Any chance this is being looked into or if there is a temporary workaround?

Hi, We are also interested in this

To my knowledge private vimeo videos are just /videoId/secretId
I also noticed on their Share -> iframe it puts the url as /videoId?h=secretId
ie: https://player.vimeo.com/video/videoId?h=secretId

I tried both of these variations and neither worked.

Edit:
It also seems these variations are trying to be handled in the source code:

plyr/src/js/plugins/vimeo.js

Lines 31 to 44 in d9f9dc7

	// Try to extract a hash for private videos from the URL
	function parseHash(url) {
	/* This regex matches a hexadecimal hash if given in any of these forms:
	* - [https://player.]vimeo.com/video/{id}/{hash}[?params]
	* - [https://player.]vimeo.com/video/{id}?h={hash}[&params]
	* - [https://player.]vimeo.com/video/{id}?[params]&h={hash}
	* - video/{id}/{hash}
	* If matched, the hash is available in the named group `hash`
	*/
	const regex = /^.*(?:vimeo.com\/|video\/)(?:\d+)(?:\?.*&*h=|\/)+(?<hash>[\d,a-f]+)/;
	const found = url.match(regex);
	return found ? found.groups.hash : null;
	}

It seems that the code extracts the hash, but then I'm not seeing it utilized in the iframe src.

Seems like this was handled in the latest version released 2 days ago: #2322

I think this issue can likely be closed. It seems I need to update to the latest version 🎉

It’s not documented, but it seems like this works when data-plyr-embed-id="[complete vimeo URL including id and hash]", but does not work with just data-plyr-embed-id="[id]/][hash]" — I hope that helps someone out.
