The problem here is that the final request for a movie from YouTube
movie is more like...

http://chi-v180.chi.youtube.com/get_video?video_id=04Ok0piOE2A&signature=D0DCB1D691AD33FE4AF19220ACBA240934D8AC24.05140038E156AAFFE0F7D25A7A82148EFAA108BD&ip=123.123.123.123&ipbits=16&expire=1206495944&key=yt1&sver=2

No flv string anywhere in there. "acl dp url_regex get_video" looks
like it would work better. At least for YouTube. Over all, it looks
like you would be best served by the patch Adrian mentions in his reply.
