Re: [Swfdec] Using swfplay to play youtube swf file.

[Benjamin Otte]

Hey,

I usually use the simple links like
http://www.youtube.com/v/NHrnuclAt2M and those work fine.
However, there is a lot of stuff that an go wrong if you download the
video file and try to play it locally instead of inside the page it
comes from, such as:
- relative links not working
- interaction with the browser not working (cookies etc)
So while it often works, there's not guarantee that it will.
FWIW, the link you gave doesn't work in Adobe's player either.

Cheers,
Benjamin
