Please add HTML5 support for YouTube and Vimeo

YouTube and Vimeo seem to no longer support the Flash Player for management in Garry's Mod, it was set by the fact that I made an error when trying to play a video from YouTube and Vimeo today:

Thank you for the wonderful library, I hope you will correct these problems!

Not sure if I will have time to look at how HTML5 player works or how much work would it be to fix.

Yeah videos ain't working anymore.
Wyozi DJ Radio is broken too now.

Looked briefly into this. Every gamemode/whatever that uses youtube (Cinema, gm-mediaplayer, YukiTheater is broken) so I doubt I can do anything to magically fix this.

I'll keep this open to track possible fixes happening.

I can still play videos with using HTML panels.

This can be worked around by using the chromium branch for Garry's Mod. Fixing it on main branch requires Garry's Mod update.

@wyozi I understand you, we will wait for the update of Awesomium in Garry's Mod, will you support the library medialib when Facepunch will add HTML5 to the browser Awesomium?

[wyozi]

Depends on how busy I am when stuff breaks. I tested medialib in the chromium branch and it seems to work fine, so hopefully when the chromium merge happens I won't need to do any changes.
