We had moved to the beta channel to fix the color bar splash screens in our Vimeo videos, but after the last round of updates we started seeing this when trying to play videos:

I returned us to the release channel, although one of our customer support representatives say they are now seeing color bars. I have not dug into that further yet, but I wanted to get this error logged.

Hello Steve,
it’s a bug in the fallback Vimeo loading. We will add automated testing for that part, due to it’s nature it’s a bit tricky to automate the test, but it’s really needed.
To get a fix right now please deactivate and delete the FV Player Pro plugin you are using, then hit “Install Pro extension” at the top of the wp-admin -> Settings -> FV Player screen. That will reinstall the plugin.
Then switch to the Beta release using the steps from here: https://foliovision.com/player/basic-setup/switching-fv-player-pro-to-beta
Then the issue will no longer appear.
Thanks,
Martin
