Vimeo Custom Urls #1551

Open stanza237 opened 7 years ago

Hello, if a Vimeo User has customized his video url, fancybox 3 can't handle the redirect and doesn't play it. Example: https://codepen.io/stanza237/pen/brdXdp

Hi,

Right now, the script works by simply extracting video ID from URL and creating embedded code. To make these custom urls work, this algorithm should be rewritten to use oEmbed. I wanted avoid this, because this is an extra html request, but seems that it should be done.

fancyBox could have a helper/plugin for doing this. OwlCarousel plugins are a great example of this kinda functionality.

Posting here to help others with this issue: I was able to work around this by using the url in the vimeo embed code, rather than the video link.

The code in the vimeo iframe will include the video iframe. e.g. player.vimeo.com/video/ID

Using that url works
