There are some videos I can't play in the youtube2 script, notably a few football clips. I found this in the Youtube2 README under known bugs and I assume this is the reason I cannot play certain videos.
"When you play a video clip YouTube redirects you to a mirror hosting the file. Some of these mirrors run lighttpd, and some run Apache httpd. The files hosted on lighttpd can't be played due to a bug in the video engine Xbox Media Center uses."
I was wondering if anyone knew if or when this bug will be fixed. I did find that using the context menu and clicking details those videos that displayed a thumbnail were playable and those that didn't did not play. Therefore if the bug is not going to be fixed until the next build I was wondering if there was a way to display thumbnails of the Youtube videos instead of a list. I seem to remember a while back that one of the youtube scripts did show thumbnails, though I cannot remember which one.
