I can't seem to play any youtube video that's embedded into another website. Playing
the videos from youtube.com works normally. I can also vnc into my desktop and watch the
same embedded video just fine from the vncviewer. Embedded google videos do not
have this problem.
When I play the video, the player tells me its "Loading" and just sits there with a blank screen indefinitely. Clicking on the youtube logo sends opera to youtube.com where I get this error message:
"The url contained a malformed video id."

This happens for example with every video on Thoughtfix's blog, where i can bypass
this error by manually searching for his videos on youtube proper. The problem is more
difficult on sites where the author or video's title is not listed, making finding the clip a
real pain.
Any ideas? or any fellow victims of this problem out there?

Here I am. Same problem, but saw that no one answered to your post.. First thing I've done aftter having received the N800 was accessing the ITT homepage, therefore trying to see the Intel UMPC walkthrough, but I get the same error as you

Hmm.. I see exactly the same thing.
