Vimeo Pro embeds changed to 500px 4×3 overnight

    Hello! Thank you very much for coding and maintaining this plugin – I’ve used it extensively the past few years. I realize this is a bit of a hobby for you and you have other priorities, but I’m hoping you can help me solve a problem that arose overnight. I work for a company that produces short ads for small businesses across the US that get played in their local theaters. We use the company’s website to send proofs of the ads to our customers, so the site has several hundred hidden pages, each featuring a customer’s video for them to see. Needless to say, your plugin has been invaluable!

    However, sometime last night something changed (at Vimeo, I’m assuming), and ALL our embedded videos have changed from full-width to 500px wide at a 4×3 ratio. As I mentioned, we have hundreds of hidden pages in our site, but you can see what I’m talking about at: https://parrotfilm.com/advertiser-benefits/ (the video is at the bottom of the page).

    We’re using Fluid Video Embeds version 1.2.9, WP version 4.4.1 using a child of Twenty Fourteen theme, and Vimeo Pro. I’ve tried jiggling the FVE settings, notably the “Force 16:9 Aspect Ratio, but there has been no change. I’ve also tried disabling the CSS output after adding the relevant code to my child theme’s stylesheet, again, with no luck.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated! I’m a little under the gun, and the thought of revising several hundred pages with a different solution makes me shudder…

    Thank you!

  • Hi, I do not use this plugin on my site in order to achieve fluid video widths with proper aspect ratios, but I just had the same problem you did.

    Do you have JetPack installed for your site? Mine does, and the recent JetPack update was the culprit. I had to turn off the ‘Shortcode Embeds’ feature in the JetPack settings. Now everything is back to normal.

    I hope this proves to be true for you as well.

    DUDE! That solved the issue! JetPack was indeed the problem. I never would have thought of that… THANK YOU!

    How did you manage to get it working with Vimeo Pro?

    Did you have to change anything?

    Vimeo Pro videos do not work at all for me. They just don’t show up on the page.

    Any ideas?
