I haven't tested Open Video Player with PR1.2, but when testing cuteTube (which also uses QML Video element) with PR1.2 I found that playing the 480p YouTube videos causes a segfault if the aspect ratio is 16:9. The output is

Code:
map_buffer: buffer not aligned: 0x41bec5a0-0x41cb6da0
map_buffer: buffer not aligned: 0x41bec5a0-0x41cb6da0
map_buffer: buffer not aligned: 0x41bec5a0-0x41cb6da0
map_buffer: buffer not aligned: 0x41bec5a0-0x41cb6da0
virtual uchar* QGStreamerGLTextureBuffer::map(QAbstractVideoBuffer::MapMode, int*, int*) acquire-frame failed 0 
Segmentation fault
I think now I have no choice but to use the stock video player for downloaded videos in cuteTube. The story of the QML Video element just goes from bad to worse. It's unusable in Symbian, far from perfect in Maemo5, and now I find that, quite apart from the terrible scaling issues (which seem to have improved somewhat in PR1.2), it is now unstable in Harmattan.
