Description

This showcase of videos is private, and each video (when viewed from the direct URL) has its own password, but can be viewed within the album without the unique password.

For example, going to the album and clicking on a video takes you to:

https://vimeo.com/showcase/XXXXXXX/video/YYYYYYY

and the video does not require authentication.

But, removing the /showcase/XXXXXXX/video and going to:

https://vimeo.com/YYYYYYY

Must prompt for the unique password for the video, causing 401 unauthorized.

I imagine this is because youtube-dl parses out the main video URL instead of the URL for the video within the showcase, as seen in 12ee431 .

url = 'https://vimeo.com/' + video_id

Update: temporarily fixed by changing the lines referenced in: 12ee431

        elif is_player:
            url = 'https://player.vimeo.com/video/' + video_id
        elif any(p in url for p in ('play_redirect_hls', 'moogaloop.swf', '/album/')):
            url = 'https://vimeo.com/' + video_id
        elif any(p in url for p in ('/showcase/')):
            url = 'https://vimeo.com/showcase/XXXXXX/video/' + video_id
            print(url)

I hardcoded it because it doesn't seem like there's an easy way to get the album_id into VimeoIE() and I suck at python.

It should look like:

        elif is_player:
            url = 'https://player.vimeo.com/video/' + video_id
        elif any(p in url for p in ('play_redirect_hls', 'moogaloop.swf', '/album/')):
            url = 'https://vimeo.com/' + video_id
        elif any(p in url for p in ('/showcase/')):
            url = 'https://vimeo.com/showcase/' + album_id +  '/video/' + video_id
            print(url)

but again, I suck at programming.

Hope this makes the dev's lives easier.
