Nah, I mentioned it to John, but he didn't seem to happy about the idea. It may get changed to xVST in the future, but, until then, we'll stick with the obscenely long full name

Yeah, aren't there a few Firefox extensions that do this already? A browser extension is better than a standalone app for something like this, IMO...

yeah I can see this program being very useful, and who wants to download another firefox extension that may not work with future Firefox versions? I don't install ANY firefox extensions that aren't already included with Firefox, for that very reason.

I only wish there was an easy way to remove the "YouTube" logo from videos without having to edit the videos entirely. I can see this being used only for good, because I have some YouTube videos about what life is like being blind, that would be a great help to put on my website, which you can't do easily without uploading the videos to your webserver directly, so I can see this being extremely useful to me for that reason.

(ok, sorry, didn't know links weren't allowed in sigs, it does not say in the rules, so thanks for informing me.)

Seems to work well...nothing

I'll do a update in a little bit, maybe this week end (I has a computer back!) so I'll get a new version running and go ahead with the name change to xVST

I think their names cant be generalised so the launcher would have to search for them which is difficult to code I think.

Sweet Laughing out loud Version 2.1 is the first non-alpha release (alpha/beta apps wouldn't be able to go official probably), and they're actually up to 2.2 now, which has support for RTMP (Adobe Flash) streamed videos. This is an awesome app, and I actually discovered it thanks to this thread. I'm going to install it locally for now, but hopefully it's not too much work to get it updated. Thanks for the great work Smiling
