Does anyone know what the new
Metadata actually represents or does?
I noticed it being added now, after I updated(?) my Revanced build.
But I know it's not necessary for the link to work.
It stands for Share ID and it’s a method of tracking who is sharing videos. Always strip those tracking segments from URLs when you share things
Yeah, I figured it was tracking.
Probably tracking, Spotify urls have included this for a while now.
The value seems to be different every time you share something so it must include a timestamp.
I always remove this part of urls before sharing them because they could potentially help identify you on any other website where you paste it.
