Ah, thanks Ronen. Sorry about that. Charbax, I'm interested in that question too...maybe Ronen knows more?

Does anyone know how Youtube works on this Google Media Server Upnp thing? Is Google somehow providing access to the complete Youtube through somekind of interface, I thought Upnp was limited to lists of files and that it wouldn't support special interfaces, search box, sorting orders, login and cookies and stuff like that. It would seem also that Google is then streaming the H264 480x360 resolution versions of all the videos since that is more compatible then the Flash7 320x240 versions. I wonder if by now Google has encoded all the videos in both formats or if the H264 library encodings are still in progress.

Just a small correction, TVersity does connect to YouTube.

The Google team are considering a Wii interface also at the moment the Wii wont work because it doesn't support uPnP but it will work with a HTTP interface .

Interestingly the Wii browser recognizes the plugin from the browser but will throw a forbidden massage because the admin page can only be accessed from localhost.
