Hi I would like sometimes to switch between my two Vimeo accounts. To
do so I must logout but it's impossible. It redirects to a Vimeo web
page in a browser that closes automatically after less than one
second, so I can't log out. Uninstalling and re-installing does not
solve the problem.
Also, some videos can be played, some not (white screen), why?

It's because when you authorize the app again, it takes you to the
Vimeo website in your browser. Vimeo sees that you're already logged
in and have authorized the app, so it automatically redirects you to
the app.

To get around this, you'll need to go to Vimeo.com in your browser
first, and then logout from their site. Once you've done this, open
up the Vimeo Droid app and then logout and reauthorize the app.

Also, some of the old videos on Vimeo were encoded using Flash video.
The media player in android doesn't support flash videos, so what I do
is render the video using a web browser (which has a white
background). Ensure that you have the Flash plugin installed if
you're trying to watch older videos.

Hi Makoto, the logout problem is now solved thanks.
About the videos I can't view, yes, the web video browser is in fact white, but most of them are not old: one of them has been uploaded yesterday. Maybe I can't play because they are password protected (though I was logged in as the creator)?
Can you suggest me the exact name of the plugin on the Android market?
Thanks!

Hi Makoto, I confirm that if a video is password protected it's not possible to watch it (white screen) with Vimeo Android. If I lift the password, immediately after the same video is viewed on Android.
Please let me know where to download the Flash plugin in order to watch OLD Vimeo clips, thanks!
