Exactly. NoScript users choose long ago for the convenience of allowing movies one-by-one (click to play) on sites, like Youtube, where even if the actual Flash object is always the same (i.e. the movie player) the actual content (the video stream) can be identified by differences in the URL parame...

Thanks for reply. Looks like the problem is Youtube inserting an unique identifier in movies URL. This appears to be the same throughout the session if you're allowing cookies, but to change with each request if cookies are disabled (probably because the server has no way to keep track of it). There...

Tom T , When you search video on Youtube.com -> Search ->(for example): Paul Simon - The Sound of Silence 9/11 Ground Zero -> You go to url http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3np0DMxXKzM - It`s a flash video, and it works normally with disabled cookies. But if you go to this video by therube`s link you...

Thank you for assistance.
P.S. Bug occurs in the case of access to the YT through SSL too. (for this test I used the HTTPS Everywhere ext).

IIUC, you're confirming that the geo setting does *not* affect the issue, correct? You experience it either way, correct? Yes, correct. (at least I have repeatedly tested this and found no differences). Appreciate the further tests. I didn't do them, as none of them seemed to have any mechanism tha...

No offense intended. I've escalated it, which is what support techs are supposed to do when they can't even reproduce the issue, much less diagnose it. Please, all wait for Giorgio to reply, unless you have some *new* information, or a cure. :) I have no important new information, but something tha...

For greater certainty, I now checked on another machine. All settings & conditions are the same , but another OS & Browser language/locale settings.
No changes - bug still produced.
Could it be that the bug depends on user`s IP range/(geo)location data ?

Nice vid, Ian. You may also want to demonstrate what I've demonstrated - the central claim that setting Firefox to block cookies, globally or just from youtube, produces the bug. So can you produce the bug with just the default settings in NS? Same as I did? I confirm - not necessarily check additi...

Now I checked on VM. WinXP SP3, clean install, only updates installed. Fx 8.0.1. NS 2.2.4rc3.
Same result. If anyone is interested - video: http://www.mediafire.com/?tjdh5yav53750p9

I believe you. Don't have time to watch the vids right now, but it's weird. We're both on XP, same Firefox (I'm back on F3 now, but it worked on Fx 8.01); same NS dev build (before you updated.) I have entire Embeddings page checked, including "Apply to whitelisted". IIUC, *regardless* of...

Win XP, Fx 8.01, NS 2.2.4rc2. ALL scripting blocked from YouTube and its relatives; cookies blocked. Video shows block-logo, clicking/confirm = loads and plays. So this issue was resolved, either by YT, or by something in NS? (sorry for the delay -- had to ban some spammers). I rechecked today. For...

This is correct - if you have not chosen "apply these restrictions to whitelisted sites too" in the Embeddings tab in the preferences. However, if you have chosen "apply these restrictions to whitelisted sites too", then you should expect to see a clickable placeholder and not h...

Not here. With youtube.com and ytimg.com whitelisted and cookies blocked (with CookieMonster) all videos play without a problem. Maybe it depends on the browser version. Have you tested it on version 8.0.1. ? Today I re-checked again and nothing has changed. On Win XP, Fx 8.01, NS 2.2.3., *all* Emb...

No, adding youtube-nocookie.com to whitelist does not resolve this issue (at least in my case).

Hello. Sorry for my bad English. probably a bug, but I'm not sure: Youtube and related (ytimg) whitelisted permanently. YT cookies disabled. NS Options -> embeddings tab : `Apply these restrictions to whitelisted sites too` - enabled, other options are also enabled.(Except ask for confirm.) Options ...
