For some reason, youtube blocks access to the site via the 11th one. It brings up the "our systems have detected unusual traffic from your computer network" message but with no captcha

Here is a java version of regex that matches all the urls the list:

(?i)^(?:https?://)?(?:(?:www|m)\.)?youtu(?:\.be|be(?:-nocookie)?\.com)/(?:(?:oembed|attribution_link)\?.+?(?:/|%2F)(?=watch))?(?:(?:watch)?(?:\?|%3F)|(?:vi?|live|e(?:mbed)?)/)?(?:(?:[\w\-]+(?:=|%3D)[^=&#]+(?:&(?:amp;)?|%26))*?vi?(?:=|%3D))?(?<id>[\w\-]+)(?:(?:(?:\?|%3F)|(?:&(?:amp;)?|%26)|(?:#|%23))[\w\-]+(?:=|%3D)[^=&#]+)*$

String QM = "(?:\\?|%3F)";
String EQ = "(?:=|%3D)";
String AS = "(?:&(?:amp;)?|%26)";
String OT = "(?:#|%23)";
String FS = "(?:/|%2F)";

String PARAM_HEAD = "(?:" + QM + "|" + AS + "|" + OT + ")";
String PARAM_KEY = "[\\w\\-]+";
String PARAM_VAL = "[^=&#]+";
String PARAM = "(?:" + PARAM_KEY + EQ + PARAM_VAL + ")";

Pattern p = Pattern.compile("(?i)^" +
        "(?:https?://)?" +
        "(?:(?:www|m)\\.)?" +
        "youtu(?:\\.be|be(?:-nocookie)?\\.com)/" +
        "(?:(?:oembed|attribution_link)\\?.+?" + FS + "(?=watch))?" +
        "(?:(?:watch)?" + QM + "|" + "(?:vi?|live|e(?:mbed)?)/)?" +
        "(?:(?:" + PARAM + AS + ")*?" + "(?:vi?" + EQ + "))?" +
        "(?<id>" + PARAM_KEY + ")" +
        "(?:" + PARAM_HEAD + PARAM + ")*" +
        "$");

IOUtils.readLines(new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(
                new URL("https://gist.githubusercontent.com/rodrigoborgesdeoliveira/987683cfbfcc8d800192da1e73adc486/raw/b15ee49a60d42df67b0d6383517ef3b57e25c9c3/ActiveYouTubeURLFormats.txt")

        .map(p::matcher).filter(Matcher::matches)
        .forEachOrdered(m -> System.out.printf("%-15s %s%n", m.group("id"), m.group()));

@ZGorlock: doesn't match music.youtube.com/watch?v=U9t-slLl30E, youtube.com/watch/U9t-slLl30E, youtube.com/shorts/sMbxjePPmkw and attribution_links (youtube.com/attribution_link?a=JdfC0C9V6ZI&u=%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DEhxJLojIE_o%26feature%3Dshare and youtube.com/attribution_link?a=8g8kPrPIi-ecwIsS&u=/watch%3Fv%3DyZv2daTWRZU%26feature%3Dem-uploademail). 🤔

@rodrigoborgesdeoliveira Please add links youtube.com/watch/U9t-slLl30E, youtube.com/shorts/U9t-slLl30E and youtube.com/live/U9t-slLl30E. Here's my RegExp that catches a wide spectrum of YT URLs → https://gist.github.com/Kaligula0/1ff5f4e2cf1f351daeca3450f71fdcb5

Thanks, @Kaligula0!
