armdevices.net embeds youtube’s HTML5 video player, whereas clicking on the
share link takes you to youtube’s flash player, which won’t work (that’s
expected). Interestingly, if I remove the "#action=share" token from the
URL, I’m being redirected to the mobile version of youtube. I wonder why
it’s not happening when this token is present.

Note that with the mobile version of youtube, videos won’t play at the
moment, this is a known issue that is being worked on (it requires
fullscreen support, which has just landed in oxide trunk, so expect
progress on this front in the near future).

Cheers,
