Vimeo On Demand

Post by gmB »

Hello,

I would like to download videos, that I have purchased, from Vimeo On Demand.
That doesn't work however, since VSO Downloader only downloads the trailer.

The problem seems to be, that you have to login to Vimeo to authenticate yourself to watch the video.
VSO Downloader detects the url of the video, but lacks authentication. This causes VSO Downloader to download the public stub which is behind this url, when you're not logged in.

For example: For a given url, you can watch a trailer for a movie. When you login and have purchased the movie, you can watch the movie under the same url.
VSO Downloader detects the url, but downloads only the trailer as it lacks authentication.

I guess, one would need a way of letting VSO Downloader authenticate itself to Vimeo, or have a kind of "protected stream" download option for vimeo.
The protected stream feature was disabled for Vimeo, since the custom download protocol for Vimeo was implemented.

It would be great, if you would consider this feature in VSO Downloader.

Thanks for your work on VSO Downloader.
It's a great software.

Best regards
gmB
