Issues accessing (new) YouTube API from Silverlight 2.0

They obviously do also not support Flash/Flex based cross-domain access, as Silverlight 2.0 also respects the cross domain authorization for Flash players and would work just fine.

I've sent the Google API team an email about it and wait for an answer.

Part 2 of my tutorial on HTTP networking with Silverlight 2.0 will then showcase how to build an integrated experience with Silverlight and the YouTube backend!
