Okay so I'm trying to work on the fix for Yahoo! Videos for AME, but I highly doubt it'll be possible to support Yahoo! Videos because we need two things in order to get the embed to work and display the video, but the URL's only provide one of those two things. Let me explain ...

URL is:

http://video.yahoo.com/video/play?vid=744707&fr=&cache=1

Embed Code is:

<embed src="http://us.i1.yimg.com/cosmos.bcst.yahoo.com/player/media/swf/FLVVideoSolo.swf" flashvars="vid=VIDEOvidHERE&id=VIDEOidHERE" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="350"></embed>

We need to retrieve the vid= (which is 744707 for this example) and that's great and no problem as we can do that with RegexBuddy, but the other part we need is id=, which is not in the URL, so how can we get it? Any ideas? The id= information can be found on the Video's Yahoo! page under the <embed> code they provide in the "Add to Site:" section.

Anyways, if anyone has a solution for this, then let me know cause if not, then Yahoo! Videos is out the question for this Hack. The only solution I can think of right now is for The Geek to add some more coding into the Hack so that the server will request the Yahoo! Video Page and find the contents of id=, then recreate the URL so it includes that information.

PS. For DailyMotion it would be the same exact thing, it wont work unless we can get this Hack to request the Video Page and find the contents of the information needed that's not included in the URL already.
