When the sharing app supplies a title, that is used. If not, we fetch it. Seems like in your case YouTube sets the title to "YouTube". So, nothing we can do. Sorry.

I mean, are customized solutions to getting the page title for certain enormously popular websites absolutely off the table? I find this issue with specifically Youtube really annoying too, and I'd love to have it solved somehow.

Mmmh, I guess we can introduce an exception for Youtube

Wow, that would be awesome! I'm sure there's some quite primitive API that can provide the video title, given its ID.

We can just make it use the fallback title fetcher which is used when no title is passed

I don't follow. Isn't the issue here exactly that the "fallback title fetcher", which is invoked when no title is passed along the shared URI, only returns "YouTube" for YT links, because (I'm assuming) that's what the initial HTML response contains for the URI?

My assessment here was that the YouTube app sends a title, but only sets it to "YouTube", so since the title is set, floccus assumes it's good and the fallback doesn't kick in.

Just tested: The title tag in youtube's initial response contains the full video title as expected

Weird. When I share from my YT app into a text note, then the full video title is there, too. Where and how might this be diverted to the fixed "YouTube" string?

I have the same issue. I don't think, this is a general problem of the suplying app, because it works with the "original" bookmarks app for Nextcloud.
For example, when I visit a youtube page in my Android browser an click on "share" and choose the nextcloud bookmarks app, this app have the whole title of the youtube video and not only "Youtube".

I also tried this with sharing a link from NewPipe. Nextcloud bookmark app get the whole title, floccus only "Youtube".

I found the issue. The user agent was to blame for the wrong title. With a neutral UA the title is obtained correctly 🎉
