    Computer says no - Vimeo Embed

    Hello! I have two sites running Umbraco 7 -- one is using 7.4.3 and the other is using 7.2.8 -- and I'm seeing this error with both of them. When I try to retrieve this video, I'm getting "Computer says no":

    https://vimeo.com/180224192/b2bacd0902

    When I try to retrieve this one, however, it works:

    https://vimeo.com/179197844

    The error is happening because the data.Status value is 1. Can anyone tell me why this is happening?

    Thank you!

    Hi Jim.

    I dont think that this is a Umbraco issue. If you browse the non working vimeo url (https://vimeo.com/180224192/b2bacd0902) and the working (https://vimeo.com/179197844) and compare the two videos you see that the non working one looks incomplete. There is no options for Sharing the video, commenting or adding to a collection.

    Looking on the non working video you see that there is a green label "Business" below the video. Looking at the Vimeo FAQ, there seems to be a way for PRO and BUSINESS users to hide the Share button, and i guess that this is the case with the video that you cannot embed.

    https://vimeo.com/help/faq/sharing-videos/share-features#can-i-hide-the-share-button-on-my-video

    Plus, PRO, and Business members can also customize the embedded video player to hide the Share button. Fancy!

    So i guess that the owner of this video does not want anyone to share this video, sorry. :(

    Hope this was helpful!

    Hi Dennis! Thanks so much for the help. I'll speak to the owner of the video and work on the sharing options.

    Thanks again!

    I have to say I think this might be an Umbraco problem. I have the same error as everyone else has had and I have full access to my Vimeo videos. I have given them all rights possible for everyone and while I can embed them with the iframe code Vimeo provides, I cannot embed them with the embed in the RTE.

    I get "Computer Says No" error.

    When I click on Retrieve in the Embed, I send the following http request:

    https://xxx-dev/xxx/umbraco/backoffice/UmbracoApi/RteEmbed/GetEmbed?height=240&url=https:%2F%2Fvimeo.com%2F194439647&width=360
    

    Notice that you are sending this to Vimeo:

    height=240&https:%2F%2Fvimeo.com%2F194439647&width=360
    

    If you take just that and put it in the address bar, it fails.

    You need to pass the unencoded address with the "?" and the parameters.

    I succeeded in getting my video only when I manually enter:

    https://vimeo.com/194439647?width=360&height=240
    

    Anyway... when the request fails, it comes back with:

    )]}', {Status: 1, SupportsDimensions: true, Markup: null} 
    

    Which is quite obviously malformed JSON.

    I would love to have you all take a look at this. I will continue to research here on my end as well, but this is a show stopper at this time for us. We have an internal client who won't be able to load her videos if she has to go into the code and paste the iframe code onto the page.
