Sorry for your time, but the problem seems to be definitely on my side.

First, the first two rows I get them a lot, because for every listitem for the videos I do a setInfo('video',...) and a setProperty('IsPlayable', 'true') but because it's not a video file url but a plugin url it throws this error.
If I do a listitem.setInfo('files',...), it doesn't throw the error but it's also not playable either because it's not a video anymore.

Second, I have a function that creates the url for the plugin call by just adding the video id at the end.
There's some code getting the video id and at the end only does a

Code:

return "plugin://plugin.video.vimeo/play/?video_id="  + link[0]

where link is a list that has the id in the first list element. I also tried str(link[0]) to be sure it adds a string and it doesn't work either. I put up a xbmcgui.Dialog().ok() to check and the url is alright. Weirdly enough, if I hardcode the link as in

Code:

return "plugin://plugin.video.vimeo/play/?video_id=438518823"

it finally works and did play the video! There must be some Python thing (maybe incompatible types?) I don't know about. My platform is LibreElec with Kodi 18.8 and Python 2.7 on a Raspberry Pi 4.
