YouTube URL opens video in FreeTube app

[chriscjcj]

I'm close but not 100% there. When I click on a youtube.com or youtu.be link, I would like it to open in the FreeTube application. When I use the config below I can get FreeTube to launch when I go to a qualifying URL, but the video won't load.

{
  match: "https://youtu.be/*",
  url: { protocol: "youtube" },
  browser: "FreeTube",
}

Many thanks for any suggestions.

SOrry to bother everyone..... Fixed it.

{
  match: "https://youtu.be/*",
  url: { protocol: "https" },
  browser: "FreeTube",
}

Don't know what I was thinking. 🙄 This seems to work.

I worked with chat GPT to help me build a regular expression to cover all of YouTube's urls.

{
  match: /^https?:\/\/(?:[^\/\n\s]+\.)?(youtube\.com|youtu\.be)/,
  url: { protocol: "https" },
  browser: "FreeTube",
}

This works great for clicking links from outside of a browser. What I can't figure out is how to make FreeTube load the YouTube url if I'm clicking the link from within a browser.
