At Vimeo you have the possibility to access your videos directly (MP4 File). The Problem now is that when I enter this direct link to the MP4 file at the Enfold video fields it doesn’t work. Maybe there’s a bug here and the theme still tries to load the Vimeo iFrame player version. This is a bad solution because the Vimeo iFrame player often doesn’t work or is very slow in comparison to the direct link. In the private section you can find a direct link to a video video. Is there a solution?
Hey convecto,
If you have a direct link you have to manually create an vide embed object.

Just pasting that link might not work.

Sorry, that was not the question. I Know how to embed videos. I want to add the video to the Avia video field e.g. as a background video in a slider. Unfortunately your theme thinks this is a ‘normal’ Vimeo video link and tries to embed the Vimeo iFrame player i suppose. I need a solution for this.
cheers, Julian
Hosting on our server is not an option because we need Vimeos CDN for worldwide delivery. I think it’s a bug within the theme. As you said, the link is working. I think the Enfold theme is searching for the iFrame version because the word “vimeo” is in the URL. Is there a chance that you can fix that in future versions?
