Since there is too many of these people: Dear people thinking this, Swfdec is not supposed to be a glorified Youtube player. Swfdec is supposed to be a full Flash player replacement. Actually, the tagline for Swfdec is “Swfdec – making Flash not suck“.
Making Youtube work is a pretty obvious first goal for anyone writing a general-purpose Flash player as it’s by far the most requested use case. But as anyone following development should have noticed, there has been no focus on adding missing Youtube functionality but instead improving general Flash support.

Oh, we agree in principle. It’s just that the only non-suck use of Flash we’ve ever seen is Youtube. :-)
If Swfdec showed Youtube correctly, and displayed an empty white box for every other Flash widget on the web, I would be perfectly happy. That would be the perfect Flash player, to me.
