Describe the bug

I had a hard time simplifying the problem, but I spare you with the ugly details (for now).

I encountered embedded youtube playlist links like this:

All of them open fine in my (private) browser (with disabled plugins), but in FreeTube they lead to the YouTube user "embed". (It took a while to figure out, that that is not a YouTube channel but a user. Unfortunately I can not share the link from FreeTube, which is not the same problem as #2479).

Converting the link to something like this works in FreeTube: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLjEaoINr3zgFX8ZsChQVQsuDSjEqdWMAD

Expected Behavior

The YouTube playlist should be opened.
