When I use libswf0.8-ubuntu with libswfdecmozilla in Mozilla Firefox 3.x and visit the specified URL and try to play a video it doesn't work. This does work with Mozilla Firefox on Windows with Flash. Add I also see why, there is one thing different from Flash and a Google-server which has a strange configuration. It seems Flash thinks video.google.com is the same origin as eyehpr.vp.video.l.google.com, because it doesn't try to load a /crossdomains.xml, while libswf does. Now it seems there is a configuration problem or similair on the google-server, because when /crossdomains.xml is requested it redirects to: https://eyehpr.vp.video.l.google.com/ but there is nothing listening on it (a TCP-reset is sent back). And thus playback doesn't begin (?).
Please update to 0.8.2, it's fixed there.
