Vimeo Talk and ?
Lets talk vimeo. I am no stranger to being part of the vimeo tribe and them having there own ott service back in the days of ROKU Direct publisher. I mean every video sevice out there even wistia was trying to get a piece of the pie, even amazon S3 stepped into the picture and we all tried that! But vimeo took a spot light in the Roku Developer forums with rising concerns of Bandwidth issues and charges. This started a little tug of war between Roku and Vimeo and Vimeo decided to back away from ott and to cator to mobile and website video, They stopped supporting ott. This caused a panic and sent developer scambling for new video hosting or work arounds to keep using vimeo.
Today if you visit the Roku Developer Forums there is still some small talk about vimeo! I like this Plugin and Laurnch kit and want to move forward testing with it. I have not got to the point to try adding any video outside of vimeo and think it should have this feature to add other platforms. If not it should be added! I think it would add value to the plugin which BTW I don't think it should be free! But here is a small list from the course on adding video:
MediaBlaster works seamlessly with Vimeo (preferred),
AWS, BunnyCDN, and DaCast, it does not support YouTube videos. This is a restriction on YouTube's side regarding how they allow their media to be served, and there is no workaround! Yep I remember Roku going after many direct publishers for using and reusing youtube video to create channels with the same content under different names. This caused legal issues so stay away from youtube!
I guess We will have to see if bandwidth issues arise from vimeo in our future!
Whats your thoughts on vimeo?
