DISCLAIMER: I've only just tried this, and I'm not sure whether this will actually disable some of the stuff this script does - show YouTube videos, for example. Vivek, what effect does it have?

In either case, it determines the real url behind the code, which can be youtube.com or something else. Once script has this real url it calls the required show* function(like showYoutube). In other words, this script does not expand the existing URLs to show them on the front-end. It just uses those URLs internally.
