I am using 0.5.4 swfplay player. When watching some video (for example "http://www.dailymotion.com/swf/2VqUd9kqyYrzvpr4p"), all the video is downloaded in RAM before playing. I don't know if it is the flash player of dailymotion which is stupid to do that, or if it is a swfdec limitation. But because the video can be huge, I believe there should be in swfdec something that limit the total memory that can be eaten (by flash execution).
