Youtu.be domain+url rewriter

Open unquote7083 opened this issue 3 years ago • 3 comments

https://youtu.be/video-id should be transformed into https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=video-id. These youtu.be links comes from the share function.

Thanks for the app!

Thanks for your feedback. Usually Leon tries to remove obsolete parameters and reduce the size of URLs. There is one exception to this rule which is the Amazon Smile rewriter. But in this particular case the benefit of rewriting the URL is to collect donations for charities.

Why do you want to convert a shorter youtu.be link to a longer youtube.com one?

The short url is specific to the share function and helps google track such. It redirects to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=video-id&feature=youtu.be and thus should be sanitized before it can get to that point

Okay, good point. I will consider this.
