Bug Description

It would be possible to play some youtube videos (specifically the ones that have HTML5 support) without using flash.

To do this the following would need to happen:

A new plugin would have to be created that takes precedence over the regular youtube plugin and wraps the vlc plugin. This plugin will only be able to play videos that support html5.

This could also be implemented by interleaving with the current youtube plugin but that is slightly more complicated.
