vimeo: video_thumbnail ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10: 'base'

[matrixik]

I have error with downloading one video from vimeo.
video link: player.vimeo.com/video/100139426

When I run Windows executable (v2014.08.02.1) I got:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "__main__.py", line 18, in <module>

ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10: 'base'

I installed with pip and edited vimeo.py file to print all returned thumbnails:

[(u'640', u'http://i.vimeocdn.com/video/481548617_640.jpg'), (u'base', u'http://i.vimeocdn.com/video/481548617'), (u'960',

Looks like for some videos there are base thumbnail.

Fixed in youtube-dl 2014.08.05. If you used pip to update, type sudo pip -U install. Otherwise, type sudo youtube-dl -U to update.

[matrixik]

You probably mean sudo pip install -U
