setCurrentTime fails silently for Vimeo iframe embeds in iOS Safari

Expected Behavior

For setCurrentTime to seek the Vimeo player and display the frame at the passed timestamp. Or for setCurrentTime to return an error in the catch method.

For comparison, the YouTube iframe player will display the frame at the passed timestamp in iOS Safari when seekTo is called via the iframe API.

Actual Behavior

The player does not seek and does not return an error in iOS Safari.

Steps to Reproduce

CodePen debug view | CodePen editor view

Correct behavior on desktop

1. Open the linked debug view on a desktop browser.
2. Scroll up/down.
3. Note the video scrubbing in the background, also note the console logging setCurrentTime invocation, and success or failure.

Incorrect behavior on mobile

1. Open the linked debug view in iOS Safari.
2. Scroll up/down.
3. Note the video not responding, also note the console logging setCurrentTime invocation but never logging success or failure.

Compare to YouTube

CodePen debug view | CodePen editor view

Correct behavior on mobile

1. Open the linked debug view in iOS Safari.
2. Scroll up/down.
3. Note the video scrubbing successfully.

Additional Note

I think this may be resolved by enabling the new playsinline feature within the iframe embed.

@ehmorris would you mind having a look if this issue persists? We recently had several fixes go out, including the throwing errors correctly in catch.

Awesome! I will reference #20 here to keep that in mind when adding a start time option. Thanks for your feedback!
