I have seen a lot of posts about some videos not working on youtube.
I too have had this problem and it is not a codec problem.
After much investigation, i have finally found the cause of the broken videos.
Some videos at random (I am not sure what triggers the bug) are missing a part if the link, the 't' variable.
Let's use Scatman John's video 'Scatman' as an example.
(In the plugin's search, you can enter 'Scatman' and get this video from the first result.
This video is located here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mpHLEm9-0bg
The link fed into the player SHOULD be: http://youtube.com/get_video?video_...cFN8KspMtieHgk5HfP2kB7ZmLLUt3rchdyA=&ext=.***
however, the link being fed is: http://youtube.com/get_video?video_id=mpHLEm9-0bg&t=&ext=.***
Notice how the 't' variable is blank in the link?
Also, shouldn't the 'ext' variable be replaced with the 'fmt' variable?
This happens on random videos through favorites, feeds, AND search.
I have tried all setting in the config for quality.
Could a dev look into this please? it is breaking the true value of the youtube portion of this plugin, and I am sure it is an easy fix.
I am running the latest plugin, latest MP SVN, and am on Vista ultimate x64.
All other videos work fine.
