Reformatting Changes to Redirector Documentation (#367)
* Minor change to URL Parameter Documentation URL. * Reformated Redirection Rules in plaintext to avoid unintentional tranlation errors into Markdown. * I think I did the formatting right. Also... I added an additional rule for redirecting Invidious URLs that aren't video players, so that it's easier to enforce sitewide preferences like theme and language.

||||

|
||||
|
||||
|

Redirects Youtube to Invidous

||||
Redirect: https://*.youtube.com/*
|
||||

Applies to: Main window (address bar)

# How to use it for Invidious URL Parameters?
|
||||
|
||||
If you would like to use URL Parameters in your redirects (see https://github.com/cloudrac3r/invidious-documentation/blob/master/List-of-URL-parameters.md), you will need to manually add them to Rule 1, (https://[Invidious Domain Here]/watch?v=$1[URL Parameters here] in place of https://[Invidious Domain Here]/watch?v=$1.
|
||||
If you would like to use URL Parameters in your redirects (see [here](https://github.com/cloudrac3r/invidious-documentation/blob/master/List-of-URL-parameters.md)), you will need to manually add them to the preceding rules (https://[Invidious Domain Here]/watch?v=$1[URL Parameters here] in place of https://[Invidious Domain Here]/watch?v=$1).
|
||||
|
||||
For clarity, an example of a URL parameter would be &related_videos=false&comments=false to ensure that neither related videos nor comments are displayed on a video page, so https://[Invidious Domain Here]/watch?v=$1&related_videos=false&comments=false would be the destination of redirects.
|
||||
For clarity, an example of a URL parameter would be &related_videos=false&comments=false to ensure that neither related videos nor comments are displayed on a video page, so ```https://[Invidious Domain Here]/watch?v=$1&related_videos=false&comments=false``` would be the destination of redirects.
|
||||
|
||||
Should you choose to use URL Parameters, I would reccomend adding the following rule to both ensure all invidious videos load with your preference, and to ensure that unnecesary parameters are not added when already applied.
|
||||
For redirects with ? in the URL, the Parameter string will start with &, while redirects without ? in the URL should have a Parameter string begining with ?, so https://[Invidious Domain Here]/$2 becomes ```https://[Invidious Domain Here]/$2?related_videos=false&comments=false```
|
||||
|

Should you choose to use URL Parameters, I would reccomend adding the following rules to both ensure all invidious videos load with your preference, and to ensure that unnecesary parameters are not added when already applied.

||||
|
||||
# Rule 5 (Redirects Invidious Video URLs with parameters)
|
||||
|
||||
Redirects Invidious Videos with URL Parameters
|
||||
Redirect: https://[Invidious Domain Here]/watch?v=*
|
||||
to: https://[Invidious Domain Here]/watch?v=$1[URL Parameters here]
|
||||
excluding: https://[Invidious Domain Here]/watch?v=*[URL Parameters here]
|
||||
Hint: Update this to correlate with the YouTube Video Redirect
|
||||
Example: https://[Invidious Domain Here]/watch?v=Lz13cxZNTCo → https://[Invidious Domain Here]/watch?v=Lz13cxZNTCo[URL Parameters here]
|
||||
Redirect: ```https://[Invidious Domain Here]/watch?v=*```
|
||||
to: ```https://[Invidious Domain Here]/watch?v=$1[URL Parameters here]```
|
||||
excluding: ```https://[Invidious Domain Here]/watch?v=*[URL Parameters here]```
|
||||
Example: ```https://[Invidious Domain Here]/watch?v=Lz13cxZNTCo``` → https://[Invidious Domain Here]/watch?v=Lz13cxZNTCo[URL Parameters here]
|
||||
Applies to: Main window (address bar)
|
||||
|
||||
It is important that you add the exception so as not to create infinite repeats of the same URL Parameters when opening multiple Invidious Videos in a single session. When creating or editing rules in Redirector you must access "Advanced Options" in order to set exceptions.
|
||||
# Rule 6 (Redirects Invidious Domain URLs with parameters)
|
||||
|
||||
Redirect: ```https://[Invidious Domain Here]/*```
|
||||
to: ```https://[Invidious Domain Here]/$1[URL Parameters here]```
|
||||
excluding: ```https://[Invidious Domain Here]/*[URL Parameters here]```
|
||||
Example: ```https://[Invidious Domain Here]/``` → https://[Invidious Domain Here]/[URL Parameters here]
|
||||
Applies to: Main window (address bar)
