Description

Test link: https://vimeo.com/event/1023598/embed/ff6cf5dd25

Maybe regex needs to be relaxed or maybe link format is different from the embeds already supported.

Originally that video is hosted on https://event.worldmicrobeforum.org/ and requires log in (can't share unfortunately). At the same time was able to extract the link above and it's playable in any browser without login, cookies or referrer url. I guess it can be downloaded directly.

When you study the page loaded from the embed link, you see that it fetches some JSON from this URL: https://player.vimeo.com/video/555011351/config with a whole stack of parameters. The id 555011351 doesn't correspond to a playable video (404) although a URL using that id is the JSON's .video.shareURL.

The JSON fields .request.files.progressive[i].url (i=0..4) name direct mp4 URLs of various resolutions; the .request.files.dash and .request.files.hls objects deserve further study.

The id is found in the div.player element of the page as the value of its data-config-url attribute in the URL https://player.vimeo.com/video/555011351. That URL is understood by yt-dl (presumably using the JSON as above).
