Hello, I'm not sure where any kind of URL is coming into play. To create a YouTubeVideo criterion, you provide an ID for the video. If you fetch a YouTubeVideo criterion via the API, you can retrieve the ID and the video title, but no URL. Where exactly are you seeing these URLs in conjunction with YouTubeVideo criteria?
