Thumbnails not displaying

[jedifunk]

First off, thanks for this nice vimeo player implementation!

I am trying to get mine setup and everything works, except for the thumbnails. Is the javascript supposed to pull in a thumbnail based on the the vimeo URL or do I need to somehow specify each thumbnail.

Your jsfiddle seems to pull in the thumbnails automatically.

I suspect that it might have something to do with the fact that my vimeo account is a Pro account.

Any help is appreciated.

Glad you like it, thanks.

You're right. The script should retrieve the thumbs automatically.

Do you have a jsfiddle with your setup or a test page online?
Then I can take a look and see if can find anything...

Wesley thanks for the reply. I probably should have provided a link or jsfiddle in the first place.

Here's a link to the page that I am trying to implement the vimeo player.

A bit more background: the site is Wordpress if that matters, my Vimeo account a PRO account, and all the videos are locked except of on sites I allow (this site IS allowed).

If I use your code with the videos you are using it loads and works perfectly. When I add my own videos it shows the first one, but the other videos don't show up.

And actually, I was curious how I would adjust your code to simply display a grid of thumbnails below the player instead of using the Carousel plugin.

Again, thanks for your help, and I look forward to using your code!

Ah I see now. Private videos require the advanced Vimeo API to be used and the script is using the simple API which only does public data. The advanced API also needs server side processing to authorize the user through oauth protocol.

Showing a grid of thumbnails would indeed require some code changes. Off the top of my head; remove the arrows and in the file carousel.js replace

vimeo.utils.css(list, {
    width: playlist.length * _this.offset
});

with

vimeo.utils.css(list, {
    width: config.width
});

Don't know how I missed this response for 3 months! Thanks for the reply, I'll take a look at this and get back to you to know if works.

Thanks again!

I'm in the same boat, looking for to display the private videos in an album. Feels like oEmbed should be able to perform this https://developer.vimeo.com/apis/simple

The Simple API is for public data only.
If your videos are private, you will need to use the Advanced API. If your video is set to hide from vimeo.com, but is embeddable, you may also be able to use oEmbed.

No idea what their "maybe" means, so far.
