The joys of code!

The youtube aspect worked great for me, it was just the vimeo side. I solved this by replacing the get_vimeo_uri function with the code example provided by vimeo here – https://github.com/vimeo/vimeo-oembed-examples/blob/master/oembed/php-example.php

I had to make a small tweak to pass the full url rather than just the id.

function get_vimeo_thumbnail_uri( $clip_id ) {
		$clip_id = 'https://vimeo.com/'.$clip_id;
		
	
		$oembed_endpoint = 'http://vimeo.com/api/oembed';

// Grab the video url from the url, or use default
$video_url = ($_GET['url']) ? $_GET['url'] : $clip_id;

// Create the URLs
$json_url = $oembed_endpoint . '.json?url=' . rawurlencode($video_url) . '&width=640';
$xml_url = $oembed_endpoint . '.xml?url=' . rawurlencode($video_url) . '&width=640';
// Curl helper function
function curl_get($url) {
    $curl = curl_init($url);
    curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
    curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 30);
    curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1);
    $return = curl_exec($curl);
    curl_close($curl);
    return $return;
}
// Load in the oEmbed XML
$oembed = simplexml_load_string(curl_get($xml_url));
/*
    An alternate approach would be to load JSON,
    then use json_decode() to turn it into an array.
*/

return $oembed->thumbnail_url;
