Support parsing youtube.com/{live,shorts} URLs shared from other apps #1010
Conversation
YouTube now use the new format for live streams and shorts. The pattern is https://www.youtube.com/{live,shorts}/<video id>. But other than pattern change, the video ID is otherwise completely compatible with the old format. Since this pattern is similar to https://youtu.be/ format, re-use that code by re-shuffle the conditions a bit. The change is applied to both default and Invidious plugins. Fixes: xbmc#966

@peat-psuwit - plugin.video.youtube supports loading a variety of different YouTube urls using the following plugin url format All you would need to do is check whether the host ends with This allows a number of additional urls (channels/users, clips, embeds, etc.) to be supported, including shorts and live streams, without needing to parse the url in Kore. |
