Embedding Private Videos with Vimeo Pro

November 25th, 2011 | Posted by Huilaaja in Development | UI - (0 Comments)

Are you looking for the way to embed videos into your site that you don’t want anyone else to share? For example if your videos are only for certain people or users should pay for watching them. If so you might be interested of this article.

Vimeo has launched Pro account 1.8.2011 which makes sharing private videos much easier and cheaper. Price of Vimeo’s Pro account is 199$/year (150€/year = ~12€/month) and that’s all you need.

Here’s couple screenshots how you should configure secure way to embed private videos.

Vimeo Embedding Result. As you can see Video does not have any links to video's page or information how to embed video.

 

Embedding Source Code. Videos ID is visible but embedding other than huilaaja.net domain is impossible.

 

Vimeo Video is not visible for anyone. Even if you try to use video's ID to access video it's not possible.

 

I have done some Googling but I haven’t found any other service that would do the same with less than 100$/month. So I’m definitely recommending Vimeo for commercial use.

Mediaqueri.es uses following resolutions for screenshots. Resolutions are not official standard but largely agreed.

Javascript based resize links function depends on browser. At least IE9 still supports them.

Spotify stops playing after first song

It’s spotify’s new FEATURE.

WTF!  I thought my spotify client has some strange setting or a bug, but no.

Employee of Spotify answered:

Hi guys,

We have indeed changed how search results are played. As it was before many users would search for a specific song, listen to it, and then just leave their computer on streaming (without actually listening).

However, we are looking into how this has affected making a search into “Current Playlist”.

I’ll keep you updated,

Tom
