Problem:

I purchased the pro version of Vimeo Video Post plugin and am trying to get it to work with Toolset.
https://codeflavors.com/vimeo-video-post/

This plugin creates a CPT in WordPress and not only imports Vimeo videos but also the meta-data for each video directly from Vimeo, including the thumbnail, description, title, etc. as entered in the settings for each video on Vimeo.com,

I am hoping to use this CPT and this meta data in Views. I want to display the thumbnail and title of the video on the front end that links to a page containing the video itself.

I can see the vimeo-video CPT in my Toolset dashboard but I am unable to create a field group in order to create a View.

Solution:

The "vimeo-video-post" plugin stores field value as an array in a single custom field "__cvm_video_data", so it can not be displayed directly within Views shortcode, but you can create a custom shortcode for it,

for example, you can use wordpress function add_shortcode() to register a new custom shortcode

And get the value of custom field "__cvm_video_data" from database:
https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_post_meta

Then output values as what you want, I suggest you check it with the author of Vimeo Video Post plugin, check if there is any existed shortcode within Vimeo Video Post plugin, if there isn't add a feature request for it.
