not taking away from his previous work, but
since google's plugin is based on VLC, he just took the source code, removed "+ const char* allowed_host = \"video.google.com\";" line and recompiled.
any monkey with a compiler can do it.

| Or they were to chickensh*t to put it out to the public. Either way you have to give this guy credit. His hacks work, they're almost always first, and he's not afraid of any repercussion.

nobody should be "checkenshit" to modify it.
nor can there possibly be any repercussions to his modifications since they are perfectly valid and legal under GPL license.

in my last reply i posted url
»code.google.com/patches.html
i'm no programmer, but looking at the posted diff file, it seems like majority of changes were to remove all mime support but "application/x-google-vlc-plugin" and relabel it from "VideoLAN VLC Plugin" to "Google VideoLAN VLC Plugin"
