First of all, it's nothing to do with skins. It would need to be developed on XBMC level. There is no need for any collaboration here. As soon as XBMC could fetch a token based on the normal youtube url, this issue had gone. Thus this feature request needs to be raised for xbmc developers.
Secondly, xbmc devs are not supporting the use of any Media Managers. They say, xbmc has it's own scrapers, there is no need for 3rd party media managers. They are just tolerating them. So even if there was a need for collaboration(which is not the case), it wouldn't happen.
Yes, we need to think about that. I agree that saving youtube URLs to nfo will confuse users. Actually Ember only supports imdb/youtube trailers, but there should be a feature to manually enter any permanent direct link (not youtube obviously) and save it to nfo for streaming purposes, where we can use this piece of code. We will discuss this and come up with an idea...
Too bad it can't be done...As I've said before it would probably be against Youtube's current terms anyway...The Popcorn Hour had to remove youtube support, and I think it's the same story with the Xtreamer.
Setting a custom link would be awesome...could it link to mov file from Apple trailers too? Because with the use of a greasemonkey script it's relatively easy to get the .mov link. For as far as I can see, it does not have any randomness in the link...so it's permanent.
