PatPux Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 I am having some difficulties with Vimeo video embeds in posts. I am inputting on an ipad 3rd generation via safari [vimeo] [/vimeo]This video is embedded as "vimeo] [/vimeo" brackets omitted so it shows as text, it shows on my ipad as a large blank space in safari and as "Flash video" inBlue text in the apphttp://www.vimeo.com/69140873 This video is embedded as "www.vimeo.com/69140873" it shows on my ipad as a blue highlighted clickable link in safari and the app How do you get the thumbnail to show? Anybody want to tell me what they see and what they are using to see it. And more importantly,what I am doing wrong an how to put it right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 Looks fine to me on a desktop Mac. IOS doesn't support Flash so maybe that's something to do with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, yes, I get it showing fine on my windows desktop. Guess you must be right about iOS and flash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PatPux Posted June 30, 2013 Author Share Posted June 30, 2013 Thanks, Pete. MacBooks and PCs seem to be fine. I'd be interested to hear from someone with an ipad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PatPux Posted June 30, 2013 Author Share Posted June 30, 2013 Thanks all. Looks like for ipad/phone that its blank if using the app vimeo tags, but shows as the clickable link if it is pasted in without tags, but either way, no thumbnail Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried their html embed code, but I don't really know what I'm doing and it didn't work. I did find something about creating the video for mobile devices, but I think it is only available on the pro version of vimeo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
