Hi!

-g command still doesn't return any playable video link for vimeo.

Firefox's plugin Unplug does it. This link has some rules relative to vimeo. Take a look if you like.

Thanks

Please note the -g FAQ here https://github.com/rg3/youtube-dl that tells you to use --cookies.
Also, Vimeo seriously wants you to set a "common" User-Agent otherwise it will reply you 500.

Here is how I got it working.

$ ./youtube-dl -g --cookies cookie_jar.tmp "http://vimeo.com/37749081"
http://vimeo.com/moogaloop/play/clip:37749081/a139448b753cba2abbefdc515a33a4e7/1330953146/?q=hd

$ wget --load-cookies cookie_jar.tmp --user-agent "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:5.0.1) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/5.0.1" "http://vimeo.com/moogaloop/play/clip:37749081/a139448b753cba2abbefdc515a33a4e7/1330953146/?q=hd"

Anyway thank you a lot for the link, it will be of serious help for #285

Unplug seems to have a different, probably better way of finding the URL. I'll compare the results.

Now with 2934c2c, merged with #301, the link is exactly of the same type as the one of Unplug.
The link is easily playable in a browser. If you use a downloader, please set a "common" User Agent:
wget --user-agent "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:5.0.1) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/5.0.1" \ $(./youtube-dl -g http://vimeo.com/1363091/)
