It took a little longer than I'd have liked, considering the simplicity of the patch, but I've finally added support for high-resolution videos in Totem's YouTube plugin.
Compare:
On the top is the old, low-resolution video, and on the bottom is the spiffy new high-resolution video, automatically downloaded using YouTube's fmt=18 option if your connection speed is set to 1.5Mbps or higher. As per Bastien's testing, we can't use the fmt=6 option due to it not being supported for many videos.
The difference may not be immediately obvious due to the window being so small for the screenshot, but it is visible — just look at the left-hand side of the hut's roof. Enjoy.
It sure would be nice if your plug-in worked in Fedora.
Although i don't get an error on the command line as in this bug:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=441649
... I do get:
"Totem cannot play this type of media (YouTube) because you do not have the appropriate plugins to handle it."
...and yes, i do have every gstreamer plugin installed 🙂

Do you want to e-mail me (see the contact page) to sort this out? I don't really want to do bug triaging in a comment thread. 😉
Sounds like the check for the flvdemux or soup plugin is failing, though.
Philip, thanks for your response.
I found that:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/totem/+bug/191760/comments/15
... seams to fix this for me.
Now, if only every program was written in python ( and python was really really fast ) it would be so much easier for users like me to make little changes to try and resolve issues.
Cheers,
Fred
