How to duplicate Vimeo shortcode

    I use the standard Vimeo shortcode for embedding Vimeo videos (http://en.support.wordpress.com/videos/vimeo/), and really like the responsive markup it produces.

    I also have my own video player that I would like to embed in the EXCACT same way, by simple pasting http://www.mydomain/v/12345 in the text editor (12345 is the id of the video). Should parse out the id, insert an iframe with a slightly different url (say http://www.mydomain/v/player?id=12345) etc. Basically the same stuff that happens with the Vimeo shortcode.

    Do I have to edit core files, and in that case which and what, or could I add something to my functions.php file?

    All help is much appreciated!

    Never edit core files! Things will not go well for you if you do. In this case in particular, there should not be any need. The embed code comes from the WP_oEmbed class. I don’t know much about this class, but I see useful filters you can hook which should allow you to do what you want from functions.php or your own custom plugin. Good luck!
