Your first link is an embed, thats not right. The second looks fine, it should work. Paste it and i can see whats wrong. Third link is in another format, so thats maybe why it doesnt work. Below is the link which worked for me:

Okay, I figured it out. On my end you have to convert an "embed" code into a "watch" code by manually typing into the url. On that updated instance on mobile they use peertube's built-in link shortener which generates "w" links instead.

After a lot of experimentation I found both "watch" and "w" links work, but there's an awkward/newbie unfriendly procedure to it:

Paste "embed" link and convert OR paste "w" link
Search returns no results
Refresh the page or Search a random word to reset the search box
If using the random word method, put the video url you just deleted back in and search a second time
Discover that a Lemmy post generated because of your first search, but wasn't displaying until you reload the page.

Additionally, one or two random videos display lemmy posts immediately but not all. Not sure why that is...
