I am also having this issue? Anyone know what is going on?

Vimeo changed their image URL format, but it seems that they didn't bother to notify their customers about it. My best guess is that Vimeo changed the underlying storage architecture for their images, resulting in new URLs. Remapping the old image URLs to the new ones may have been something that they didn't think was worthwhile.
Fortunately Vimeo seems to have loosened up their API rate limits. For example a Pro account now allows 250 API requests per minute. It used to only be 500 per hour. So for many Roku channels it may not be necessary to use URLs for images or streams anymore, so long as the channel can communicate with the Vimeo API.

The reply you posted does not help me as a user of the Vimeo app. As you saw from the screen shot, all the previews are gone. Are you suggesting that all developers will need to remap the old image URLs to the new ones in order to get the previews back?
