Regex for YouTube ID [duplicate]

Question

I've looked all over and I've seen many ways to parse the video ID off a URL for youtube, however, none of them have matched all the various formats the YouTube url could be in. I've tried messing with regex presented in the previous posts, but nothing seemed to work.

The closest post I found that covered all the various URL formats was this one: How do I find all YouTube video ids in a string using a regex?

However, this does not work for: http://www.youtube.com/sandalsResorts#p/c/54B8C800269D7C1B/0/FJUvudQsKCM

I'm doing this in Javascript. Can someone help?!

Thanx in advance.

Current URL formats and script I am using:

var url = "http://www.youtube.com/sandalsResorts#p/c/54B8C800269D7C1B/0/FJUvudQsKCM";
//var url = "http://www.youtube.com/user/Scobleizer#p/u/1/1p3vcRhsYGo";
//var url = "http://youtu.be/NLqAF9hrVbY";
//var url = "http://www.youtube.com/embed/NLqAF9hrVbY";
//var url = "https://www.youtube.com/embed/NLqAF9hrVbY";
//var url = "http://www.youtube.com/v/NLqAF9hrVbY?fs=1&hl=en_US";
//var url = "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NLqAF9hrVbY";
//var url = "http://www.youtube.com/user/Scobleizer#p/u/1/1p3vcRhsYGo";
//var url = "http://www.youtube.com/ytscreeningroom?v=NRHVzbJVx8I";
//var url = "http://www.youtube.com/user/Scobleizer#p/u/1/1p3vcRhsYGo";
//var url = "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JYArUl0TzhA&feature=featured";

var videoID = url.match(/(?:youtu\.be\/|youtube\.com(?:\/embed\/|\/v\/|\/watch\?v=|\/user\/\S+|\/ytscreeningroom\?v=))([\w\-]{10,12})\b/)[1];
alert(videoID);

Answer 1

This is a duplicate question, and has been answered before.

I think you will find the regexp there will also work here.

parse youtube video id using preg_match

EDIT: I noticed that it does not work for the sandalsResort URL you have at the top of your list, so you can modify the regex to the following (converted for use in JS)

var myregexp = /(?:youtube\.com\/(?:[^\/]+\/.+\/|(?:v|e(?:mbed)?)\/|.*[?&]v=)|youtu\.be\/)([^"&?\/\s]{11})/gi;

All I did was to replace user with [^/]+

The ID is still captured in back-reference 1.

Answer 2

I use this regexp: /youtu(?:.*\/v\/|.*v\=|\.be\/)([A-Za-z0-9_\-]{11})/ and it works fine for me.
