Hi, If I use the command -g [youtube url] it retrieves a link like this one: http://o-o.preferred.optimus-lis1.v12.lscache3.c.youtube.com/videoplayback?sparams=id%2Cexpire%2Cip%2Cipbits%2Citag%2Csource%2Cratebypass%2Ccp&itag=45&ip=87.0.0.0&signature=3EF4021510180142A1A72BB8D604BE3827F61419.4AD2F3B44A8BCAAE2956F9DE7992A6F3ECCFA629&sver=3&ratebypass=yes&source=youtube&expire=1324255635&key=yt1&ipbits=8&cp=U0hRSVJQU19IT0NOMV9KSldHOjEtREw0Q2ZfV3ho&id=bb57906a051e187c&title=CT-5 This link can the be used anywhere to play the streaming video. If I do the same with a vimeo link it retrieves a link like this http://vimeo.com/moogaloop/play/clip:1363091/c564473fa08c34b727a0f28919303c13/1324508804/?q=sd This link doesn't work anywhere. What I need is something like this http://av.vimeo.com/84499/966/76750302.mp4?token=1324215122_186bf7717e2ee04a9cd8032061947103 Thanks

Oops, that is indeed reproducible. I'll have a look how that happened.

Any news regarding this?

The way I get the link I described is by using a firefox plugin called Unplug ( https://addons.mozilla.org/pt-br/firefox/addon/unplug/ )

It opens a link similar to this

player.vimeo.com/play_redirect?clip_id=11390856&sig=7a0da79b5d96d592a02a6de29ec01f9b&time=1327078983&quality=sd&codecs=H264,VP8,VP6&type=moogaloop_local&embed_location=

and then redirects to the final temporary link, which looks like this

http://av.vimeo.com/74535/357/20122519.mp4?token=1327080171_35a7393a3f90c73bb3bc197f5ed1185e

the vimeo API doesn't seem to have instructions for this

I hope it helps, thanks!

Fixed with #301
