youtube playlist embedding bug

BahamutZEROBahamutZERO Registered User regular
I had thought playlist embedding had stopped working after the issue was resolved where all embedding was broken for a while, but actually the playlist embedding does still work if the link is formatted a certain way.

Youtube normally spits out playlist URLs like this for me: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Tdu4uKSZ3M&list=RD-Tdu4uKSZ3M
which do not embed as playlists currently:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Tdu4uKSZ3M&list=RD-Tdu4uKSZ3M


But this link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ot22bUUEOJ8?list=PLFw9ryLdiLzYrrQdnksr0cOiYpLzKfT5B is embedded as


I think it's because of the "&" between the video ID and the playlist ID being changed to a "?".

If you change that character in the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ot22bUUEOJ8&list=PLFw9ryLdiLzYrrQdnksr0cOiYpLzKfT5B is embedded as
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ot22bUUEOJ8&list=PLFw9ryLdiLzYrrQdnksr0cOiYpLzKfT5B
Suddenly no playlist container.

Basically the embedding code needs to see youtube links that are formatted with an "&" separating a video ID and a playlist ID as playlist links like it sees links that separate those elements with a "?"

    It's true it's not a particularly useful embedded feature, I just mentioned it because it was a feature before and I noticed it acting strange. Also sometimes people like to use the playlist embedding to make video titles show on the container before you click on it to load the video, but that's less of a reason playlist functionality is useful and more a feature request for regular youtube embeds I guess.

    The empty playlist thing I used was just appending "&list=_" to the URL. So now "?list=_" works.
