Now I am not sure, how you've made it so that the FLV plays from the server directly, maybe a file leecher that let's you insert the direct link to the FLV on the youtube or LiveVideo server.
Now FDC servers have been my favorite for all my filesharing experiments, it's the closest I have gotten to being on something that's actually unmetered.
FDC - Services - Virtual Dedicated Servers :: Dedicated servers, Colocation chicago, Virtual dedicated servers, Dedicated server forums, virtual dedicated server forums, VDS, VPS, virtual private servers
Let's say you code a script that downloads FLV straight from Youtube to your own server (in this case an FDC unmetered VPS) and we utilise this FLV link for embedding on our server. This would prevent the NaN Anti-leech errors and let us stream from our own server without having to go through a lot of trouble.
Check out Rapid Leech - This does exactly what I said before file sharing sites like rapidshare and stuff.
Let me know what you think.

Hmm I like the idea but in a way I would do more research on the servers, for instance with my GoDaddy account I get 100GB of storage space and 1 Terabyte of transfer each month, now this works out to be about 3000 of my hosted videos played each day.
The price is currently set at about $70 a year so around $6 or $7 per month, with prices like that its pretty fucking cheap, so when the time comes and I exceed the 3000 played vids per day from my server I can just buy another hosting for another $70 per year now if the site cannot make more then $70 per year or $7 bucks per month with 3000 vids being played each day then there is something really fucking wrong with the site.
Now obviously there are tons of issues with not running your own servers and its 10 times better to run your own servers but the main thing to keep in mind I think will be price, storage space, and bandwidth.
I mean fuck for around $2K I can build my own server with a Terabyte or more of storage space and I could go down to my local internet service provider and see how much they would charge me per month to hook up my server to there connection if I do all the maintience and keep my server out of there way.
This would enable me to have complete control over my own server but again it would be interesting to know how much bandwidth allowment my local ISP would give me for a specified price.
The rapid share script looks very handy and I'll have to try it out, it could really speed things up when adding new videos to your site just as long as I could somehow change around the naming convention with it all.
But its definately a kick ass idea to look into more.
