youtube-local routes https://youtube.com/watch?v=<vid> to http://your-domain.org/youtube.com/watch?v=<vid>
It does this because it has to route multiple domains, and it probably makes things simpler.

So if youtube-local were to soon also support another video platform (e.g. dailymotion), and they also use /watch?v=, this addon will correctly not transmit the id.
Also note that only ^\/watch would not match youtube-local's routes.

let id = urlObject.searchParams.get("v");
return id.length == 11 ? id : false;
} else if (urlObject.pathname.startsWith("/embed/")) {
try {
return urlObject.pathname.substr(7, 11);
} catch (e) {
console.error("[SB] Video ID not valid for " + url);
return false;
}
}
}
else if (m = urlObject.pathname.match(/^\/(?:youtube.com\/)?(?:embed|youtu.be)\/([^/]{11})/)) {

youtu.be should never be a valid URL since it is always redirected

I just tested it, and youtube-local does not redirect the /youtu.be/video_id path to /youtube.com/watch?v=video_id.
It just serves the video as if /youtube.com/watch?v=video_id was used.
Two ways:

  • Merge it as is. The allowance of /youtu.be/video_id is not "hurting" anoyne, right?
  • Remove youtu.be from the regex, and open a ticket on youtube-local. I believe that it should be a quick fix, but I am not 100% sure.. Maybe not being redirected is a feature (idk)?
