webghost0101@sopuli.xyz 1 day agoThe last part of the url is still the same Video id from youtube. You can copy that in whichever you use.
The internet actually really needs an overhaul to how links are presented. So you can press a video link and opening in the compatible player you prefer.
Same issue exists on lemmy. A link will send you to the instance of the poster, we have special ! Links to bridge the gap but i can never remember how to use em.

Technically, the internet already has what you’re looking for. It’s just not really standardized for video media.
The beginning of the URL or the schema is already able to on most mainstream OS be controlled by a specific application.
There’s nothing really stopping anyone from making it so there’s a video:// schema, and then configuring a schema handler to handle it. on Debian it would be a single desktop file with a MimeType=x-scheme-handler/video line indicating that type of url should be opened with that desktop file. I had to configure it for vortex to get it to open mod links, I never knew how easy that was
