Not working with Flash 10.0 r12

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Download the latest version of Flash from the Adobe website and install
it. (http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/)
2. Drag a video from youtube into your playlist
3. Double click it

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
It should play the video, but instead I get a blank white screen. Yes, my
Flash security settings are set to "always allow".

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Youplayer 0.9.8, Firefox 3.0.3, Windows XP SP2.

Please provide any additional information below.
If you download the Adobe Flash Player Uninstaller here:

And grab the older version of Flash here and install it:
http://mytopfiles.com/archives/file/flash_player_update6_flash9/233427.htm

(install file is Players\Release\Install Flash Player 9 Plugin.msi)

The plugin works fine. The problem is that some sites are beginning to
require the use of Flash 10, so I can't stick with Flash 9 forever.

Since I've heard no word from the YouPlayer developer, and this is still broken 
(even
since I upgraded to Vista), I am uninstalling YouPlayer permanently. If there's
anyone here able to code, please fix it and contact the developer.

It's a real shame because there is NO substitute out there. I suppose I could 
run a
Virtual Machine with Flash 9, but that seems like a ridiculous workaround to 
fix what
should be something simple for someone who knows how to code.

Hey, i had the same problem until now ;-)
As I am a programmer I tried to find a solution.

I found out that the code is flawless. The developer are using two different
flashplayer if "Use new Player" is checked. One player for the local files (this
player is on your computer) and one player for remote files e.g. from Youtube 
(this
player is on a web server)

The player for local files works fine. You can try this, if you have a .flv 
video on
your computer and add it to the playlist. The video should play without 
problems.

The player for remote files is not working because there is a download returned 
if
the program trys to call the player. If you enter
"http://youplayer.googlecode.com/files/mediaplayer.swf" to your adressbar a 
download
window is shown instead of a player.

So you can wait until the developer correct the problem on their server or try 
to
upload a remote player to your own webspace if you are willing to make a small 
change
in the code of youplayer.

For everybody who don't want to wait until the developer solve the problem:

The Addon Code can be found in your Firefox Userprofile in the folder:
\extensions\youplayer@addons.mozilla.org\chrome\content

(The Path to your Firefox Userprofile depends on your operating system and your
Language. So if you dont know the path please lookup in the internet. On my 
computer
the path is e.g. "C:\Dokumente und
Einstellungen\<Username>\Anwendungsdaten\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\<random
numbers>.default")

In the content folder there is a file named mediaplayer.swf. Please upload this 
file
to your webserver.

Then open the file youplayer.js in an editor. Around line 353 you should find a 
line
with the followning code:
buffer += "http://youplayer.googlecode.com/files/mediaplayer.swf";

Replace the URL in quotation marks with the URL to the player on your server 
e.g.:
buffer += "http://myserver.de/mediaplayer.swf";

- completed -

I hope my englis is not to bad, i come from germany.
best regards

For me it won't work. The jw player is loaded but it takes forever to cache the 
video
and it's stuck at 0%.

Btw. isn't it easier to add

"file:///C:/Users/your user/AppData/Roaming/Mozilla/Firefox/Profiles/your
profile/extensions/youplayer@addons.mozilla.org/chrome/content/mediaplayer.swf"

to the buffer string instead uploading it somewhere?
