Fix search bar handling of Invidious channel URLs

Pull Request Type

  • Bugfix

Description

To figure out what the channel ID for a given username, we need to pass the channel URL to YouTube's resolve endpoint. Currently we pass the original/user provided URL, which works fine if it is a YouTube one, but Invidious and Piped URLs are understandably not recognised by YouTube, so result in FreeTube incorrectly saying that the channel doesn't exist.

This pull request ensures that the URL that FreeTube always passes a youtube.com URL to YouTube, so that the URL resolution works correctly.

Testing

Paste https://redirect.invidious.io/@YouTube into the search bar and press enter.
