Youtube shorts are not supported

Example URL: https://youtube.com/shorts/X-eGfVovXNU?feature=share The response is no "matching provider found" Currently I'm parsing the ID and using a traditional Youtube url, but the aspect ratio is weird this way. Thanks!

I had this problem in the past when uploading short videos that shouldn't be YouTube Short but, because they had less than one minute, YouTube inadvertently converted them to one. After digging some information, I realized that, despite this YouTube behaviour, a YouTube Short is indeed a real video, and you can access it normally with the ?watch=XXX URL, thus accessible with NoEmbed.

Sure, it would be nice to have this re-routing done by NoEmbed, but you can also do it yourself in your application.

Hope it helps :)
