and returns the embed code,

I don't see this problem. I just checked this private video url (taken from wrav/oembed#136)

https://oscarotero.com/embed/demo/index.php?url=https%3A%2F%2Fvimeo.com%2F800923361

It returns the embed code from the oembed api.

Okay thanks - I'll take a further look!

@andrewhawkes did this get resolved?
