oEmbed for YouTube playlist giving unexpected result

Prismic for Content Creators
1

When providing a YouTube playlist (single videos are fine) URL to an oEmbed field, the resulting JSON isn't what's expected. It seems to be for embedding a generic website vs YouTube content.

Playlist oEmbed URL: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLeLqSlokcbKPu9xj7dKPd8JfBZWxImb2V

Prismic JSON:

{
  "version": "1.0",
  "url": "http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLeLqSlokcbKPu9xj7dKPd8JfBZWxImb2V",
  "type": "link",
  "title": "SPACE CATS",
  "provider_name": "website",
  "thumbnail_url": "https://i.ytimg.com/vi/J7UwSVsiwzI/hqdefault.jpg?sqp=-oaymwEWCKgBEF5IWvKriqkDCQgBFQAAiEIYAQ==&rs=AOn4CLCVoNGWnSyhHplVUapRYt09TAU-UQ&days_since_epoch=18862",
  "html": "<div data-type=\"website\"><a href=\"http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLeLqSlokcbKPu9xj7dKPd8JfBZWxImb2V\"><h1>SPACE CATS</h1><img src=\"https://i.ytimg.com/vi/J7UwSVsiwzI/hqdefault.jpg?sqp=-oaymwEWCKgBEF5IWvKriqkDCQgBFQAAiEIYAQ==&rs=AOn4CLCVoNGWnSyhHplVUapRYt09TAU-UQ&days_since_epoch=18862\"></a></div>",
  "embed_url": "https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLeLqSlokcbKPu9xj7dKPd8JfBZWxImb2V"
}

Expected result (from YouTube provider: https://www.youtube.com/oembed?url=https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLeLqSlokcbKPu9xj7dKPd8JfBZWxImb2V):

{
   "title":"SPACE  CATS",
   "author_name":"Vivian Vigil",
   "author_url":"/channel/UChuuNwTkvNOXzAh_kT8N2fw",
   "type":"video",
   "height":113,
   "width":200,
   "version":"1.0",
   "provider_name":"YouTube",
   "provider_url":"https://www.youtube.com/",
   "thumbnail_height":360,
   "thumbnail_width":480,
   "thumbnail_url":"https://i.ytimg.com/vi/J7UwSVsiwzI/hqdefault.jpg",
   "html":"\u003ciframe width=\u0022200\u0022 height=\u0022113\u0022 src=\u0022https://www.youtube.com/embed/videoseries?list=PLeLqSlokcbKPu9xj7dKPd8JfBZWxImb2V\u0022 frameborder=\u00220\u0022 allow=\u0022accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\u0022 allowfullscreen\u003e\u003c/iframe\u003e"
}

Maybe Prismic isn't using the correct provider for *.youtube.com/playlist?list=*?

Hi @jeremy2,
Thanks for reaching out, I have been able to reproduce the issue, and yes, Prismic is not recognizing this as a playlist and instead as a generic website.

For that, I have created an enhancement issue in our issue tracker, and we will let you know in case of any updates,
