Script Summary: This script will give you the ability to watch videos banned in your country, but not in the UK, on YouTube. Just click the error message, which is displayed instead of the video. Unblockyoutube.co.uk is used to load the video.
Version: 1.2
unblockyoutube.co.uk is a youtube proxy service located in the United Kingdom. So you can use that site to watch videos on YouTube, which are banned in your country, but not in the UK.
Technical information:
unblockyoutube.co.uk blocks hotlinking, which means, that we cannot open the video on their site directly, but go over their homepage. The URL is temporarily stored in the window.name browser variable. Then the unblocker homepage is loaded, the URL is inserted into the form input field and the form is being submitted. The video page will be displayed by the proxy service.
History:
v1.2:
- New: Support for videos embedded via html5. Script breaks out of the embedded frame.
- unblockyoutube.co.uk doesn't work on some channel videos at the moment. Load the videos in a new window or tab (e.g. by middleclicking the video link) instead first. You can use the script then without problems.
- Embedded videos, which fail to load, can't be recognized by the script (if it's embedded with flash and not html5).
