I would like to know whether others are having this issue. If you're unable to run Vimeo videos used on APOD, please post details (OS/browser/version) here; thank you!Since the Astronomy Picture of The Day site has started using videos embedded from Vimeo, I have been unable to make a single one play on my computer. The error console gives the following message: "Error: uncaught exception: Permission denied to call method Location.toString". This is apparently a well known problem. The link on the Firefox forum is: "http://support.mozilla.com/pa-IN/questions/796279". The link on the Vimeo forum is: "http://vimeo.com/forums/topic:35904".
According to the forums, Vimeo attempted a fix but it only works on Firefox version 3.6. All other versions are still having problems. In my own case, all that I get is a black field where the player is supposed to be showing.
(Please keep comments to the issue of Vimeo not working, rather than comments about whether APOD should be showing videos. Thanks!)
