</div>

**To reproduce:**

1. Paste YouTube link with title containing single quote in new topic title field  
**Example link:** `https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L6EbORDmpNY`  
**YouTube Title:** Colin Wolfe & ‘The Chronic’

2. Fetched title cuts off at the first appearance of single quote.  
**Discourse Title:** Colin Wolfe &

In the source of that YouTube page, the title that Discourse is retrieving looks like this:

```js
document.title = "Colin Wolfe \u0026 'The Chronic' - YouTube";

```

I’m guessing that the quote throws it off somewhere in here:

I can’t repro this locally or on [try](https://try.discourse.org/t/what-is-a-onebox/276/12?u=rudy). But as a precautionary measure we will now sanitize YouTube video title as per:

[https://github.com/discourse/onebox/commit/e6a958bc78eb46c05f850f85adb1e9a9be4a9b0e](https://github.com/discourse/onebox/commit/e6a958bc78eb46c05f850f85adb1e9a9be4a9b0e)

Are you pasting it in the Topic title field? I just tried it here and was able to reproduce.
