Hi out there,
just FYI: the change is rather minor, the flashvar to look for is now named
"url_encoded_fmt_stream_map" which contains a long URL encoded string, which has
a new format: varying amounts of parameters divided by colons (the parameters
url, fallback_host, itag, quality and type seem to be present for every "entry").
The "url" parameter contains an url-encoded URL pointing to the file.
"fallback_host" should be a possible replacement for the host given in "url".
"itag": no idea, maybe they're what was previously "fmt"? It seems to be
different for each type-quality paring.
"quality": I've seen medium and small so far, important to note: a given quality
can be present multiple times.
"type": an url-encoded string defining the MIME type, sometimes with a ";
codecs=…" suffix. There can be several types for one quality, e.g. you might
have "quality=medium" three times but each one with a different "type" (e.g.
»video/webm; codecs="vp8.0, vorbis"«, »video/x-flv« and »video/mp4;
codecs="avc1.42001E, mp4a.40.2"«)

Didn't have time to cobble a patch together, but thought this might help others
in fixing this issue faster. ;)

Kind regards,
Kai Wasserbäch
