Chrome YouTube incorrect title/artist

[ceilingwaffle]

Issue

For this Youtube video, the correct title/artist should be:

Title: "Ob-la-di ob-la-da - The Beatles (LYRICS/LETRA) [Original]" Artist: "el perro beatle"

But instead, it's showing as:

Title: "la-di ob-la-da - The Beatles" Artist: "Ob"

My theme.css

:root {

    --progress-color: #67736e;

    --height: 6.0rem;

#song-container {
    bottom: 0;
    right: 0;
    transform-origin: right;
    background: #2b2b2b;
    box-shadow: 0 0 4px 2px #111;
}

#song-info {
    padding: 10px 20px 10px 10px;
}

Not using any custom JS. The issue also occurs with the default CSS. Tested with other videos, but even those with a similar number of hyphens in the title seem to be fine.

Let me know if you need any more info. Thanks for the great tool :-)

The frontend tries to determine the artist and title if the source is a common browser (src - 'xd' shouldn't be there 🙃). It's to avoid the issue with YouTube in that it sends the whole video title as the title and the channel name as the artist/subtitle, as most music on YouTube has the name of the artist in the title, so you'd get { title: "Artist - My Song (Artist2 remix)", subtitle: "Uploader" }. One thing that is pretty common on YouTube is the format: "Artist - Title" (which your video doesn't use).

Furthermore, once the title and subtitle are parsed, they will be cleaned up if they're too long (e.g. removing "(Remix)" or "[1234]").

Note to self: I should definitely add tests for this.
