Error 404 while trying to download from Vimeo On Demand

[lucasrscosta]

Hello, everyone. I am getting an HTTP Error 404: Not Found while trying to download from Vimeo On Demand. Any guess on the reason this is happening? Thanks in advance.

Well, that video is 404/gone.

[lucasrscosta]

It is not. I can still watch it using the website.

I've having exactly the same issue with a different ondemand video. Can view in the browser, can't youtube-dl it due to a 404.

we're seeing this right now too...but with an odd pattern. our service that uses youtube-dl, http://huffduff-video.snarfed.org/ , runs on an AWS EC2 instance. it's recently started hitting this error on some vimeo videos.

if i use youtube-dl to download the same vimeo video on my local machine, on a different ISP/network (usually residential or commercial), it works fine. then, after a few seconds, if i try http://huffduff-video.snarfed.org/ again, it doesn't hit the error and downloads the video fine.

so maybe vimeo is selectively blocking huffduff-video's IP address, maybe just on certain videos, but then when a different IP downloads that video, it removes the block? odd if so. not sure what to do about it.

I'm not sure it is the same issue, but with "skillsmatter" I succeeded with #1883 (comment)
