Does anyone here recall URL schemata of when Youtube was embedded via Flash?

I'm facing URLs like http://www.youtube.com/p/F4B63F92D2DC4E98
with a "p" in there, which was maybe referring to a playlist?

Neither Chrome nor Firefox rewrite this to a contemporary HTML5 embed, as they would for other Youtube Flash embeds.

Any idea what this was?

@despens It looks like v was individual videos, p as playlists, and cp was custom players for embedding your whole channel

That p ID can still be used to bring up the playlist (https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLF4B63F92D2DC4E98), but the custom player codes don't seem connected to anything anymore

@despens I'm glad I had an old WordPress post where I tried to embed things!
