Hi,

thanks for reporting this bug, I can confirm this problem.

The main problem is the way Vimeo uses to render their plugin controls. They are not included in flash, but instead they are rendered on top of the Flash plugin. Unfortunately this doesn't seem to work that well yet, probably because the rendering works different with Wine in many ways.

As a workaround you can just right-click and disable "Embed into browser", and then refresh the page. When you do this the controls stay visible in the browser and you should see the video in a new window. Everything except fullscreen works well (instead of fullscreen you could just resize the separate plugin window).

I'm not yet sure if its possible to fix this problem because of the lots of differences between pipelight and the real flash rendering (the browser doesn't know in our case when the plugin is redrawed, and doesn't get any events), but we'll take a look at it.

Sebastian
