How do you get from the value on the left to the value on the right?
| UUID | ? |
|---|---|
| 2126816c-89f5-4aab-842f-65b9f3a39c8b | 56qHyeZvHYZitUFukWo5rz |
| 8b9f9c44-6e1b-485b-af00-c8b0e0067d59 | ieZJYUFB83oQacsNiQ55Bt |
| 72bd4bd2-9538-43f3-81b2-b8df991a32d8 | faLTidGsoG1G1TPLKUFcJh |
It's not hex to base64 or hex to base58. That's when I gave up and decided to comradesource it.
Context
PeerTube creates two URLs for each video. The original, long one looks like this:
https://tankie.tube/videos/watch/2126816c-89f5-4aab-842f-65b9f3a39c8b
And the sleeker format looks like this:

The database only stores the UUID so the shorter ID must be a function of the first.
Thank you!
It looks like the bitcoin implementation has the lowercase letters coming after the uppercase. That explains it. I assumed it was standardized.
