    Hi there. Maybe Im wrong but isn’t this very similiar to http://www.YouTube.com/xxl ? And there’s also /trailer for movie lovers. But thanks for the in depth explanation on the settings.

    Made a mistake in the earlier post. Meant youtube.com/XL instead off xxl. Sorry

    A full screen video is better and no plug-in required. Am I missing the point?
