YOURLS Plugin: Remove YouTube Play Indicator

A few months ago, I set up a self-hosted YOURLS install to handle all of my URL-shortening needs, replacing v.gd. I decided I wanted to be wholly responsible for breaking any links in the future. It’s here, although probably at some point I’ll buy a shorter domain and redirect everything.

Last month, YouTube added a play indicator that modifies the <title> attribute to include U+25B6 BLACK RIGHT-POINTING TRIANGLE. I don’t like this showing up in the title in the YOURLS admin interface. I wrote a quick plugin that strips this out.

Remove YouTube Play Indicator is available on GitHub. Please comment there if you have any issues.
