= Introduction =


* In order to use this plugin you will need the latest stable Dharma 10.0 release of XBMC. Older versions will not work.*
== Settings ==


This project is a plugin for the open-source media center XBMC, that enables XBMC to interface with [http://www.vimeo.com/ Vimeo].
=== AOMedia Video 1 (AV1) ===


== Features ==
If your Kodi installation supports AOMedia Video 1 (AV1)<ref>[http://aomedia.org/ Alliance for Open Media]</ref>, you can enable this setting to watch videos in AV1 format.
* Non-intrusive user notifications
* Video thumbnail browsing for a more pleasant user experience
* Searching (including locally cached searches)
* Explore Vimeo feature allowing casual browsing of Vimeo from your couch.
* Adding and removing "likes"
* Listing a users "likes"
* Joining or leaving a group
* Listing a groups videos
* Subscribing and Un-subscribing to channel.
* Authorize plugin access to user data on Vimeo from within plugin only
* Listing a channels videos and listing all new subscription videos
* Listing a contacts uploads, albums, groups, "likes" and channel subscriptions
* Plays videos that can't be embedded


=== Browser extensions ===
AV1 aims to be 30% more efficient than HEVC and VP9<ref>[https://bitmovin.com/av1-multi-codec-dash-dataset/ Best Video Codec: An Evaluation of AV1, AVC, HEVC and VP9]</ref>, so streaming AV1 videos will use less bandwidth and provide better video quality. But it will take some time until devices will ship with AV1 hardware support, so expect some stuttering on low-end devices.
Adds a "Play in XBMC" button under vimeo videos.


Some embeded videos will also have a "Play in XBMC" button, these may be badly placed.
=== Search template ===


* [http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=File:Vimeo-firefox.xpi Firefox extension]
You can configure a search template to refine your Vimeo search. Open the add-on settings and edit the ''Template'' value in the ''Search'' section. The string <code>{}</code> will be replaced by your search keyword.
* [http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=File:Vimeo-chrome.crx Chrome extension]


= Known problems =
==== Example ====
* One of the main features of the plugin is that it defaults to thumbnails view for video items. This only works when using the default "Confluence" skin as the plugin is dependent on the Id defined for confluences thumbnails view.
* It's currently impossible to search for a contact, and therefore not possible to add or remove a contact from withing the plugin. This is a limitation of vimeo's underlying API, Add or remove contact may be added in future, but searching will only be possible if vimeo add's this to their API.
* It's also impossible to refine a search and limit it to a specific user, channel or group, again this is a limitation of Vimeo's API.
* The plugin uses Vimeo Oauth API, and thus requires a synchronized system clock on the machine running XBMC. All communication with Vimeo will fail if the system has a time drift of even a few minuts.


= Feature request =
If you are searching for ''Kodi'' and your search template is <code>Foo {} -bar</code>, you will search Vimeo with the value ''Foo Kodi -bar''.
If you have a feature request then create a new post in the [http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?t=81052 Vimeo support thread].


= Reporting a bug =
== References ==
If you are having problems with the plugin or just have a query please do read the documentation and do a search on the XBMC [http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?t=81052 Vimeo support thread] before posting.


If you believe you have found a new bug, create a log (see below) and post in the [http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?t=81052 Vimeo support thread].

== Creating a usefull debug log ==
Typically users will report errors with descriptions that lack many important details. While we take all user reported errors seriously, its often is impossible to help if without a proper debug-log, this guide will take you through the steps to create such a log.
 
As such, if you want any help with this issue you must follow these steps.
# Open the plugin and go to "Advanced" in settings, enable "Plugin debug" and confirm.
# Find your debug Log here:
* Linux::
  $HOME/.xbmc/temp/xbmc.log
* Mac OSX:
  $User/Library/Logs/xbmc.log
* Windows 7 & Vista:
  \Users\<UserName>\AppData\Roaming\XBMC\xbmc.log
# Paste your debug log to http://pastebin.com/ ( Do NOT upload part of the log, we need the ENTIRE log. )
# Post a message [http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?t=81052 in this thread] with your debug log.
 
If you have problems following the guide, please ask on the [http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?t=81052 forum thread] and we will help you through it.
 
= Testing/Status =
Integration and unittests are run continously by Jenkins

= Thanks =
Thanks to mishk for his fork of dkm's vimeo-python client (can be found [http://github.com/mishk/python-vimeo here]) this greatly simplified development of the plugin and saved us a lot of sleepless nights fighting with oauth :)

Installing

This add-on is installed from the Add-on browser located in Kodi as follows:

  1. Settings
  2. Add-ons
  3. Install from repository
  4. Video Add-ons

  6. Install

Settings

AOMedia Video 1 (AV1)

If your Kodi installation supports AOMedia Video 1 (AV1)[1], you can enable this setting to watch videos in AV1 format.

AV1 aims to be 30% more efficient than HEVC and VP9[2], so streaming AV1 videos will use less bandwidth and provide better video quality. But it will take some time until devices will ship with AV1 hardware support, so expect some stuttering on low-end devices.

Search template

You can configure a search template to refine your Vimeo search. Open the add-on settings and edit the Template value in the Search section. The string {} will be replaced by your search keyword.

Example

If you are searching for Kodi and your search template is Foo {} -bar, you will search Vimeo with the value Foo Kodi -bar.
