If the youtube window loses focus while in fullscreen, for whatever reason, it reverts back to small web size. This is a PITA for people with multi-monitors who would want to use one screen as a webtv.

So far, workarounds involve hacking the assembly code of the particular flashVM executable (won't work if you update). Another option is to use a flash video downloader and just view your videos offline.

Focus-lockable fullscreen is a must-have feature of webtv.

While this is true, am I missing something? VICI.tv doesn't have a fullscreen button. At most it just takes up 100% of the width of the browser window.

Unrelatedly, I am really enjoying this, but also am wondering if it was a conscious design decision to remove the progress bar? Usually TV ends on the 00, 15, 30, 45 minute marks, but here it's hard to predict when the current clip will end.
