Vimeo embed thumbnail url is wrong

Prismic for Content Creators
1

Hello :slight_smile:

It seems Vimeo has changed the way they handle the thumbnail urls a few days / weeks ago.
I now have all my thumbnail urls displaying the default one because the urls I get from prismic are wrong.
Here is what I get :

defaultr
defaultr1600×900 16.2 KB

I'll give you one example, the url I should get for my thumbnail is the following :
"https://i.vimeocdn.com/video/1069849511-51e95ff2ecee8c1053490881fca35cc18b5a5d1999c14593d76374258f5835cc-d"

And what I get from prismic is this one :
"https://i.vimeocdn.com/video/1069849684_640"

Looks like the id has changed :slight_smile:

Hi @romain,

Thanks for reaching out,

Can you please list the embed field that is returning the wrong thumbnail, an example of the broken thumbnail from Prismic and not from vimeocdn, and your repository name (in a private message if possible).

In fact, I wasn't able to reproduce the issue, and here is my test:

I've added a Vimeo video to an embed field in Prismic and fetch the document using the API, and the thumbnail seems correct.

Looking forward to your reply,

Hi Fares,

Thanks for your time. It actually seems like it is an issue from the plugin gatsby-source-prismic after upgrading it to the latest version. I posted an issue on their github instead :slight_smile:

I should have verified with an api call before posting, sorry about that

Have a nice day
