Hey!
Will TMDb ever support Vimeo videos? I've noticed that there are certain small-scale movies or short films that only have trailers uploaded to Vimeo and are unavailable on YouTube. I think it would be a nice feature to have. Maybe other video services as well.

Aren't they planning on changing their focus to be a store for "stock" video? Not sure if that means they'll just get rid of everything else or what the timescale is, though.

Hi @amory,
Yes, I have thought about adding support for Vimeo. I'm under the impression it's more popular with more indie crowd. Not sure about timing but yup, it's been on my radar for a bit.

would really be great. Vimeo is the portal of choice for indie filmmakers. The vimeo community is growing and it is a professional ad-free alternative to google's youtube.

Great news, Travis! There have been many cases over the years when I couldn't add a trailer since it was only on Vimeo. Thanks.

There is one little issue I've noticed. Not sure how much control you guys have over this, but for some reason Vimeo trailers aren't transferring over to film entries on Letterboxd. Last week I put in Vimeo trailers for various films (ex: Tampopo, Lou) but none of them have shown up on Letterboxd yet. Hope you can fix it! And I'm so glad this is available now, thank you very much!

Hi Amory, we don't have any control over that. You'll have to ask Letterboxd to add support for them as well.

What about the colour bars appearing on the first frame of a Vimeo video?
