   I've noticed when I want to put a You-Tube video in my blog I have to change the beginning of the link code from http://youtu.be/ to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=

   I am copying the link from the bottom of the video in You-Tube. Should I be looking elsewhere for the link?

   Thanks,
   Michael O'Reilly

   I noticed the same need to modify URL's with You tube.
   And I have writers who don't understand well how to change the provided link so an update would be appreciated :)

   I've added a few lines of code to take care of youtu.be urls. Just add the code below in vipers-vide-quicktags.php on line #2871

   // Short/Share url ( http://youtu.be/videoid[?whatever=xx] )
   elseif ( FALSE !== stristr( $content, 'youtu.be' ) ) {
   	$parsed_url=parse_url($content);
   	$videoid=basename($parsed_url['path']);
   	$embedpath = 'v/' . $videoid;
   	$fallbacklink = 'http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=' . $videoid;
   	$fallbackcontent = '<img src="http://img.youtube.com/vi/' . $videoid . '/0.jpg" alt="' . __('YouTube Preview Image', 'vipers-video-quicktags') . '" />';
   }

   It also ignores query string parameters like t=xx added by youtube when a user selects a start time in the video.

   Hope the plugin author could add those patch to the source code.
