Please note: I am no longer developing this any more mainly due to loss of interest and also the official YouTube player is a lot better then it was in the past. If you would like to develop it further feel free. Also, I am sure the video detection code would be useful in many scripts.
-- TODO --
When I learn the Flowplayer APIs and plugins and have time I will try to add:
Support for annotations
Quality selecting
YouTube video link
Other cool interface stuff
Also, if you want to add something, feel free, just send me a patch.
Go read the docs here: http://flowplayer.org/documentation/api/index.html and make something cool!

Made a few minor changes to Yansky's Youtube Alternate Video Player script (http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/13955), including fixing sizing issues of the player and video and problems with URIs that have a hash in them.
