But that's not a serious thing. The serious issue is what Chris said in #13 and Jaafer said in #19. If SplashCast puts in their own advertising, I think YouTube or any other service providing the content and hosting would want a cut. And, if YouTube has in-stream advertising (which will not be pre-roll, by the way), will SplashCast remove it, get a cut from it? This is the same issue I raised with AdBrite's player and I think we will have to wait and see how it plays out. No one wants to be the sucker host, everyone needs to monetize. Marshall -- care to tell us of any conversations or deals with those sites that are hosting a lot of the content?

Is there a tutorial out there on how this is done? Is it by capturing the URL? I'd like to get a better technical understanding of how this works and if YT can cut off access. Thanks!

YT will foot the bandwidth bill, so it's hard to imagine them willing to allow these 3rd parties to use their hosting infrastructure for free. Also what will happen when there are pre-roll ads before every YT video. In this SplashCast, if that source is used in their playlist, that pre-roll ad will also be played in the middle of the playlist, which may be wierd from an end-user experience point of view.
