Our website lets people add videos by submitting a URL - usually one from YouTube or Vimeo. I'd like to show thumbnails, when giving people a list of videos.
YouTube make this easy for me - just slap "1.jpg" on the end of the URL, and you've got your image.
Vimeo seem to want me to make a HTTP request, and extract the thumbnail URL from the XML they return - what? Who's got time for that?!!! Plus, I'd have to store these URLs too, I can't get them on the fly for a page that lists 20 videos.
Is there an easier way to get Vimeo thumbnails? I can't find one...
