My videos are unlisted - I embed them on my website but do not make them publicly available through my Vimeo channel. The link you provided is a public video. Unlisted videos have a 2-part URL as I've provided. When I made one of my videos public, It converts to a 1-part URL.

In short, your JS is truncating off part of the 2-part URL and leaving the renderer with an invalid URL. It is a simple fix, I think, to correct this to handle both public and unlisted URLs.

We've been going around on this for a couple of weeks, 1 day at a time due to the time difference between California where I am and your support staff. Please let me know how/when this can be resolved.

@scott-schoenthal,

You should start with privacy of your videos, I will send this to our DEV and let you know what we can do here.

Thanks. It seems like a simple code change. As I noted, my videos are unlisted as I use my web site as a point of access, rather than publishing public videos.

@scott-schoenthal,

We tried to open your video URL in an Incognito tab and we got the same "Sorry
This video does not exist." error.

That means that you cannot open the video until it has been published, in this case it not about wpForo Embed, you cannot watch the video even if you paste it in the browser address bar.

This video plays when I paste it into the browser bar:

@scott-schoenthal,

In the new version of the plugin, this type of URL would work a*s well.

@kylew 3.0.2 seems to have corrected the problem, thank you.
