Looks nice, if you now registered yourself on the Swfdec Wiki and added them
(with a link from the frontpage), that would be awesome. There's always
people who want to test the Git version.
Although I guess you're right that the number of people building Swfdec will
be reduced pretty soon when it hits Gutsy. It's already in Debian unstable
after all.

For your interest, with the current 0.43 build:

It does work with Youtube, but only if you make sure that the Youtube URL
does not contain any additional stuff. IE
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7j_Y-dDzvGY
works, but
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7j_Y-dDzvGY&mode=related&search=
does not. That's a bug I figured out an hour ago. It's fixed in Git.

Works with flashblock :)


Pffft. :p
I don't think there's a need for Flashblock with Swfdec. At least that's one
of my goals and the reason for why Flashs in Swfdec start paused.

Thank you for all the work you have put into it.


Thank you for the encouragement.

Cheers,
Benjamin
