Unhandled Link Error to Remote Media You Tube videos

Created on 1 December 2023, 7 months ago

Problem/Motivation

When running the LinkChecker module, the database log is filled with Unhandled Link Errors for You Tube videos despite the fact that the links are working. See attached screenshot.

Steps to reproduce

I have created a Media type of Remote Video using the Media Remote module and selected You Tube videos as the source.
I've entered: https://youtu.be/O4wXwk9Jjr8 for the Video field. and it shows up in the database log even though the link works. Perhaps this is a Media Remote issue, but the log shows Link Checker as the module reporting the issue.

I beleive youtube returns 303 response codes for short urls like the one you give, but you can configure linkchecker to ignore 303 response codes.

Seems to me as well that that link is giving 303, so in that sense this seems to be working like intended?

Please feel free to reopen if I completely misunderstood ✌️🤓
