Excellent! Thank you so much for this script. It has been the only one of the "replace adobe flash with something else" type of scripts that has worked for me so far. This means I don't have to switch on Linux emulation and switch to opera to look at youtube. Yay!
Edit -- damn Frickin youtube changed their formatting literally hours after I installed this. Now it doesn't work. Stupid damn youtube. The OSS world gets so much disrespect. |

Can you make this work for embedded youtube? It's so much nicer than the flash player. |

georgie, you can edit the script and change the mime type from video/quicktime to anything that VLC supports. I think video/x-flv would work. |

I have done some testing in Windows. First, to get VLC to work, you need to check the "Mozilla plugin" option when you install it. Quicktime player can actually play the videos if you have selected "Use MP4 format always", but it won't resize the player. Since VLC doesn't have controls you can not make it go fullscreen... or anything else. I might add some javascript based buttons later. |

I registered on userscripts just to thank you for this. I'm using it with mplayer. At first youtube was out of sync, but then I set up the mplayer plugin config like you said and set up the script to default to a higher encoding. I donno which of these did it, but it works perfectly now. Thank you |

Ok, I have tested the script under Kubuntu and it works ok. It must be some plugin conflict or maybe the plugin doesn't works well with Windows |

For some reason, although VLC for Windows can play a flv from the "get_video" URL, the VLC plugin doesn't seem to support the "video/x-flv" MIME type according to about:plugins Can you please test the script with the VLC plugin? |

Very Good script. I knew about the fmt 18 code for the MP4 quality but I didn't know the fmt 6 code for the hq flv. The only thing that I wish is to have the name of video as the name of the file you save i.e. some kind of routine to take the title of the web page and put it as filename. |
