Jon has released a crack for google’s video viewer which allows you to view movies from anywhere (as opposed to those hosted only by google.com). Here is the crux of the code which prevents that:

// Google mods  
const char\* allowed\_host = \\"video.google.com\\";  
char \* host\_found = strstr(p\_sys->url.psz\_host, allowed\_host);  
if ((host\_found == NULL) ||  
 ((host\_found + strlen(allowed\_host)) !=  
 (p\_sys->url.psz\_host + strlen(p\_sys->url.psz\_host)))) {  
 msg\_Warn( p\_access, \\"invalid host, only video.google.com is allowed\\" );  
 goto error;  
}
