Vimeo Metabox
Location: Post editor on enabled video post types (Movies, Short Videos, Episodes)
The Vimeo metabox connects individual posts to Vimeo Pro/Business videos.
Vimeo URL field
Paste a Vimeo video URL (e.g. https://vimeo.com/123456789) into Vimeo URL, then click Load Video Data.
When Vimeo is connected, MediaBlaster fetches:
- HLS stream URL → Media URL
- Duration, quality, format
- Tags and description (when Vimeo Settings allow)
- Title (when title import is enabled)
- Featured image thumbnail
Imported values populate rovidx_smarttv_* meta used by Roku feeds.
Upload to Vimeo
When Enable Vimeo Uploads is on and OAuth is connected, an Upload to Vimeo panel appears:
- Select a local video file
- Start upload — progress polls via AJAX
- On completion, the Vimeo URL and metadata can be loaded into the post
Requires sufficient Vimeo account storage and upload API permissions.
Prerequisites
- Enable Vimeo Integration on General Settings
- Integrations (Vimeo OAuth) completed
- Import preferences under Vimeo Settings
Bulk alternative
For many videos, use Vimeo Mass Import instead of per-post loading.
