using clipnabber I was able to get some sort of link to a vimeo flv
http://bitcast-a.v1.sjc1.bitgravity.com/vimeo/videos/84/81/06/84810686/84810686_104_9dd09875dd.flv?e=12184301803600&h=f5cee7007fddf4bad7767c5b2a528378
when you paste that link to your browser it can be downloaded
Ive tried to play it in jw player but it doesnt seem to work, would it have something to do with the "&" or "?" in the url?

I figured out how to do it with Blip. This page uses the JW Player from my server, the still image is from my server and the flv is from Blip.

I emailed blip if it saw ok to do this a couple of weeks ago and they never emailed back.

Hello everyone,
I got some good news for y'all. I almost got my plugin working which loads a vimeo video in the jw player.
example here: http://wessite.dreamhosters.com/vimeo/
It's also perfectly legit with the terms of Vimeo because the video is loaded through the moogaloop player.
almost everything is working, except the fullscreen functionality is still a bit buggy. If you are interested in this plugin contact me: info [at] wessite [dot] com
Cheers

Guys,
It really isn't very hard to figure out the url to the source video (usually MP4) of vimeo videos - I worked on this last night, as part of a client website video page, here:
http://www.davekiss.com/?page=video
The videos are automatically loaded from his vimeo account, http://vimeo.com/davekiss/
I used the RSS feed feature of vimeo to get the video IDs of his videos (and other info such as title).
I then wrote a small function to convert a vimeo ID into a source video (mp4) URL:
bc.. function vimeoid2url($id) {
$xml = file_get_contents("http://www.vimeo.com/moogaloop/load/clip:{$id}");
preg_match('|ure>(.*?)</req|i',$xml,$sig);
preg_match('|ires>(.*?)</req|i',$xml,$exp);
$url = "http://www.vimeo.com/moogaloop/play/clip:{$id}/{$sig[1]}/{$exp[1]}/?q=sd";
return $url;
}
Then I simply load that URL in the JW FLV player like any other video URL.
(although you do need the "type=video" FlashVar so the player knows it is a video)
If you understand the above code, great, I hope it helps you. If not, and you would like help with getting something similar working for yourself, I can be contacted at

No problem, I like your code ^^
(apart from the heredoc syntax, I hate to ruin indentation, haha)
You could grab the preview image from the rss stream to put in the spiff playlist, as a preview image in the JW player, with a couple additions;
Uncomment the $ns_media var, then add this line somewhere below;
bc.. $image = str_replace('_200','_640',$ns_media->content->thumbnail->attributes()->url);
then this in the somewhere in the spiff output;
bc.. <image>{$image}</image>
That way you get a nice preview image while the video loads - it's HD, you gotta give them something to look at =)

Thanks for the image code, I hadn't gotten around to that yet. And I still need to cleanup the description more intelligently.
I hear what you're saying about the heredocs, but they save so much code, and are much "cleaner"!
JW Player

rated :
Yeah, the contents of the description element are pretty messy without much consistency among videos.
It looks like the output from a javascript-based WYSIWYG editor is saved directly to vimeo's database.
In most cases (including your script above), heredocs can be replaced by double quotes without any problems.
The only difference I can think of is the need to escape double quotes in the string, which tends to be a rare occurrence for me as I tend towards single quotes.
Even if I do need to escape one or two, it is worth it for the prettyprinting ;-)

Even though my playlist doesn't look as nice as I'd like it to, the description looks OK in the player most of the time. A little more experience so I can see the range of "garbage" and I'll apply a little more cleanup.

Hi folks, THANKS to Andrew and lost for getting me going on a script. I found that the XML it spits out, I can't get to work with JW Player, so I tweaked it's output a bit, and this php file will make an XML file that JW can read (and have vimeo return the .MP4 or .FLV, instead of the moogaloop.swf alone):
bc.. <?php
$url = 'http://vimeo.com/[USERNAME]/videos/rss';
$playlist = $XML = simplexml_load_file($url);
$max_tracks = 10;
$count = 0;
$max_description = 120;
header("Content-Type: text/xml;charset=utf-8");
if(is_object($playlist))
{
print <<<END
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<rss version="2.0" xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" xmlns:jwplayer='http://developer.longtailvideo.com/trac/wiki/FlashFormats'>
<title>{$playlist->channel->title}</title>
<link>{$playlist->channel->link}</link>
<channel>
END;
foreach($playlist->channel->item as $item)
{
$ns_dc = $item->children('http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/');
$ns_media = $item->children('http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/');
$image = $ns_media->content->thumbnail->attributes()->url;
// $image = str_replace('_200','_640',$ns_media->content->thumbnail->attributes()->url);
$creator = str_replace('&', '&', $ns_dc->creator);
$title = str_replace('&', '&', $item->title);
$title = str_replace("&","&",$item->title);
$location = vimeourl2videourl($item->enclosure['url']);
$annotation = substr($item->description, (strpos($item->description, '</a></p><p>') + 11));
$annotation = strip_tags($annotation, '');
$annotation = substr($annotation, 0, $max_description);
print <<<END
<item>
<title>{$title}</title>
<link>{$item->link}</link>
<media:content url="{$location}" />
<media:thumbnail url="{$image}" />
<jwplayer:type>video</jwplayer:type>
<description>{$annotation}</description>
<info>{$item->link}</info>
<image>{$image}</image>
</item>
END;
$count++;
if($count > $max_tracks) break;
}
print <<<END
</channel>
</rss>
END;
}
function vimeourl2videourl($url)
{
$url = explode('=', $url);
$id = $url[1];
$xml = file_get_contents("http://www.vimeo.com/moogaloop/load/clip:{$id}");
preg_match('|ure>(.*?)</req|i',$xml,$sig);
preg_match('|ires>(.*?)</req|i',$xml,$exp);
$url = "http://www.vimeo.com/moogaloop/play/clip:{$id}/{$sig[1]}/{$exp[1]}/?q=sd";
return $url;

I can feed JW player the .php URL directly, and it populates my player. Hope this helps.

LOST, you are right! Now all works. Probably it were time problems.
I have placed a player on my site, but I have a problem with Vimeo.
I have downloaded from your test page script - "swfobject.js" v.2.2 and your playlist - "playlist_converter_Vimeo.php". After I connect both files to my site, player and playlist from your test page are displayed on my site, but when I add link to my video - player gives out an error.
In your playlist (playlist_converter_Vimeo.php) I see links like:
http://www.vimeo.com/moogaloop/play/clip:2111305/0619c7773316c7e896962624f77eb783/1254180600/? q=sd
My links from Vimeo look as:
http://www.vimeo.com/6800420
If I receive the link with Keepvid they look as:
http://www.vimeo.com/moogaloop/play/clip:6800420///video.flv? q =
In both cases my video is not reproduced on my site and I even cant download it from Vimeo.
Please, explain to me how can I receive links same as at your playlist? Is It enough that all worked?

@Pavel,
*playlist_converter_Vimeo.php* is a PHP script that reads a Vimeo *feed* and *_converts_* it to a format that can be used by the JW FLV Player. It is posted above on Jul 27, 2009. You are only looking at its output.
For a single Vimeo URI, you should use the *Vimeo.php* script posted below, like this:bc.. 'file':encodeURIComponent('Vimeo.php?id=5501710'),
'type':'video',
'title':'ViceVersa',
*Vimeo.php*bc.. <?php
// http://www.vimeo.com/5501710
// call with: http://www.domain.com/path/Vimeo.php?id=5501710
$id = isset($_GET['id']) ? strval($_GET['id']) : '5501710';
$videoxml = file_get_contents("http://www.vimeo.com/moogaloop/load/clip:{$id}");
preg_match('|<request_signature>(.*)</request_signature>|i', $videoxml, $sig);
preg_match('|<request_signature_expires>(.*)</request_signature_expires>|i', $videoxml, $sigexp);
$uri = "http://www.vimeo.com/moogaloop/play/clip:{$id}/{$sig[1]}/{$sigexp[1]}/?q=sd";
// print "URI: $uri"; exit;
header("Location: $uri");
exit;

@Lost, I have understood. But I need help not for single Vimeo URL. I need to create playlist with my videos from Vimeo.
I have inserted PHP script posted Jul 27, 2009 into my file "playlist_converter_Vimeo.php" but after that I have the message from JW player on my site - "THIS PLAYLIST IS NOT A VALID XML FILE"
Please tell me what lines I need to change in PHP script posted Jul 27, 2009 and what code I need to use on my html page.

Hi all,
I used the wessite plugin to load vimeo videos, and I use player4.swf that's the only one that works
All ok, but I can't set up the video screen (fill, uniform, etc..) it's always 'uniform'
an example here:
<div class="style9">
<script type='text/javascript'>
var so = new SWFObject('http://www.legnanowebtv.com/player/player4.swf','ply','512','500','9','#ffffff');
so.addParam('allowfullscreen','true');
so.addParam('allowscriptaccess','always');
so.addParam('allownetworking','all');
so.addVariable('stretching','fill');
so.addParam('wmode','opaque');
so.addVariable('plugins', 'viral-2');
so.addVariable('viral.callout', 'none');
so.addVariable('viral.onpause', 'false');
so.addVariable('playlistsize','400');
so.addParam('flashvars','file=http://www.legnanowebtv.com/xml/futsala.xml&plugins=http://www.legnanowebtv.com/player/vimeo.swf&playlist=bottom');
so.write('mediaspace');
