I don't know how to determine whether a video is encoded in H264, but I did make some progress so that I get some streaming video and audio. Turns out that you have to look at the Javascript source on the YouTube page and extract the video_id in addition to the SWF URL, and then run the player like so: swfplay http://s.ytimg.com/yt/swf/watch-vfl67812.swf?video_id=q8hBjT2EekY This kinda works but unfortunately doesn't perform well. After 6-27 seconds the video and audio both become very choppy, dropping out for several seconds and then picking up for a second or two. This is accompanied by 100% CPU load so it's possible I just don't have beefy enough hardware to satisfy swfdec. It is a 3GHz Mobile Intel Pentium 4, ~6100 bogomips. I have similar results on 0.9.2, 0.8.2, and 0.6.8. I guess what I am looking for now is some performance tuning suggestions to try to get my player to keep up. Maybe some slick compiler options, some way to get profiling information from swfplay, maybe try to cache the streaming .flv video, etc. I will try upgrading to the .git version and let you know if I have better results.
