M3U8 playback issues with Vimeo and JW Player

M3U8 streams which previously played back without issues have started to fail with "Cannot load M3U8: cross domain access denied" errors.

The video embed logic in our application hasn't changed, video playback worked without issues last week, this week it's failing. :/

Replacing the M3U8 URL in the embed with the equivalent Mobile, Standard or High def video playback URL from Vimeo resolves the issue but obviously means we can't utilise M3U8.

We're using JW Player 6.12 for playback, you can see the issue demonstrated on the following test page:

M3U8 files from Vimeo use 302 re-directs, which our Flash HLS implementation does not support.

If you update the player url that you are using to https, it should work. In that case it will do a 302 redirect to the actual HLS manifest.
