Would be nice to be able to pass something like https://youtu.be/cJ6PpX6xg-E?t=598 and have playback show the youtube media player inside it, or whatever is needed to play it.

Benefit for me would be able to watch a youtube video in a smaller resizeable video player, rather than in a web browser of which I am probably doing other things.

@balupton You should be able to paste the non-shortened youtube url into playback. Try that? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cJ6PpX6xg-E
