From 5f8822854d0427d132674615f13becf420c57bd2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sandro Date: Wed, 3 May 2023 18:54:42 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] Use oEmbed for YouTube Shorts (#15025) It seems that YouTube Short previews do not work in some regions, but the oEmbed information for those areas is still valid. This causes YouTube Shorts to always use (only) the oEmbed endpoint which is a minor regression for regions where the URL preview was already working -- some of the additional video metadata is lost. It is not likely that clients are using this today and it is more beneficial to have a limited preview working everywhere than unused metadata in the Open Graph response. --- changelog.d/15025.misc | 1 + synapse/res/providers.json | 13 +++++++++++++ 2 files changed, 14 insertions(+) create mode 100644 changelog.d/15025.misc diff --git a/changelog.d/15025.misc b/changelog.d/15025.misc new file mode 100644 index 000000000..1f04d8572 --- /dev/null +++ b/changelog.d/15025.misc @@ -0,0 +1 @@ +Use oEmbed to generate URL previews for YouTube Shorts. diff --git a/synapse/res/providers.json b/synapse/res/providers.json index 7b9958e45..2dc9fec8e 100644 --- a/synapse/res/providers.json +++ b/synapse/res/providers.json @@ -11,5 +11,18 @@ "url": "https://publish.twitter.com/oembed" } ] + }, + { + "provider_name": "YouTube Shorts", + "provider_url": "http://www.youtube.com/", + "endpoints": [ + { + "schemes": [ + "https://youtube.com/shorts/*", + "https://*.youtube.com/shorts/*" + ], + "url": "https://www.youtube.com/oembed" + } + ] } ]
