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?
