[Question] Recognize URLs with si query parameter in search #4710

Closed shaedrich closed 4 months ago

shaedrich commented 4 months ago

Describe the bug

When YouTube links have an si URL parameter appended, Invidious search can't find the video. I'm not familiar with Invidious' algorithm to extract the video ID, but I would assume, this is only a minor adjustment to be made.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Go to the start page of an instance of your choice
  2. Paste 'https://youtube.com/shorts/LlkXltZaD_w?si=zgUmpZh0aXnI4aUh' into the search field
  3. Press enter
  4. See "No results found."

The search function is passed along to youtube servers.

If this search is not supported by the youtube servers itself, it won't work on invidious too.

Based on my testing, searching with the parameter "si" on www.youtube.com doesn't work either.
