Vimeo URLs not working in any environment

[angieherrera]

Hi!

oEmbed seems to have stopped working with Vimeo URLs. Similar to this issue but environment doesn't make a difference and oEmbed is up to date as far as I can tell.

YouTube URLs work without issue. For Vimeo URLs, in the CP we get a "Please check your URL." error message and on the front-end the video just doesn't show up.

• Craft Pro 3.9.13
• oEmbed 1.13.19

Not sure how else to troubleshoot.

Thank you!

Experiencing the same since circa yesterday!

The site in question is on Craft 3.9 and oEmbed 1.13.19 as well

If you're using v1.*, the issue is most likely with the core package embed/embed, currently set to "embed/embed": "^3.3". This branch is quite old and the core package has not been updated since then.

If running composer update embed/embed doesn't resolve the issue, you might need to reach out to the maintainers, as this plugin mainly serves as an interface for that package.

However, it could also be the plugin itself causing problems. I suggest checking the log files to see what might be causing the issue and then reporting here.

I'm currently swamped with work, but I can help if you provide more information about your specific problem. Once the logs offer some insight into where things are going wrong we can start working on a solution for you both.

Thank you @reganlawton for taking the time to respond! Unfortunately, my logs don't reveal anything. I'm simply getting a 200 OK and a "Please check your URL.".

I did try override embed/embed to ^4.4 but that resulted in all urls producing "Please check your URL."

One thing that would really help is if you could you point me to the location in the codebase where the "Please check your URL." error is produced? And where the embed/embed is invoked so I can try bumping the version on a fork 🙏

EDIT: I suppose this is the file on V1 https://github.com/wrav/oembed/blob/v1/src/services/OembedService.php

We are experiencing the same issue as of this morning on a CraftCMS 3 site running:

Craft Pro 3.9.13
oEmbed 1.13.19

Not currently getting any useful errors.

Same issue here as well:

Craft Pro 3.0.13
oEmbed 1.13.19

Same Error "Please check your URL."

[angieherrera]

Thanks for the response @reganlawton. I'm unfortunately not seeing any specific errors in the logs either.

[reganlawton]

@d-simon if we would to use more updated embed/embed version aka v4 you'll have to update the plugin and in that case the CMS.

It seems that the core package is no longer working with the service, this is most likely due to VIMEO changing its API spec and discontinuing the older spec.

I'd recommend checking if your able to update your sites as v1 of Oembed is not really supported as the version that the plugin uses is the older version of the core package, the newer version have a COMPLETE rewrite.

@d-simon This is why updating the embed to v4.x will cause errors the core package is completely different code wise.

[reganlawton]

Just to be clear, Oembed V3 supports both CraftCMS 4 and 5.

It is a breaking change internally and may differ code wise as the core plugin changed internally and it wasn't really possible with my limited time to get 100% coverage on old features.

But 98% of everything still there and shouldn't impact unless you were looking for something niche

[Slgoetz]

Any update here? Same setup, same experience.

[reganlawton]

I looked into the issue and found that Vimeo is rate limiting Status Code 429.

I'm guessing they have stopped supporting embedding videos that aren't authenticated. I'm looking into what I can do my end.

[reganlawton]

Can confirm that CraftCMS 4+ and latest version of the plugin are not impacted so this has to be an issue with the old OEMBED that is used with Vimeo.

I'm seeing if there is a workaround.

[reganlawton]

I have a temp fix but it'll be using the same code of the newest branch just removing all the static typing stuff from I'll post a new composer tag when it's up.

This is a HOTFIX and will need some testing as the core package we use, embed v4, is different from embed v3 I've tried matching features but as discussed there are edge cases that could cause issues.

[reganlawton]

Ok, so for anyone that wants the temp fix.

"wrav/oembed": "dev-hotfix/vimeo-craft-v3"

You'll need to check the changes to your sites but 98% it's all the same. If you want more fixes, let me know or make a PR, I'll be able to help up till about 1-2am AEST.

As always this is a quick resolve there may be bugs PLEASE test and report them if they are found.

First off: Thank you @reganlawton for taking the time for this! Amazing! 🙌

PHP 7.4: Union types don't exist yet. Plugin works in displaying. Fails to create preview and fails to save.

PHP ^8: Plugin works in displaying. Succeeds saving. Just fails to create a preview with this error:

yii\base\ErrorException: Type of wrav\oembed\controllers\DefaultController::$allowAnonymous must not be defined (as in class craft\web\Controller) in /var/www/html/vendor/wrav/oembed/src/controllers/DefaultController.php:24
Stack trace:

EDIT: Removing line 30 in DefaultController fixes the preview: // protected array|int|bool $allowAnonymous = false;

EDIT2: After removing line 30 saving for PHP version 7.4 fails with this error:

Thank you @reganlawton for the hotfix.
I made a fork that removes the mixed types for PHP 7.4 & also replaces www.vimeo.com/ & vimeo.com/ with player.vimeo.com/video to fix some CSP issues.

Do I need to make a PR for it?
