Not sure if this has been suggested previously, but is there any chance of supporting HTML5 video?
At the moment I only get a warning about a missing plugin in Firefox, even though I'm in the HTML5 YouTube beta. (It's even worse in Epiphany. I get a screenfull of binary nonsense, but that's probably a bug in itself).
As far as I know, YouTube has some sort of auto detection for this when you use the normal embedding code as this just works pretty much everywhere else.
Thanks in advance,

If it was one that worked, based on my experience, you should have not had any issues.
The problem seems to be that it hardcodes the URL to the flash stuff, such as:
http://www.youtube.com/v/Py7HJiOeJjw&fs=1Wget that and you get a blob of application/x-shockwave-flash.
If I instead visit
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Py7HJiOeJjwI get a nice HTML5 video.Edit: The forum mangled the URLs I tried to post. Let's see if this works.

Edit > I'm an idiot, didn't even realise the embed code was currently telling it to use flash, will take a look at iframe then.
Edit 2 > Now using iframe code, let me know how it works.
Thanks for fixing this!
