Add support for printing the basic youtube URL

[HalosGhost]

Using the --get-url (or -g) option returns an incredibly long URL that adds significantly more data than is necessary. It would be nice to have an option that prints the standard "youtube.com/watch?v=$id". Any interest in adding this (I cannot imagine it would be too hard to add since it would essentially just be prepending the basic address to the standard output of --get-id)?

--get-url returns the final downloadable URL for particular format exactly as returned by video hoster. What is the rationale for returning back the same URL you just passed in?

Ahh, I wasn't clear about that was I. I meant specifically for the ytsearch extractor. In this case, I do not know the basic URL,

You can use jq for that:

$ youtube-dl ytsearch2:python -j | jq .webpage_url
"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tKTZoB2Vjuk"
"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ohr6O78jGzs"
