I'm not a web developer so can't offer a solution to this as the code that is injecting the video is a little over my head.

If a video has a z-index set in its style, then the style of the "youtube5info" div ends up with the z-index also set, if this z-index is positive as it is on [Devour][1] then this results in the "youtube5info" div appearing "above" all of the controls. While the controls are visible they can't be clicked on as the clicks just go the "youtube5info" div click event, so you can only play or pause the video.

Not sure how you could properly fix this. 'style="z-index: 9999999" on the controls would probably work :p
