Seems youtube/google has changed something. Now you have to have your mouse over the controls or video wont play. :(

Indeed. I am also having this issue. Youtube certainly changed the goal posts this month. basically as war59312 said, the mouse cursor needs to be hovering over the embedded youtube video in order to display the video, otherwise just the 'thumbnail' of the video is shown.

Hi all

This might not be the most efficient solution, but it worked for me. Just do the following changes in the source code:

--BEFORE:

pD.addEventListener('mouseout', pdmousOu = function(e){

altPlayerIMG.style.display='block';
mP.style.height='25px';

}, false);

--AFTER:

pD.addEventListener('mouseout', pdmousOu = function(e){

altPlayerIMG.style.display='none'; //changed from block => none
mP.style.height='385px'; //changed from 25px => 385px

}, false);

things have moved on. i'm now using the "YouTube HQ + 720p Ultimate [MAR 2009] [+autoplay off option]" script which can not only be (manually) set to buffer videos but also picks up HD content where available. still a huge fan of your scripts Yansky, keep up the good work.
