Unable to play vimeo videos

Hi, I am unable to play vimeo videos despite providing all the necessary parameters @override void initState() { super.initState(); controller = PodPlayerController( playVideoFrom: PlayVideoFrom.vimeo( '518228118', httpHeaders: { 'Authorization': 'bearer #############' }, ), )..initialise(); } image

Why don't you share your solution here so everyone can benefit from it?

Maybe I'm just gullible, but I tried to contact @ge0rge000 to find out the solution to this problem and he wanted to charge me $300!! In my many years as a developer I have never experienced this before. Disgusting behavior.

But on a more constructive note (well sort of) I have this problem too. Even just trying to play a plain public vimeo video (not private or restricted).

@icecandy Dear friend ! how is it for this case ?

@beto-hopee I've given up. I have implemented Vimeo playback completely in vanilla javascript in a web view using the Vimeo API. I have also done the same with YouTube videos, with almost identical code (the API is a little different and so not quite the same implementation). My app allows people to build their own HTML blog page and so I am already in a web view by default and so this is a very suitable solution.

Any update on this case? still cannot play vimeo videos in pod player

You could try omni_video_player. It handles Vimeo and other video sources more reliably and doesn’t require complex platform view setup
