    Basic YouTube URLs

    in Share your Workflows

    Posted

    I would suggest however, that instead of having the user post the URL into Alfred, you’d just get it from the clipboard via pbpaste (you’re already using pbcopy anyway, so why not).

     

    Thanks, great idea! I updated the workflow.

    There are many different YouTube URL formats and they often include information about playlists, referrers, etc. A few examples:

    http://m.youtube.com/#/watch?v=T6DJcgm3wNY&feature=player_embedded&desktop_uri=%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DT6DJcgm3wNY%26feature%3Dplayer_embedded

     

    However, when I want to share a YouTube URL with someone I only want the basic URL that points directly to the video. In this case:

     

     

    Here's a workflow that takes any* YouTube URL and copies the basic URL to the clipboard.

    * It might not cover every possible URL format, but so far I haven’t come across one that doesn’t work.

     

    Open multiple VLC windows

    Doesn't work for me. 2008 MBP, all the latest software.

     

    The command run by the workflow is:

     

    open -n /Applications/VLC.app/

     

    If that also doesn't work when you run that from the Terminal, VLC might be located elsewhere, or it has something to do with the VLC app itself.
