vimeo.com: Support for embed-only videos #3582
Comments
|
Thank you for the report. It turns out the embedding URL is the page URL itself in this case. Fixed in youtube-dl 2014.08.25. Type |
|
Well, that one was quick. Tested and works for me. Thanks a bunch. |
|
same problem with 2016.08.31 |
|
Can confirm, also having this problem with Vimeo videos after updating YouTube-DL. |
|
@palashcode @2wenty2wo Could you paste your commands and logs? |
|
@yan12125 Sure, I just ran it again with the "-v" command, I'm not sure if that's the log you're talking about. Thank you for the super quick reply :) youtube-dl -v https://player.vimeo.com/video/166756641 |
|
How did you get the URL https://player.vimeo.com/video/166756641? Is it embedded in another website? |
|
Yeah it's embedded on https://www.heyhey.tv/exclusive-member-vid/1984-episode-39/ |
|
Could you try: |
|
Thanks @yan12125 that did work. Just going to take ages now that I have to add a referer. 40+ more videos to go haha. Thanks again. |
|
Hey, I had this same error with Vimeo, for a paid-for video: 'ERROR: Cannot download embed-only video without embedding URL. Please call youtube-dl with the URL of the page that embeds this video'. Using this method was successful: Woot! Perhaps it is a good idea to add something about this into some documentation somewhere? |
|
@2wenty2wo u can always create a .txt file for batch command |
|
In the place of referer argument, value need not be the complete URL. Just the website name is enough. |
The error message is clear but how can I circumvent it? There is no page that embeds this video.
