An AppleTV user has posted a YouTube video demonstrating a new plugin which allows users to watch YouTube videos on the popular media device. [AwkwardTV][3], where we discovered the video, claims that the plug-in, named "A Series Of Tubes," will be available for download very soon.
Some people might question the usefulness of taking 320x240 encoded videos and playing them back on an HDTV, where it will most likely like crap, but I think at this stage though the point isn't necessarily about quality, but more about possiblity (video after the jump).
In other words yes, it isn't the most useful thing you're going to do with your AppleTV, but isn't it nice to know that you can? And actually, judging by the sample video (itself compressed) YouTube videos via AppleTV don't look that bad.
No word on when YouTube plans to convert videos to streaming HD quality.
