I noticed the module jrVimeo did not pull a video category from the API.

I was wondering if this was something that could be added to the module in the future.

Thanks

Iirc Vimeo didn't provide category in their video data which is why I did include it when developing the module. If that wasn't the case, or they are doing it now then yes, we can add it in.

I looked at the API and I see what your saying. I was working and have an audio / video wall module developed. I have jrVideo, jrYoutube, jrSoundcloud, & jrAudio showing the categories/genre however all of the vimeo catagories have a * or NULL which im now having to work around because its not consistent with the data I am working with.

I see that Vimeo does have categories available however there is not an example of pulling that content from the API. Just a suggestion and possible viable solution here is that the module could use a field in the data store for categories that way users can edit the video after import and set their video category. I noticed the vimeo module is the only one that lacks this field.

Thanks

I'll check the Vimeo data again to see if there are categories.
If not you could just add the field with the Form Designer so that your users could add it after import.

OK - Have checked a few Vimeo videos API data and am still not seeing any evidence of them having a category so still assuming they don't do that.
So as I suggested above, use the Form Designer so that your users could add it after import.
