I'd like to know whether there's a way to directly embed a vimeo video into a website or whether there's a way to get a stable link to the MP4 file.
E.g. this page: http://www.landfunker.de/ktv/detail.php?rubric=93&nr=86411. The video is only launched when accessing it from that page. In the source code, I see links like
fpdl.vimeocdn.com/vimeo-prod-skyfire-std-us/01/3026/7/190133161/631209312.mp4?token=587a20e2_0xece9d9d127813f2b792edb30032d4d9b0a7c484f
However, the tokens expire, right. Any tips? Any workarounds.thx
Use the Vimeo iframe embed code to embed videos on your site:
https://help.vimeo.com/hc/en-us/sections/203874347-Embedding-Videos
https://developer.vimeo.com/apis/oembed
To get the MP4 links for video files, you'll need to be a Vimeo PRO or Business member. Video file links are returned in the individual video's response from the API.
GET https://api.vimeo.com/videos/[video_id]
You can use the API's JSON fields filter to only return the video file links:
GET https://api.vimeo.com/videos/[video_id]?fields=files
Finally, note that you can only retrieve the video file links for videos on your own PRO or Business account. Vimeo does not provide a way to retrieve the video file links for videos on other user accounts.
API documentation can be found here: https://developer.vimeo.com/api/start
You can definitely embed a Vimeo video into a website - Vimeo provides instructions on their website:
To get your video's embed code, go to its video page and click the Share button. Then click the +Show options link that appears above the embed code field to reveal a preview of your embedded video with the Basic customization options. Once you've made your adjustments, you can copy the embed code and paste it wherever you'd like to embed your video.
They also provide an API based embed approach using oEmbed. There is a JavaSCript example using this here:
https://github.com/vimeo/vimeo-oembed-examples/blob/master/oembed/js-example.html
This basically calls the API with the URL of the video to embed and the response includes HTML which you append to your page.

I want to embed the youtube upload page of my channel on my website.
I would like to know how I could do this. iframe doesn't seem to work.
There are two options available for you: (1) embed the webpage as a blockquote using Embedly, or (2) make a playlist of your uploaded videos and embed the playlist.
Use Embedly: The website Embedly uses a script to embed any webpage, including the uploads page of your YouTube channel, into a block quote. You'll be using their script in your HTML, so no guarantees on quality.
Make a playlist of your uploaded videos, then embed the playlist into your website by following the instructions on this page.
Good luck!
Looking at Youtube's API ... https://developers.google.com/youtube/player_parameters
They do have a user uploads feed.
https://www.youtube.com/embed?listType=user_uploads&list=USERNAME
IE for focuspullin channel
https://www.youtube.com/embed?listType=user_uploads&list=focuspullin
It provides a video as a and with a playlists that could be used in a iframe
But I would consider this subject to change. Google's knowledge graph shows completely different, older information, about an RSS feed. Unable to find that and it may no longer exist, [but there are several stackoverflow Q and A that reference it from a few years back.]
I want to show all the preview thumbnail images of a Vimeo on a pages. I'm the owner of a Vimeo Pro account but I don't see any options or an API call to get them. A file with the timestamps and an image url would be good enough.
I can't run a script to generate them myself so I was wondering if anyone found such an option?
If you are talking about the preview thumbnails that appear when you seek on a video, those are not currently available via the API.
I'll make a note though, and see if we can add them in the future.
Anyone know how to add the full upload feed from YouTube to a website using html coding??? I've been able to get single videos, but haven't found anything regarding all videos.
if you want to use the Youtube Data API you can retrieve all videos on a specific channel.
If you just wanted to embed a full upload feed from a channel, as this question states you can use the channel embed code, for example:
<script src="http://www.gmodules.com/ig/ifr?url=http://www.google.com/ig/modules/youtube.xml&up_channel=YourChannelName&synd=open&w=320&h=390&title=&border=%23ffffff%7C3px%2C1px+solid+%23999999&output=js"></script>
How do I access the url for a vevo video thumbnail? youtube makes it easy by hosting predicatably located images, and vimeo requires that you go through their api. But what about vevo? For example, give the following embed code:
How do I access a corresponding thumbnail?
I have made a windows store app using the Youtube Iframe API. I can handle events and play video fine but there is a major problem as it doesnt support full screen mode (amongst some other minor niggles).
I have been looking in the app store and I see that the majority of youtube player apps do not use the iframe API, they grab the video direct and put it into the standard HTML5 video player.
I have done a lot of searching and the only way I can see people are doing this is by parsing the youtube page to find the video file the Youtube player is going to play and loading this directly into the media player.
I have a few problems with this method.
I am not sure if this is legal as it may break youtubes terms and conditions
If page at youtube changes it can break app.
Neither of these situations are acceptable.
Is there any way to get full screen to work inside app or get a direct video stream legitimately?
Not sure about the copyright and youtube terms stuff but here is how you do it apparently:
Show Youtube video source into HTML5 video tag?
Looks like it's browser specific and youtube generates different html for different browsers.
I would make an ajax request to the youtube url appending html5-true then use jQuery to scrape the source for the video tag, add your attributes and then append to your page.
Now you have the tag that youtube uses so I'm assuming what works on their webpage will work o yours.
Probably violates all terms and conditions...
