Improving regex for parsing YouTube / Vimeo URLs

Question

I\'ve made a function (in JavaScript) that takes an URL from either YouTube or Vimeo. It figures out the provider and ID for that particular video (demo: http://jsfiddle.net

Answer 1

3) Your regex does not match https url's. I haven't tested it, but I guess the "http://" part would become "http(s)?://". Note that this would change the matching positions of the provider and id.
