Description
Right now using the input box on the main-page is not very nice, since users have to know how to extract the right id to put into the box themselves. At least for popular services (twitch, youtube,...) it would be nice to have this automated, such that pasting
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6n3pFFPSlW4 becomes 6n3pFFPSlW4.
Could make the logic dependent on the url-parameter, but things like youtu.be could make it annoying to parse...
The same goes for automatically detecting with service to use (make the default value in the box "auto" or something).

Research direction
Start at the main-page input box and trace the existing service-id handling and service selection logic. Done means pasted URLs such as the YouTube example yield the ID and supported services can be detected automatically; the issue names no files or tests, so confirm the supported URL forms before changing behavior.
