Apparently Google doesn't like my open-source Flash plugin, so I guess I don't get to watch it.  I guess my life will go on :)

You guys are freaking nuts. Are you kidding me?

WTF!!!!!!!

That video is designed to play using the new Google Embedded Player.

Quote:
On January 9, 2006, Google released its own video player and added download support on the website in the form of a gvi file format, as well iPod and Playstation Portable support in .mp4.

Currently, users in some regions cannot play videos of this service, when a viewer tries to play a video and he's not in the supported countries he got the following message:

Thanks for your interest in Google Video.
Currently, the playback feature of Google Video isn't available in your country.
We hope to make this feature available more widely in the future, and we really appreciate your patience.
There are several ways to work around this restriction, some of them are explained HERE.


If you look at the url you can see the GOOGLE PLAYER is designated in the address.....

"http://video.google.com/googleplayer.swf?videoUrl......{snip}

If you copy this edited URL and paste in in your browser address, you can watch the freaking movie, you nutjobs!

Quote:
Edited URL for the conspiracy nutjobs on the F150 forum............... http://video.google.com/googleplayer...rMode=embedded


Right click on the link and select "Copy Shortcut" and paste it in your browsers address window, and hit the "Go" button.

Censored........yeah, sure it is.
Thats all from another forum  I visit

works for me w/the workaround
