Most YT videos no longer open (copy / paste the URL directly in SMP). Nor in latest stable VLC (Win) - for that matter.
* They also fail when playing from the YouTube Browser. Same error in SMP logs - whether trying to play from YT Browser, or copy / paste URL into SMP.
* The vids that fail in SMP
all play directly in Firefox (HTML5).
* NOTE: I went thru the "update youtube code" process - which showed successful. Restarted SMP.
This vid was mentioned in a post on this forum - so I tried it (& failed):

This also fails:

Apparently no Mplayer log generated, 'cause file never opens? Mplayer log's empty (but logging for it is enabled in prefs).

The same vids play in Fx, that fail in SMP - giving "status 301" (? moved permanently ?), so if the 301 error means "permanently moved," it hasn't moved as far as Firefox is concerned.
But since both SMP & VLC used to play YT vids, but now latest vers. of both players can't play them, I assume YT has changed things again?
Can't we all just get along? If a computer crashes when no one's around, does it make a sound?
