10.000 lines of code changed, and suddenly Swfdec plays Youtube.
Here's the release that makes it possible:
swfdec-0.4.3 "Your tube"
http://swfdec.freedesktop.org/download/swfdec/0.4/swfdec-0.4.3.tar.gz

This release focused on supporting video features and scripting
features. It's been a lot of under-the-hood changes. While it's still
nowhere near complete, some video sites - in particular Youtube - now
show their videos. Of course, a lot of files still don't work.
swfdec-mozilla-0.4.3 "Now this puny world will bow down to me!"
http://swfdec.freedesktop.org/download/swfdec-mozilla/0.4/swfdec-mozilla-0.4.3.tar.gz
MD5: b2a412a9cd603e6769a402bd0b68451b
The plugin has seen some important bugfixes. The properties dialog has
also become a lot nicer and you can even watch large files downloading.
Swfdec still is development software, but has also followed a rigid
no-crashes-allowed policy. I believe it's stable enough now to be
installed as a default plugin for people that can live with occasional
crashes of their browser. But don't blame me if it does crash. File a
bug at https://bugs.freedesktop.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=swfdec

Happy video watching,
