If I paste in this link:

`https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nxc4AKz_lhQ&list=PLh1XHNREyQEPd-B4Dnlhg1ly7CHbbdW0f`

It will be rendered thusly:

In other words, the link has been cut down to this:

`https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nxc4AKz_lhQ`

The playlist suffix is no longer present. Either these types of links should not be oneboxed, or they should be appropriately oneboxed as a playlist, as demonstrated by WordPress:

Yes this was on my list and I looked into it few days back, but there was no practical way to do it using [lazyYT](https://github.com/tylerpearson/lazyYT).

So what I did now is switch to traditional `iframe` embed when user tries to embed playlist. It will now be rendered as playlist:

Let’s see if this playlist gets oneboxed as expected 🐈
