 When embedding an external video file into a video widget, the video
 shortcode is currently failing to render the video due to the erroneous
 injection of a `loop` query parameter. The `loop` parameter was
 specifically added to work around a Vimeo issue, but the logic was not
 properly restricted to only effect Vimeo URLs. For more background, see
