Help with vimeo

[abacaxi]

Hi everyone,
does anyone see how to download on an easy way a video from vimeo. (I mean using N_m3u8... not jdownloader wich still works)
the eternal trick by substituing "master.json > master.mpd" doesn't seem to work anymore, or am i wrong ?

see here with this :

https://vimeo.com/813565071

You can use : https://github.com/akiomik/vimeo-dl?tab=readme-ov-file.
Grab the playlist.json's url and run :

vimeo-dl -i "playlist.json's url" --combine -o "save-name"

For your video :

vimeo-dl -i 'https://vod-adaptive-ak.vimeocdn.com/exp=1719635282~acl=%2F0120a429-eb92-4773-9163-c5eee868cf26%2F%2A~hmac=c60b02024735d18d4676ed131e807cdcffe9d8515523b6693dfe6145edd33dd8/0120a429-eb92-4773-9163-c5eee868cf26/v2/playlist/av/primary/playlist.json?omit=av1-hevc&pathsig=8c953e4f~iOLZ4t0WlRfxNbmkXDz0PCZ44zMRZaJtOgi1ezG0mSg&rh=zWrec' --combine -o 'Infierno grande'

This tool ins't fast.. You better using jdownloader2

you can share details privately if you wanna!!

[abacaxi]

you can share details privately if you wanna!!

actually, there is no need. can you just go on any random vimeo video and see if you can get the master.json, please ?

and now seems to have a json file like this :

https://vod-adaptive-ak.vimeocdn.com/exp=1719667155~acl=%2F7e9447a4-9d30-40c1-ad76-d5e607f3ef2b%2F%2A~hmac=fc815de2338f13324ac0fb4ab656615058aa318c4fa9da823a72cf67107086db/7e9447a4-9d30-40c1-ad76-d5e607f3ef2b/v2/playlist/av/primary/playlist.json?omit=av1-hevc&pathsig=8c953e4f~-zvXZu947_Mp4ovJQroSBc7j-wbfHpW7otNzsnoDS14&qsr=1&rh=21ymNr

[aqzs]

You don't need details shared privately ?
The link to the video is shared in the first post :

https://vimeo.com/813565071

Vimeo are now using playlist.json instead of master.json. You can setup a flaresolverr container to bypass cloudflare protection in jdownloader or use this project I shared in the first reply : https://github.com/akiomik/vimeo-dl?tab=readme-ov-file

@abacaxi

why just don't use yt-dlp as cedric says on post#3?
yt-dlp can support vimeo video extractor (also 1080p is available for your link)

or download from this m3u8 link (valid for 5 hours)

https://vod-adaptive-ak.vimeocdn.com/exp=1719682421~acl=%2F0120a429-eb92-4773-9163-c5eee868cf26%2F%2A~hmac=953f4ebc19b0e69de1848acc96a879e4d4a46fc45d3c384b91c1fd7e9cde3e03/0120a429-eb92-4773-9163-c5eee868cf26/v2/playlist/av/primary/sub/83067674-en/playlist.m3u8?ext-subs=1&pathsig=8c953e4f~4_q-sfRQXUPh4uw13UzH6SjIqG5c0o2kyz3J9HAHhgc&rh=zWrec&sf=ts

[aqzs]

Yt-dlp isn't always working due to cloudflare protection..

Here is a script I made using flaresolverr to get the N_m3u8DL-RE command :

import requests

headers = {'Content-Type': 'application/json'}

def create():
    r = requests.post(API_URL, headers=headers, json={"cmd":"sessions.create","maxTimeout":60000})
    rdata = json.loads(r.content)
    return rdata["session"]

def get(url):
    response = requests.post(API_URL, headers=headers, json={"cmd":"request.get","url":url,"maxTimeout":60000,"session":SESSIONID})
    response_data = json.loads(response.content)
    html = response_data["solution"]["response"]
    return html

def destroy():
    destroy_response = requests.post(API_URL, headers=headers, json={"cmd":"sessions.destroy","session":SESSIONID})
    destroy_response_data = destroy_response.json()
    if destroy_response_data['status'] == 'ok':
        print(f'Session {SESSIONID} destroyed successfully.')
    else:
        print(f'Failed to destroy session {SESSIONID}:', destroy_response_data['message'])


API_URL = 'http://0.0.0.0:8191/v1'
SESSIONID = create()
# video_url = 'https://vimeo.com/813565071'
video_url = input('Enter the Vimeo video URL: ')
r = get(video_url)

match = re.search(r'window\.vimeo\.clip_page_config\s*=\s*({.*?});', r)
if match:
    config = match.group(1)
    config_json = json.loads(config)
    player = config_json['player']['config_url']
    name = config_json['clip']['title']

    html = get(player)
    soup = BeautifulSoup(html, 'html.parser')
    json_str = soup.pre.get_text()
    data = json.loads(json_str)
    cdn = data['request']['files']['hls']['default_cdn']
    m3u8_url = data['request']['files']['hls']['cdns'][cdn]['url']

    print(f"""N_m3u8DL-RE "{m3u8_url}" --save-name "{name}" --select-video best --select-audio all --select-subtitle all -mt -M format=mkv  --log-level OFF""")
else:

To run this script you will need to have flaresolverr running in a docker container, here are instructions for setup : https://github.com/FlareSolverr/FlareSolverr?tab=readme-ov-file#installation

[Obo]

Regarding cloudflare: won't the curl-cffi integration (impersonation) in yt-dlp help here?

hi there,
i get some problem with vimeo embed player...
here, to get this video for exemple:

https://lumiton.ar/evento/dias-de-pesca/

or

https://lumiton.ar/evento/el-gato-desaparece-2/

N_m3u8DL-RE -M format="mkv" "https://vod-adaptive-ak.vimeocdn.com/exp=1727803873~acl=%2Ff4db6fa6-c029-497d-beed-4670978c0d74%2F%2A~hmac=9c8a2028aeb806a2d58069a64e252e0d1faf12a7b28e8e6803c5c9c229e8af47/f4db6fa6-c029-497d-beed-4670978c0d74/v2/playlist/av/primary/sub/178394462-c-es-x-autogen/playlist.m3u8?ext-subs=1&locale=es&omit=av1-hevc-opus&pathsig=8c953e4f~mQdUxF--ZF0jy3FU1dkhfiUBQgMsor5r5UMe1TxxXRY&qsr=1&rh=rnfHI&sf=ts" --save-name gatodes

with the usuals tricks i just a short video not the full one...
i'm used to get m3u url in the config or directly in the console...

that's so strange because for this one, it works fine.

https://lumiton.ar/evento/el-perro-2/

needs argentinean IP, at least to launch the video.

yt-dlp -N8 https://lumiton.ar/evento/dias-de-pesca/

i got the same issue with my N_RE command, at the end it's not the good file downladed, it's a trailer instead of the full video


[Attachment 82579 - Click to enlarge]

like for me,
your command works or this one :

https://lumiton.ar/evento/el-perro-2/

but not for theses ones : it's seems strange...

try to download...wait and see

so strange... still the same problem. it download good but NOT the full file, it derivates to the a trailer of the video instead...

[2nHxWW6GkN1l916N3ayz8HQoi]

Same here. I assume you need Argentinian IP if you want to use yt-dlp directly without downloading from the playlist json

[abacaxi]

try to download...wait and see


[Attachment 82580 - Click to enlarge]

Ok,
it works... (my bad, i shut down the VPN for download and i shouldn't have)
but then the issue is that : not stable at all...

[Attachment 82582 - Click to enlarge]

do you see some command line with N_RE ?

EDIT : it's fine, i get it.
on this page all the videos needs ARG IP to reproduce the video so you can get the link.
but at the end half of the videos needs also ARG IP to download. some do, other no... that was the issue.
thanks for the help

I found a solution for embed urls
https://player.vimeo.com/video/yournumber?color&autopause=0&loop=0&muted=0&title=1&por...ait=1&byline=1

you have to search for avc url in the response

"files": {
"dash": {
"cdns": {
"akfire_interconnect_quic": {
"avc_url"

you should ignore the first avc url under cdns and focus on the hls avc_url


"hls": {
"captions": "https://vod-adaptive-ak.vimeocdn.com-e6c625497cad/v2/playlist/av/primary/sub/178884718-c-en-x-",
"cdns": {
"akfire_interconnect_quic": {
"avc_url":



I basically use this regex pattern which gets me the avc_url I want

pattern = r'"hls"\s*:\s*\{[^}]*"cdns"\s*:\s*\{[^}]*"akfire_interconnect_quic"\s*:\s*\{[^}]*"avc_url"\s*:\s*"([^"]+)"'

This url has weird characters

\u0026locale=en\u0026omit=av1-hevc-opus\u0026pathsig=8c953e4f~gXG6de9lwrKK3pKYfSu1lbC 9it-tMwNHTnemINkq6c4\u0026qsr=1\u0026rh=2ECZ8h\u0026sf =ts

Which need to be decoded
you can use
import urllib.parse


decoded_url = urllib.parse.unquote(avc_url)
fully_decoded_url = decoded_url.encode('utf-8').decode('unicode_escape')

decode them then use it as N_m3u8 command

N_m3u8DL-RE "fully_decoded_url " --header "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/131.0.0.0 Safari/537.36" --header "Referer: https://player.vimeo.com/" --save-name "yourfilename"

Hi, I hope it's okay for me to quote an old thread. If not, please let me know. I can start a new one.
I am a complete tech newbie but needed to download a video. This method worked for me, but I was wondering if there was some way to specify a lower resolution just to save space on my hard drive. It tends to download the best quality, but the videos also tend to be large files.

Thank you

Would it work for embedded vimeo videos? I need to save some course videos for future reference as the material is very dense. I downloaded the latest version of IDM and got a prompt I needed to pay or uninstall. Maybe I've tried it previously and don't recall. I'll try to download an older version and try it. Thanks for your recommendation.
