[mythtv] Implications of the new youtube API

What do you think this will mean for us? Since, from what I understand, we
can now freely manipulate/search/view videos however we please using the
API, it is now fully okay to get youtube working more directly (no scraping,
or anything) with mythtv. Has anyone thoroughly skimmed the new API, and
what it's capable of? I assume we can directly get a raw FLV stream from it
(as the big thing it boasts is playing videos in whatever client you enjoy).

All of this, to me, means a custom frontend fro Youtube searches, and a
simple script to directly pull movie locations, passing it to internal or
mplayer.

It's all new so I thought a good discussion would be great.
