Hidden videos: no placeholder image #27

Open brandonpeat opened 1 month ago

I have a Vimeo video set to "Hide from Vimeo" and "Embed Anywhere". Works as expected with the normal Vimeo embed.

With lite-vimeo, the placeholder image doesn't load. (The video itself will still play.)

Is this able to be fixed, or is this a side effect of hidden videos -- their thumbnail images are also hidden and not able to be queried by the API?

Heard back from the Vimeo team:

The issue is the 3rd party script. It's using an old outdated Vimeo API endpoint that has been decommissioned a long time ago, see https://github.com/luwes/lite-vimeo-embed/blob/c8209324e9809ba546e1ac80cee2217e263f6b4d/lite-vimeo-embed.js#L123

I'm not familiar with the Vimeo API (tried to read the docs but it's outside my wheelhouse) so I'm not sure if that's an easy tweak, or if it means this entire codebase is borderline obsolete. Any insight?
