Lightbox Video link YouTube URL handling

Just noticed that the Lightbox Video link type only works with YouTube URL format https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=id, but not https://youtu.be/id.

I’m guessing this might be the case with every Bricks input that accepts YouTube URLs.

Would be nice to have both URL formats supported.

Hey @aljazbz,

I don’t think that Bricks can do anything (reasonable) here as the .be domain is meant for sharing, not for embedding. It redirects to the „real“ video and sends some headers to prevent embedding (see html - Why doesn't my Youtu.be URL work for video embedding? - Stack Overflow).

Best,

André

I’m aware of that myself, but most people aren’t. A customer of mine had entered a youtu.be URL and wondered why it wasn’t working. Bricks could definitely convert the URL, but as I said, this is just a “nice to have” feature.
