Vimeo widget slow to stream video

[Kevin Crow]

When using the vimeo widget, I can successfully use the basic api from vimeo to list a channel/user videos and assign the collection to a collapsable block. When testing everything works ok in a browser albeit it seems to take a while for the widget to actually start playing the video. I've exported the app to an apk and installed it on my phone but it seems to take "forever" to actually load the video and when it loads its not a smooth stream.
I created the same app using kimonolabs for an api and linked it directly to vimeo and I'm not experiencing the same issue. The only change is that the kimono api opens up the actual vimeo website and the widget just embeds. Is this a problem with the widget or a problem with the exporting? Any guidance or suggestions would be appreciated.

Could you please clarify do you mean that you're using Appery.io Vimeo component here?

[Kevin Crow]

Yes. the appery.io vimeo component. However after trying it out a few different ways.. they all seem to stream slow so i dont know if its a export problem or a vimeo on mobile phone problem. I am going to test out the youtube component and see it has the same behavior.

Sorry it has taken a bit for me to update, I've been trying different things seeing if I can come up with a solution. It's kind of hit or miss. Sometimes it streams fine, sometimes it's laggy. I will attribute this to trying to pull in a 720p video over data or slow internet connection. However a whole new set of problems has arrived. I went ahead and tested youtube. I had to figure out how to use their api but I am able to get a response and all of the video info I need from a playlist. Problem is when I use the same method as with vimeo, mapping the response to a collapsible and the videoID to the youtube widget, nothing works.

I have read on the forum about prior youtube issues with the video id but I'm unsure if those have been fixed as they were posted a year ago. This is what my youtube page looks like.
This is what the vimeo page looks like. Both are setup the same way, of course using different api's but the method is exactly the same. If I just use the youtube widget by itself with no service loaded, the video works. Trying to map a response does not.

Hello Kevin,

Could you please share print screen with your mapping?

I don't have the items mapped to the mobilecollapsblock_2 because I'm only testing 1 item currently.

Kevin,

You forget to map codeitem/code to collapsible block like you did for vimeo

[Kevin Crow]

When I map it to the block, I get nothing except a header.
