How Youtube blocks could possibly work:
Outside program connects to Youtube and saves a texture to a .jpg
The texture cache is updated as often as possible with the new .jpg so that the movie plays on a block.
The same program could play the audio from outside of the game. If the program has access to your distance from the video it may use this to control volume.
The same program could break up a video into multiple textures.
That way several blocks are used together to make a playing video which takes up a larger area.
This would enable a larger video playing over several blocks or the side of a building to be a movie screen.
I could get on board with making a theater kind of deal that you make a special screen and you can have a video rolling on it (could be useful for servers in explanation of rules). But I feel the system would have to be somewhat limited, low res video. Youtube in minecraft might be a bit novelty but giving minecraft the option of having video that plays in it could be cool and useful.
This... kind of made me sad. Minecraft should only be able to link to websites for a few reasons:

If it aint worth fixing dont fix it.

No... It just doesn't fit Minecraft (in my opinion).
