Vimeo Android App

[Leontina Heidgerken]

Hieveryone, any help greatly appreciated. A user of my app: app.scoreboardsoccer.com is trying to play the videos which are embedded on the app via vimeo. When clicking play a circles spins on the screen before taking him back to the previous screen, the video does not play.

I have no solution for you . But , same problem happened to me in other area . All the payments are sucessful in every mobile except samsung mobiles . It was not allowing 3D secure payments . Issue happening with samsung phones only .

I've cast vids from vimeo to chromecast for years, on my older chromecasts. Recently, I've noticed some videos will cast, and some won't, no rhyme or reason which. I recently got a current chromecast, and it doesn't play any videos cast from vimeo. It starts them, and then they immediately pause. Pressing play again advances the video a second or two, but then it pauses again.

Having your videos pause constantly has to be pretty annoying, so I'd be happy to help you figure this out. First, I would go ahead and reboot the Chromecast with Google TV. Then, clear out the cached app data on both the Google Home and Vimeo apps. Finally, make sure both devices are on the same network band, either 2.4GHz or 5GHz.

Before now, Vimeo Android App has no support for Chromecast streaming. This felt like an obvious omission, especially since this functionality was included in the Vimeo iOS app. However, the company corrected this issue in 2016 with the updated version of the Vimeo Chromecast Android App. That means you can cast and beam your favorite Vimeo contents to your dongle-powered monitor or TV from your Chromecast Vimeo Android App. In this article, I will show you how to Chromecast Vimeo video from your phone to your TV using the Vimeo Android App.

Chromecast is a streaming media adapter produced by Google that lets users play online content like videos and digital television. This streaming media adapter is a dongle that you can plug into your TV's HDMI port and connected with a cable to the USB port of your TV to power it.

With this media adapter, you can use your smartphone, tablet, laptop, or desktop computer as a TV remote and stream contents from these devices using a cast enabled app. That means you can stream from different sources like Hulu, Netflix, Google Play movies and music, Vimeo, YouTube, and Chrome.

Vimeo Video sharing and viewing platform now boast of a mobile app (Vimeo Chromecast application) with fully integrated Chromecast support for Android and iOS devices. This function will let you stream videos from your Android smartphone and watch the videos by casting them to your big screen television. So, if you love short films, music videos, or you are a video creator or distribute videos using the Vimeo platform, you can stream them on your large screens with a Vimeo Chromecast application. However, you need to use the Chromecast dongle with the Vimeo app to cast videos from your smart device to TV.

Vimeo has separate apps for computer, Android, and iOS devices, but we would be concentrating on the Vimeo Android App in this guide. Read on as we provide the guide to use the Chromecast Vimeo Android phone app with the Chromecast dongle to watch videos on a large screen TV.

Before now, the Vimeo app for Android does not support the casting option. So, its users depend on using its mirroring option as the only option to cast their favorite videos onto large screen Television from an Android device. As of now, Vimeo has corrected this issue by including the casting option in the Vimeo Android app. That means you can now cast Vimeo from Android smart devices to your TV by simply selecting the cast icon on the app to cast your videos.

This post discussed how to Chromecast Vimeo Video to Android App by following some quick and easy steps. With those steps above, you can Chromecast Vimeo android videos or stream Vimeo from an Android device with Chromecast and watch it live on your Television. Now that you know how to Chromecast Vimeo android videos, you can plunge yourself into the endless Vimeo entertainment and start streaming and casting HD videos to your sizeable smart screen television.

We have general library instructions here in our docs. You need to save the link to the library within the app or in your organization's advanced settings. After that, if the library is compatible with Retool, you should be able to use it as expected. You won't need to do anything else to import it.

Hi Tess,

I believe that the vimeo.min.js library is not included in Retool's list of supported libraries. However, I was able to set up a Vimeo API REST instead, and it is working perfectly.

Thank you very much.

Kind regards,

Sarah

Then create a Window Loaded trigger and use that Custom JavaScript variable in it. If the Vimeo player is present, this trigger will be activated. If there is no Vimeo player, that trigger will remain silent.

Create a Custom HTML tag and paste the following code. The original authors of this code are Bill Tripple and Bogdan Bistriceanu from Cardinal Path) but to make it more convenient for GA4, I have modified the code (a bit). Also, there were some other minor updates that were made over the years.

Last but not least, Google Analytics. Now you need to send an event and pass the corresponding data with it. Create a new tag, select GA4 event as Tag Type, and enter the following configuration:

Those who have been following Analytics Mania for a while know that I have compiled a library of ready-made GTM container templates (called recipes). A portion of those recipes also involves video tracking.

Hi Julius, thank you for the wonderful post. I have one question related to the Vimeo videos defined inside iframe but with data-src, is there any way to track them since the proposed way here doesn't catch anything?

This code is not for GA4 only. Maybe the video player is not available on page load and it appears in a popup after a click. This code supports only those videos that are loaded together with the page.

Hi Julius,

Thank you for the great tutorial to track Vimeo videos in GA. I followed your instructions very closely but I cannot see video percentage in GA even though I can see it and, the progress, in the Tag Assistant. Is there anything I need to go in GA or GTM for this value to appear in the analytics?

Thank you for the great work you do!

Hi Julius!

I was wondering if Vimeo have changed anything recently, because the listener stopped working for me? I've used it for years on various websites with great success, but on the most recent website the variable "Is Vimeo player present on a page" always returns false. Even if I load the listener everywhere by default, no events are pushed, and I'm thinking something on Vimeo's end may have changed.

Do you have any info on that or any suggestions?

Thanks!

Having the ID be the key of the videolabels object isn't necessary anywhere else in the script, and the oembed call was failing on this because it was looking for an array key of "0" rather than "vimeo_player_0", which is what the ID was. This got my tracking working.

This is brilliant, thank you!

I found that

video_title: _playerTitle[getLabel(data.player_id)].toLowerCase()

throws an error in cases where a video is not shared on Vimeo.com (at least I think that's the issue), since vimeoCallback returns nothing and .toLowerCase() errors when called on a non-string value.

I added a conditional assignment to set the title to the video ID if vimeoCallback fails, which is sufficient for my purposes.

var title = (_playerTitle[getLabel(data.player_id)]) ? _playerTitle[getLabel(data.player_id)].toLowerCase() : getLabel(data.player_id);

Hey, thanks! Can you share the updated code? I will test this on various situations, and if it works, then I will update the code in the article (+ include you in the notes as one of the contributors, if you want)

Does this apply only to Vimeo accounts that have google analytics enabled? (Currently as I write this that is only for Vimeo Business plans $50/mo, but 2 months ago it covered Vimeo Pro plans $20/mo too.

Hey there, Julius! Thank you very much for this tutorial.

I have this issue where the video tracking tag is firing twice. It has this behaviour only when testing tags in browser, through Network tab and by Tag Pipes. If I test it in Google Tag Assistant, tag fires only once, as expected. It is not an issue with the script, I checked it.

Do you have any idea why would this happen?

Thank you in advance :)

How would you alter this for a modal? I had this set up for modals in the previous versions but switching over I get multiple pushes to the datalayer for some states. For example, when I launch the modal I get 4 events for 'pause' and 0% progress. Play gives me 2 event for play. I only get one event for each of the progress stages (25,50,75 and 100) and then 2 events for pause 100% when the video is done.
