unity-webapps-youtube can't handle more than one youtube pages

[Bence Lukács]

If I open one youtube page there's no problem, but when I open the second one the integrated player in the sound indicator show the second title, and the Play/Pause button go crazy. I think the player should show the title of the video which is currently played or the second youtube page should have another player in the sound menu. Now if I click on the play button the first video stop and the second one start, and vice versa if I do it again.

The question here is how should multiple youtube instances appear? What should be the name for each one? I have prepared a customized version of the Youtube userscript to add multiple instances (Youtube 1, Youtube 2, ...) but the number after the youtube instance is not the most elegant thing, but at least it handles multiple youtube instances. If you are interested in it, I could attach it here, or maybe propose a merge, let's see if the developers have a better idea on how to handle multiple instances.

In your script are you just changing the unity.init name parameter? This should have a side effect of additional youtube launcher icons. Is this the case?

The mapping is sort of awkward. The sound menu was designed such that an app corresponds to a .desktop file. We don't really work that way.

We're having a similar problem with multiple GMail accounts and the messaging menu.
