For the record:

Last time I tried to filter flv from youtube I noticed that they changed
the mime type, now I use this acls:

# (6) ACL YOUTUBE MIME
acl flash_videos_rep_mime rep_mime_type video/flv
acl flash_videos_rep_mime rep_mime_type video/x-flv

NOTE: new mime type is vide/x-flv

Amos, is it worth to update the wiki?
