Basically it looks like we should just stop reporting to YouTube that we support any codecs that we can't decode in hardware and then it'll only send us video in a format we can play smoothly.

Embedded youtube videos, like this: http://m.bleacherreport.com/articles/2352016-papa-johns-airs-wrong-commercial-congratulates-seahawks-after-super-bowl or this: http://pages.ebay.com/shoptheworld/ do not play back correctly. They exhibit stuttering and stopping, with oxide-renderer process using over 100% CPU. This was worked around on YouTube.com (and webapp) by using overriden UA string which makes YouTube send us a stream that we can playback smoothly. But this UA string is not presented to embedded videos within other sites. We should figure out how we can send the UA override to embedded videos (if possible), and if not what change could we make to our default UA string such that YouTube gives us content that we can render more efficiently.
