Script version 5.5

Describe the bug Opening a youtube short results in the audio being played but the screen being black, so the video is running but its like just black you cant see it, when I disable the script the video shows. Please fix, thanks devs!

                // Extract the part of the URL after the base URL
                const videoIDStart = startIndex + baseShortsURL.length;
                videoID = currentUrl.substring(videoIDStart);

                const slashIndex = videoID.indexOf('/');
                if (slashIndex !== -1) {
                    videoID = videoID.substring(0, slashIndex);
                }
            } else {
                log("YouTube video URL not found.", "e")
                return null;
            }
        }

Im working on it , its because the url isnt properly parsed for shorts, but for some reason im getting double audio
