Replacing a video completes successfully but doesn't show correctly on the site

[jawache]

I've created a video to explain show you exactly what I'm seeing: https://vimeo.com/244261377

I've used the vimeo python api to replace a set of my videos, I've got all the perms and the API is working, no errors, and reports the replace completed successfully.

When checking the results I see something super weird:

1) Goto https://vimeo.com/197887144, this is the old video (you can tell since the start screen says Angular 2: From Theory To Practice at the bottom) 2) Click on the first video in the My Videos list, this video has the SAME URL: https://vimeo.com/197887144 but shows the new uploaded video (you can tell since the start screen says just angular.codecraft.tv at the bottom)

So my upload to replace the video is complete, I can see the replaces video on the site but only if I click on it.

Cheers,

Asim

for line in videos.split("\n"):
    file, id = line.split(" ")
    print "Uploading", file, "to", id
    video_uri = v.replace(
        video_uri='/videos/' + id,
        filename='/Users/jawache/Dropbox/AngExports/' + file)
    print video_uri
    print " ------ Done ------"

Uploading 1.plunker.mp4 to 197887144
/videos/197887144
 ------ Done ------

That's really strange! Can you create a ZenDesk ticket with our support team? That'd be the best way to help you get this figured out.

I've also pinged the team that's responsible for this, and hopefully someone can figure out what's going on.

Hey @jawache, this turned out to be a bug in some new video versioning work that we did. A fix will be going live shortly.

I have this same problem as well! Apparently "fixing it shortly" takes 4 years?!? Still no fix! I really don't want to use YouTube, but have no choice now! Geez

@pointoflife14 Sorry to hear that. I no longer work at Vimeo, but if you reach out to their support through the normal channels someone there should hopefully be able to help you out.
