They are all valid, but most front ends are broken by Google.

I use often Andisearch where i search the video and where I can watch it in the search result, sandboxed and through random proxy, also using the SMplayer on desktop, entering the video URL- Avoiding also that YT put any crap in my PC with the Portmaster
