"-ob9LHPEaKY" worked (11 chars), but "D-_qS_3KXBA" (11 chars) didn't, though "-_qS_3KXBA" (10 chars) does. > There are articles on the web that talk about the "key" - IIRC, each > youtube video gets a unique 64-bit integer and the "key" is that > integer base64 encoded, BUT, with some characters substituted to make > it work within a URL. I read one about it being Base64. But if you do decode it, whatever scheme they use, all you get is a longer serial number type of string. So I still reckon it's still just a code created on the spot that's probably just a serial number (simply incrementing in some way with every upload by everyone in the world), or a timestamp related value. Either way, it doesn't tell you anything useful. -- uname -rsvp Linux 3.10.0-1160.119.1.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Jun 4 14:43:51 UTC 2024 x86_64 Boilerplate: All unexpected mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
