Bug in video embed.

[FleshJeb]

I was trying to link a video from youtube, and when I embed it and hit submit, the editor throws this error:

I tried just the text of the video id in the test thread, and it works fine.

URL of video in question with a space added, and the link removed.

https://www.youtube.com/ watch?v=6R8hdRiEWkY

Another random video from the same channel, just to see if it works:

 

Huh, that worked. I'll try the original video again:

same error

...yep, it's that specific URL.

 

Trying the short URL also throws an error, unless I remove the embed.

I'm guessing the emoji parser might be having a problem with the ":/" emoji and one or some of the other characters in the URL.

I noticed the ":1437623226_rocket_1f680(3):" emoji has some parentheses in it. I'm shocked the parser can deal with those. I've used a bunch of software that fails in creative ways when dealing with special characters. Given that it's the last emoji added, perhaps the parser is seeing the emoji list as unterminated.

If that line of inquiry is plausible, I'd test it by adding another emoji to the list and seeing if the forum software can actually find it.
