"VLC Player, one of the best and most widely used media players has found to be vulnerable to a remote hijack. The reported vulnerability makes it possible for a malicious user to run arbitrary code, potentially taking remote control of the host machine."

So here is a new feature from YouTube. DemoGirl put together a nice screencast showing how it works, but essentially, you can skin (however limited) a player to match your site design. The player also lets you scroll through all the videos that you've uploaded to YouTube. Its a really simple way to keep people up to date with your postings as well as watch what others are up to.

The Flash Video (FLV) Player can be used standalone, without the need for the Flash authoring tool. The player allows you to show your videos more controlled and to a broader audience than with Quicktime, Windows Media or Real Media. It supports playback of a single FLV file, RTMP streams or RSS/XSPF/ATOM playlists, a wide range of flashvars (settings) for tweaking both behavior and appearance and an extensive, documented javascript/actionscript API.

Songbird is a desktop Web player, a digital jukebox and Web browser mash-up. Like Winamp, it supports extensions and skins feathers. Like Firefox, it is built from Mozilla, cross-platform and open source.

Pretty cool way to scrub through bookmarked websites and quickly review and play the music and media files located there.
