using the api against /videos/ID I get a bunch of links, select the corret format and them i'm good to play on my own website.
But it's slow, i'm not on USA and it's slow for my customers.
(I'm a vimeo PRO subscriber)
Recently, checking a similar website, I've noticed that their urls are generates like
https://13-lvl3-pdl.vimeocdn.com/01/1924/4/....
And mine are generated like
https://fpdl.vimeocdn.com/vimeo-prod-skyfire-std-us/01/4067/6/...
The first one, that i could not discover how to get on my own videos, is really faster and lower latency.
Any light on this would be very appreciated.
These urls are dynamically generated on the server. There is no programatic way that you can change which CDN url you receive.
Please reach out to vimeo.com so they can dig more into why it performs so slowly for you.
