[YouTube-API] Re: onStateChange not firing in Chrome 16

That's an excellent point Jeff, thanks for the tip about parsing the
youtube video urls.
For now I've removed the &nomobile parameter, it doesn't look like
it's needed anyway.
I'm still getting the same error, but for me Chrome just throws the
error "Uncaught
SyntaxError: Unexpected token ILLEGAL" in the console, but I don't get
any indication what line or what file is causing the issue. Through
trial and error I found that commenting out line 331 of scode.js on
the page removed the error, and from there I found that if the
callback parameter includes a . (e.g. adytt.pl['"+a+"'].st ) it throws
the error, but if I pass in a global method (e.g. Alert) I get no
error and the callback gets made.
And as I stated previously, forcing the player to use version=3
results in no errors either way.
