That should link to a YouTube video. I have it pulled up in YouTube and clicked the share button then tapped the copy link line.

But when I post it via an iPhone in voyager the link doesn’t work. How do I make the link actually work?

Edit on note it works. I wonder if it’s sub specific for it to work?

Edit 2: problem solved. Replace the word short with the word watch in the link for the short video

    You can try with the non-short version, just replace youtube.com/shorts with youtube.com/watch?v=:
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-mFznrJRNBw

    I use this Request Control rule to redirect shorts to the generic player:

    [
  {
    "uuid": "ef5425ff-3427-45aa-a6bd-2b48fc25690e",
    "pattern": {
      "scheme": "*",
      "host": [ "www.youtube.com" ],
      "path": [ "/shorts/*" ]
    },
    "types": [ "main_frame" ],
    "action": "redirect",
    "active": true,
    "title": "%7Bc%7D%20YouTube%20-%20Redirect%20short%20to%20normal",
    "redirectUrl": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v={pathname:8}"
  }

    For what it’s worth, that link works for me. Firefox on Android.

    Presumably Voyager is mangling the link when you go to view it. My first guess is the ? or = are getting escaped, but that’s just a guess. Do you know the exact link it’s trying to follow?

    This should probably be asked in the Voyager sub.
