Great idea!

It used to handle only the popular section of GoogleVideo, but now you can also define searchterms... just set the searchterm option!
Here's the history:
0.7.3.0
* Full Internet Explorer support
* Correct Aspect Ratio preview
0.7.0.0
* Half-baken Internet Explorer support: In MSIE you won't get the preview image scaled to your window width, because percentage scaling doesn't seem to work correctly.. instead you'll only get a 160x120 icon.
* Invalid search handling. Now when your search term doesn't return any results, it will instead load a video from the Random or Popular tab.
* Really random videos: A random string is added to every Random or Popular request to keep Google from buffering.
* Video does now stretch.
* Inline support removed in favour of better video resize handling and MSIE compatibility
* Some other stuff that I can't remember right now.
0.5.1.0
* Get a video from either Random or Popular category.
* Get videos from your own search... (try "simpsons")
* Enable/Disable Autoplay
