...and probably a lot more I couldn't think of right now.

The only issue with this is that I can't recognize every invidious/piped instance since they don't have a global url schema. I could just have a giant list of all the piped and invidious instances, or possibly add a button to tell photon to recognize that as an invidious instance.

Yeah, I thought this might be the case for decentralized services.

If we can't somehow recognize the service, I guess it'll just be about managing known instances.

Edit: So is there any reasonable way to pull the info from html head since the link will be checked anyway for preview.

Not making a commit that touches YT regex again while the previous PR is up, but just adding the word live makes youtube streams work.

I'm adding Odysee to the list as I think it's the largest Youtube alternative out there.
