>It does the progressive download for me with the plugin.

For what video? How do you know it's one in an FLV container? Totem's
YouTube plugin does not, as far as I can tell, allow you to choose which
format you get, except indirectly by setting your connection speed. I
notice that when I set my connection speed to 512, it won't do
progressive download on any of the videos I select, but when I set it to
Intranet/LAN, it does. It picks fmt=5 (an FLV container) when set to
512, and fmt=18 (an mp4 container) when set to Intranet.

As an example: the first URL is what I get in totem when I set my
connection speed to intranet and do a youtube search for "tron". The
second is the first result when I set my connection speed to 512 Kbps.
The only difference is the fmt=18 at the end. The first one buffers and
plays almost instantly, while the second one does not.

In any case, the bug is confirmed upstream.
