Föderation EN Di 02.07.2024 20:54:37 Weirdest @IceCubesApp bug: sometimes when I click a YouTube link, it takes me to a random YouTube page for “undefined”. I assume something was undefined?! (Second click always works.) — Nerd Zone — So it ends up taking me to the page for http://www.youtube.com/@彁 — with 彁 being an infamous “ghost character” in Unicode, a nonexistent accidental character. See: https://www.dampfkraft.com/ghost-characters.html What would make it land on this particular page? One of you will crack this I bet… Medien: 1 |
Föderation EN Di 02.07.2024 20:57:33 @cabel so weird. I’ll look into it. |
Föderation EN Di 02.07.2024 21:03:42 @IceCubesApp Let me know if I can help. And thanks for such a fantastic app!! |
Föderation EN Di 02.07.2024 21:05:00 @cabel if you have a link to a post from which you can reproduce it, it would be great. Thanks! |
Föderation EN Fr 09.08.2024 00:47:45 @IceCubesApp @cabel was this ever figured out? Personally I have zero issues with any youtube link toot on my instance even from remotes, across all clients I've tried (masto web, ivory, mona). But some other folks I know on other instances are seeing same issue as above here and they're using other clients too. Is it an instance/host issue? Masto/protocol issue? Indeed somehow a client thing? Youtube messing their API up? |
Föderation EN Sa 20.07.2024 17:36:53 @IceCubesApp Reproduced at last!! If I tap the YouTube link in the text/post, I get the right video. If I tap on the attached card, I land on /undefined. |
Föderation EN Mo 22.07.2024 06:56:48 @cabel I tapped on this thinking it was just an image and got extremely confused when my phone suddenly started doing things on its own |
Föderation EN Mo 22.07.2024 07:00:59 @twipped Hahah sorry!! The dangers of a full-screen recording! 😛 |
Föderation EN Di 02.07.2024 21:06:41 @cabel @IceCubesApp I know that the Mona app can sometimes get confused with links formatted as “example.com/@username” when the link isn’t a Mastodon profile, but this sounds like something else |
Föderation EN Di 02.07.2024 21:09:37 @cabel @IceCubesApp This screams JavaScript to me. |

Föderation EN Di 02.07.2024 21:44:46 @cabel @IceCubesApp I don’t know how the URL gets constructed, but if I open up https://www.youtube.com/undefined in Safari I get a completely blank page. If I then tap the Open button to open it in the YouTube app I get to the “ghost character” page. Seems that “undefined” is the legacy username for that page, but it is only supported still in the app? |
Föderation EN Di 02.07.2024 21:56:53 @eelco @cabel @IceCubesApp This feels like a good lead! Corroborated by the fact that the new URL format with `/c/` leads there as well: https://www.youtube.com/c/undefined |
Föderation EN Di 02.07.2024 23:59:20 Why not just use @ivory? |
Föderation EN Mi 03.07.2024 00:15:33 @fishcharlie I mean, I really like the app! It’s super nice. This is the only bug I’ve really encountered! So it’d be a shame to switch entirely just because of one bug. |
