Youtube has just added support for high definition videos - 1280x720p resolution, stereo and the latest version of Smart Youtube plugin (v2.5) will play it. In order to use HD videos, you would use prefix the video URL with httpvhd://

New videos are best viewed full screen, beware they eat up a lot of bandwidth!

Pay attention that not all videos support HD resolution.

Thanks for the plugin. However, the httpvhd// url format did not work for me as it kept showing this "video is no longer available" on a blank screen. But when i tried httpvh// url it works.
