no longer works with YouTube

I was hoping to not have to pull in the git snapshot, but I guess it's unavoidable.

Sadly, both Gnash and the YouTube plugin for Totem fall into the same category of "packages endangered by Google's ever-changing API" and until Google learns to really play ball with the Free Software community by avoiding API changes between distro releases, there's not much that we can do.

Until then, you can use Minitube. They have fixed the problem and youtube plays flawlessly. You can also download HD in one click. Search for it in repos.

This bug was fixed in the package gnash - 0.8.9-1ubuntu1
