Comment:

 In a post editor, if I add the following:

 {{{
 [video src="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i_cVJgIz_Cs&feature=youtu.be"]

 [video src="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i_cVJgIz_Cs"]
 }}}

 Then when I look at the rendered output it generates:

 {{{
 <video class="wp-video-shortcode" id="video-97-1" width="640" height="360"
 preload="metadata" controls="controls"><source type="video/youtube"
 src="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i_cVJgIz_Cs&feature=youtu.be&_=1"
 /><a
 href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i_cVJgIz_Cs&feature=youtu.be">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i_cVJgIz_Cs&feature=youtu.be</a></video>

 <video class="wp-video-shortcode" id="video-97-2" width="640" height="360"
 preload="metadata" controls="controls"><source type="video/youtube"
 src="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i_cVJgIz_Cs&_=2" /><a
 href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i_cVJgIz_Cs">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i_cVJgIz_Cs</a></video>
 }}}

 But then when ME.js builds the players, I then see the first iframe URL is
 clearly wrong compared to the second:

 *
 https://www.youtube.com/embed/watch?controls=0&wmode=transparent&enablejsapi=1&origin=http%3A%2F%2Fwestonruter.example.com&widgetid=2
 *
 https://www.youtube.com/embed/i_cVJgIz_Cs?controls=0&wmode=transparent&enablejsapi=1&origin=http%3A%2F%2Fwestonruter.example.com&widgetid=1

 Notice how the first one lacks the video ID entirely.

 I think we need to (1) upgrade the URLs to be HTTPS, and (2) normalize the
 YouTube and Vimeo URLs
