12 years ago I got round this by using the vimeo plugin and adding code to send vimeo urls to the plugin
I only wrote my first python half an hour ago to get this working so appologies for any crudeness. In ted_talks_scraper.py::getVideoDetails I added (added lines highlighted with *)
linkDetectors = [
lambda l: re.compile('High-res video \(MP4\)').match(str(l.string)),
lambda l: re.compile('http://download.ted.com/talks/.+.mp4').match(str(l['href'])),
*lambda l: re.compile('http://vimeo.com/.+').match(str(l['href'])),
]
for link in soup.findAll('a', href=True):
for detector in linkDetectors:
if detector(link):
url = link['href']
linkDetectors = linkDetectors[:linkDetectors.index(detector)] # Only look for better matches than what we have
break
* if url[0:16] = 'http://vimeo.com/'
* url = 'plugin://plugin.video.vimeo?action=play_video&videoid=' + url[17:100]
