They may have before can't say because I never watched movies on youtube until recently I have netflix and hulu+. I do know that nothing I have tried has worked and youtube has made some changes recently. The apps/plug-ins I have tried just download the ad that plays before the movie and no other *getfile* has become available. I find this annoying because streaming buffers too much sometimes when I am not at home and don't have access to a decent internet connection or when youtube is getting bogged down. It also appears that if you pause the movie it stops loading which prevent you from building the buffer, well the loaded bar never progresses anyway.
