Looking for a way to deeplink YT for free, found this. So does this need to be hosted on a domain and then will take the viewer straight to the app?

This is great, thanks.
I've been using it for a while, it worked perfectly, now it's working except on Facebook, it doesn't even fallback to the webpage, just loads white blank page! Any ideas?

Can we do something like this for other apps? Like Instagram, Facebook, Twitter etc?
