We have an issue with Vimeo and safari on both mobile and desktop, clashing with the hummingbird. When the video has a domain-level restriction, it cannot be viewed on safari – it says access is restricted. This is the response from Vimeo
“- We rely on the referrer header passed by the website to determine
whether or not the embedded video can be viewed. If the referrer is
incorrect, or if there is no referrer, the video will show the
permission error you’re seeing.
– The iframe does not send a referrer header when on Safari using the lazy loading function.
– In order to resolve this, you can either change the data-src attribute to
src, or remove the domain-level privacy on the video in its settings
page.”
I can verify that deactivating hummingbird resolves the issue, however, the site really does rely on the hummingbird, and we can’t leave it. We also can’t remove the privacy settings, it’s a legal services site, and having the videos public is not an option. How can we adjust things so that those videos are still viewable on safari? Please check and help.
