Not that big of deal, google already said what open source product it was based on (vlc) so all he had to do was a diff and figure what had been changed.
Cracked ?? when you have the source code handy just to change a couple of lines and restrictions thats not cracking something..... not a big deal anyway..
cracked my ass... how are you supposed to install it when clicking on the link results in an error msg: request for the permission of type system.security.permissions.registrypermissions. ETC failed.
@make7upurs: Cracked as in no longer having this restriction: "This “feature�? prevents you from playing videos that are not hosted on Google’s servers."

It's open source anyway... and videolan also has a mozilla plugin so... no point.
