Update summarize-youtube-video-with-ai extension

[mateusbadalotti]

Description

Fixes #23718

• Fix YouTube transcript parsing for srv3 format by extracting text from <s> segments instead of <p> tags
• Remove deprecated Summarize YouTube Video command

YouTube’s timedtext API returns captions in srv3 XML format, where text is nested inside <s> (segment) tags within <p> (paragraph) tags:

<p t="280" d="3840" w="1">
  <s ac="0">Hello</s>
  <s t="280" ac="0"> world</s>
</p>

The previous regex only matched direct content in

tags, resulting in empty transcripts. This fix:

• Extracts text from <s> tags (primary)
• Falls back to <text> tags for older formats
• Joins segments without extra spaces (segments already include spacing)

Also removed the deprecated unified command since provider-specific commands are now the recommended approach.

Screencast

Extensions works properly again:

Greptile Overview

Greptile Summary

This PR fixes a critical bug where YouTube transcripts were returning empty due to incorrect XML parsing for YouTube's srv3 format. The previous regex only matched direct content in <p> tags, but YouTube's API returns text nested inside <s> (segment) tags. The fix extracts text from <s> tags with a fallback to <text> tags for older formats, and joins segments without extra spaces since segments already include proper spacing.

The PR also removes the deprecated unified "Summarize YouTube Video" command and its associated view component, completing the migration to provider-specific commands that was introduced earlier.

• Fixed transcript parsing to handle YouTube's srv3 XML format by extracting from <s> segments
• Changed segment joining from join(" ") to join("") to avoid duplicate spacing
• Removed 114 lines of deprecated command configuration from package.json
• Deleted deprecated summarizeVideo.tsx component
• Updated CHANGELOG with proper {PR_MERGE_DATE} placeholder format

Confidence Score: 5/5

• This PR is safe to merge with no concerns
• The changes are well-tested (confirmed working in screencast), address a critical bug with a proper fix, and cleanly remove deprecated code without affecting active functionality
• No files require special attention
