Can't play some youtube urls w/ magic url redirect turned on #31

Some urls play ok - this one does not with magic url redirects turned on:

It does work with magic redirects turned off, but then I don't get full window video and I see a message from youtube that browser needs to be updated

many other youtube videos have the same problem

I'm using the latest code built from github - tag 5787

Thanks for the feedback, esp. the sample link; YouTube and Hulu are my big todo lists. If the redirects help, note that it's a global toggle so you're supposed to be able to switch; maybe make that a local pref (to the window) pref?

p.s. the YouTube message reL browser support is probably the UserAgent string being reported.
