 Related issue from the mejs repo:
 https://github.com/mediaelement/mediaelement/issues/1938

 So it seems the conversion to https along with the removal of query params
 should probably happen in the video shortcode logic to best cover both use
 cases ( video widget and direct shortcode usage ).  FWIW I've never seen a
 Vimeo share/embed link have url args attached to it - but still having an
 argument whitelist for both services seems like a great way to safeguard
 random bugs like this.
