Description

Each time I try to download a video from Vimeo I get this error. It downloads the video file but stuck with the audio file (m4a).

I can confirm that this issue is affecting me as well when downloading audio fragments.

Vimeo support is currently broken in youtube-dl.

[hawk911]

Yep, youtube-dl doesn't work with audio fragments of Vimeo.

This commande helped me to baypass the issue youtube-dl -f 'http-1080p/http-720p' URL

Does this format contain audio as well?
