Getting 'Invalid meta' for embedded Vimeo videos #54

On all embedded Vimeo videos I get 'Invalid meta for Vimeo'. Seems to be ok when watching on the Vimeo website. I'm running the latest version of the extension (2.6.8)

Example from: https://respond.ly

It used to be that I could hit 'User original player' and it worked but not anymore.

Vimeo has been broken for quite a while now, sorry. I would recommend disabling it in the YouTube5 preferences for now.

Here's a YouTube video that behaves the same way. Perhaps they cribbed the technique from Vimeo.

However, if you disable YouTube5 you'll be able to snag the YouTube URL, turn YouTube5 back on and see it just fine on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hYM4ndcV4Uo So. it's site-specific I suppose.

Me too, FWIW. Example: http://cargocollective.com/elelle/VIDEO/

Also, the "Use original player" link doesn't work.
