 Hi,

 Issue :
 Vimeo Embed link does not appear in the post (not even in the source code
 of the blog post) when using private link.


 Current Behavior :
 When copy/pasting a "private video link" from Vimeo into the WordPress
 Post editor (default one) the embed is done automatically, but does not
 display / work on the post once published.


 Expected behavior :
 Copy/paste the Vimeo link to wordpress, emebed is done autoamtically, when
 publishing video is visible ont he blog page.

 How to reproduce :
 - Get a Vimeo "private link" to a video
 - Paste the Private link to a new blog post
 - (WP will Auto embed the vimeo videpo player)
 - publish post
 - Post does not contain the video.
 - If you edit the same blog post, the video is in there.


 How to solve (workaround)
 > Embed the vimeo player as an "embed" link using the
 "player.vimeo.com/video/VIDEOID".


 What is causing the problem ?
 From my experience & debugging : This behavior is mostly with Vimeo
 "private link".
 Wordpress will automatically embed even is you copy the private link and
 it will work in the admin (and if you are connected on your vimeo
 account). But this will not show up on the page/blog post once published.


 Embed expect the following : player.vimeo.com/video/VIDEOID
 The private link is : vimeo.com/VIDEOID/RANDOMUNIQUEIDHERE


 The vimeo page via private link is providing the info for oembed (json &
 xml) in its source.

 (first time submitting a bug report here. Edit if required.)
