Password Protected Vimeo Albums

[baghayi]

Hello There, I've been trying to play a password-protected album on my Chromecast. Omitting the --video-password option catt asks me to provide the password with "--video-password" option:

$  catt cast "https://vimeo.com/showcase/xyz"
ERROR: This album is protected by a password, use the --video-password option
Error: Remote resource not found.

When providing the password using this option it says the option does not exist:

$ catt cast --video-password MY_PASSWORD "https://vimeo.com/showcase/8551988"
Usage: catt cast [OPTIONS] VIDEO_URL
Try 'catt cast -h' for help.

Error: no such option: --video-password

Am I doing something wrong here? I verified it with youtube-dl and it works fine. But cannot make it work with catt.

No, this is because that's a YouTube-dl option, not a CATT option. I'm not at the computer currently but I think we have a ytdl command line option.

Try this:

catt cast -y videopassword=MY_PASSWORD "https://vimeo.com/showcase/8551988"

Try this:

catt cast -y videopassword=MY_PASSWORD "https://vimeo.com/showcase/8551988"

Thank you. It verifies the password now as youtube-dl does, but results in errors:

This Vimeo URL (showcase) has 2 videos in it. Could it be the reason for this failure?

It most likely is. If its possible, can you try video-urls from that showcase?

I tried a single link (https://vimeo.com/showcase/8551988/video/561679574) from the showcase but doesn't work. Apparently, Youtube-dl doesn't support it either. It gives me 404.

Hi, I have similar issue - is there some way to log in to google account when starting a cast? I would like to cast my calendar to my "not so smart display" - Google Nest Hub Max. When casting https://calendar.google.com. - it shows log in page, which is useless without keyboard. Any ideas? Thank you!
