Fixed it. Sorry. I hand-code all these posts, so I tend to make quite a few errors.

Wow, I get mentioned in this awesome blog ^_^

In my previous comment I said that the original app I wrote was lousy, but I neglected to mention that the code has, of course, been fixed and improved a lot, not only by me, but by fr33mind and OsamaK (and probably other people).

My app (WatchVideo) supports many sites, while TinyOGG only supports Vimeo and YouTube for now, but making it support more sites would be pretty simple.

Just one thing: there’s a typo in the URL to my site. You put /ar/ and it’s .ar/

For some reason. Flash is borked on SeaMonkey, but not FF, even when they share it. Everything else works, so it’a YT’s fault.

I just don’t watch YT thanks to this.

And for times when you do need a flash video, i have found a good solution for us cli lovers.

Today i was searching for a flash video downloader, i use video download helper addon for firefox, but want to get rid of it (less bloat). so after some searching i found this:

http://code.google.com/p/get-flash-videos/

I was skeptical about it, but after some usage i found that it works pretty well, even for non-youtube sites.

Installed it from aur on my arch machine. You should take a look.
