The crashing is probably not good, but I think we concluded that the link is machine specific, so would only work on my Mac. It did work well though! On May 5, 2011, at 9:52 PM, David C. wrote: > All I get (very consistently) is: > The RunRev revWeb plugin has crashed. __

That long link works for me too. I can't be the only one here able to view video online! Looking at it though, it seems to have a lot of parameters, so maybe it can only play on my computer. It doesn't work on my iPad. I'll dig deeper to see if I can get at the actual mp4 url. On May 5, 2011

I did say you would need to scrape the page source, not the page URL. An easy way to go about that is to opt in to the HTML5 version of YouTube. Go here to do that: http://www.youtube.com/html5 Once you have done that, look at any video and then see what URL is being played by the player. It

Hello All, Just looking for some general advice. If I had a standalone or revlet, and I wanted it to be able to play an online vide -- say, one hosted on YouTube -- how could that be done? All I can conceive of now is a player object with its filename set to an url or something. But while I begi
