Searching YouTube is pretty key for my use. I've never been one for  
just accepting the choices I'm handed and picking one from a "top"  
list. :) That aside, I've never managed to get YouTube videos to play  
in MythNews using ATrpms packages. I just never spent the time to  
figure out why. Maybe I'll give it another shot this weekend.
