Update version 0.3 (2009-08-13): The script now works with the new Youtube page.
Update version 0.4 (2009-09-03): The default video quality is now configurable. (Thanks to themiddleman for the patch.)
Update version 0.5 (2009-09-08): Add support for Opera. (Please leave a comment or send me a message if it doesn't work for you. Sometimes the high quality version of the video doesn't work. I haven't been able to figure out yet when and why this is the case.)
Update version 0.5.1 (2009-09-21): Add support for Safari. (Thanks to samuel hallé.)
Update version 0.5.2 (2009-09-23): Add support for Epiphany.
Update version 0.6 (2009-10-25): Works again with current Youtube page. More options for video quality. (All changes by the middleman.)
Update version 0.6.1 (2009-10-25): Now the script also works with the Youtube button that resizes the video. (Thanks to magical_graam.)
Update version 0.6.2 (2009-10-27): Add support for Google Chrome. (Thanks to chromeuser8.)
Update version 0.6.3 (2009-11-01): Resizing seems to make Opera crash, so we disable resizing in Opera for the moment until we know how to fix it.
Update version 0.6.4 (2009-11-15): Add support for Midori and fix the problem that clicking the view without Flash links would always play the highest quality.
- download the video
- replace the Flash player by an embedded external player. (On Ubuntu, the default embedded player is the totem plugin, but you can also install mplayerplug-in or any other plugin that can play .flv and .mp4 videos.)
