 Hi @wonderboymusic. Would it be possible to enhance a bit this fix to make
 it possible to add other video providers ? You could introduce an array
 similar to this one :

 {{{
 $video_provider = array(
     'video/youtube' =>
 '#^https?://(:?www\.)?(:?youtube\.com/watch|youtu\.be/)#'
 );
 }}}

 and pass it to a filter so that plugin developers can add new providers.
 Then, they would just need to use a js video player that support those
 providers. For example, I [forked
 mediaelement.js](https://github.com/johndyer/mediaelement/pull/663) to
 make it support Dailymotion videos in the same way it supports YouTube
 ones.
