I posted this bug few months ago to fedora bugzilla here:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=430629

This is an update of that bug:

http://www.fedoratv.com - site down?!?

http://www.ted.com - front page isn't rendered correctly, individual videos
just don't start

http://www.youtube.com/ - you need to click on video in order to see controls
but it works ok! Rewinding to uncached part doesn't work (it works with
Adobe
Flash 9 and 10 player)

http://www.blip.tv - frontpage video works but other videos I click I see totem
plugin loading instead of swfdec

http://video.google.com/ - it works now.  Rewinding to uncached part doesn't
work (it works with Adobe Flash 9 and 10 player)

http://www.redtube.com NSFW - videos don't play (looks also like buffering)

http://www.metacafe.com - doesn't even start.

http://www.videojug.com - it works now (but looong wait for buffering)

http://sclipo.com/ - doesn't even start

http://www.dailymotion.com - audio and video not in sync?!?

http://crackle.com - doesn't even start

http://www.revver.com - doesn't even start

http://www.veoh.com - video plays but "loading" message that shows
buffering stays overlayed over the video the whole time

http://video.msn.com - doesn't even start


tested with swfdec 0.6.0 on Fedora 10 and Firefox 3.0.4

first of all, as already said in rh bug you have to update to latest stable
version 0.8.2 which should be available for your distro. 
> http://www.fedoratv.com - site down?!?
can't help with this :)
> http://www.ted.com - front page isn't rendered correctly, individual
videos

already in bugzilla

clicking before playing is how swfdec plugin worked before 0.8.0 which have an
autoplaying feature that remembers your latest choices. 
> http://www.blip.tv - frontpage video works but other videos I click I see
totem

works for me, if you see totem they probably aren't flash files
> http://video.google.com/ - it works now.  Rewinding to uncached part

the rewind problem has already a bugzilla entry against youtube.com
> http://www.redtube.com NSFW - videos don't play (looks also like
buffering)
confirm, doesn't work with latest git
> http://www.metacafe.com - doesn't even start.
flash 9, swfdec currently does not handle that. Bug for these already in
bugzilla though.
> http://www.videojug.com - it works now (but looong wait for buffering)
this works with some issues with latest git 
> http://sclipo.com/ - doesn't even start
this does not work with latest git
> http://www.dailymotion.com - audio and video not in sync?!?
we already have a bug for this in bugzilla
> http://crackle.com - doesn't even start
flash 9.
> http://www.revver.com - doesn't even start
this hangs my browser.
> http://www.veoh.com - video plays but "loading" message that

flash 9.

Really, please upgrade before further testing. Thank you.

well, tried 3 files with firefox: 2 works, 1 no video but fine audio so this
could be a video codec issue.

So to make things clearer that's what is not working or doesn't have a
bugzilla
entry:

- http://www.redtube.com - NSFW
- http://sclipo.com
- http://www.godtube.com
- http://www.revver.com - looks like there could be some video codec issues
