Hi there,

Is it still possible to stream youtube .flv files??? In the past i used

```auto

v7.cache2.googlevideo.com/videoplayback

```

```auto
http://cache.googlevideo.com/get_video?video_id

```

but unfort. that doesn’t work anymore.

I have created a custom slideshowpro player which i like to use with the youtube files.

Any tips/suggestions?
