Product Gallery Vimeo Videos Don't Play Over HTTPS

[pioneerathletics]

Preconditions

1. Magento version 2.1.4 CE (PHP- 7.0.13)
2. Base URL set to https

Steps to reproduce

1. Changed the Base URL to https in order to make the entire site secure
2. Added a product with a Vimeo Video in the product gallery (used https url here as well)

Expected result

1. Product video should play as it did when base URL was set to http

Actual result

1. The video would not play
2. According to Dev Tools Console output -- Blocked due to Mixed Content error "( This request has been blocked; the content must be served over HTTPS.)"

You should see in Dev Tools Console which content was served via HTTP. There would be no error if everything was served via HTTPS in fact.

The content served via http is the video player. Even though, the url to Vimeo is https. That's why it is strange that the video is being blocked.

Mixed Content: The page at 'https://website.com/example' was loaded over HTTPS, but requested an insecure resource 'http://player.vimeo.com/video/1222222222222?api=1&player_id=vimeo12222222222222222&autoplay=1'. This request has been blocked; the content must be served over HTTPS.

same problem. any fix?

[pioneerathletics]

I fixed the issue by creating Magento_ProductVideo>web>js>load-player.js in my theme.
Then find line 320 in load-player.js and change http://player.vimeo.com/video/ to https://player.vimeo.com/video/

Now video plays as expected.

So, even though you've found a working workaround, it's still a bug in Magento CE?

Wouldn't you want to have it fixed in Magento itself, as well?
Just a friendly FYI: keeping the issue open might help with that, and a pull request is also an option.
