Watch YouTube videos on Wii in Fullscreen

This holiday I wanted to play a fireplace video on my Wii but the Internet channel and its Opera browser no longer allow fullscreen YouTube videos.  What good is a fireplace if it isn't the full screen?

I've solved this, sorta, but it's not convenient.  First we visit the video we want, using a computer browser, and click on the [Share] button, and then the [Embed] button:

Copy that Embed code and paste it into a text editor so we can just pull out the URL.  From this code:

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/LIJAsKCLTqc" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

we want just this part (the src= part):

http://www.youtube.com/embed/LIJAsKCLTqc

Now we can either enter that URL/link directly into the Wii's Opera browser, or we can shorten that URL at a place like tinyurl.com

TinyURL was created!

The following URL:

http://www.youtube.com/embed/LIJAsKCLTqc

has a length of 40 characters and resulted in the following TinyURL which has a length of 26 characters:

http://tinyurl.com/bth5wqg

That TinyURL is far easier to type.  Once you've loaded this into your Wii, press the Star button on the screen to bring up your favorites/bookmarks, and then add this as a favorite to not have to type it again!

Did this work for you?  Any suggestions or feedback?  Anyone know how we can force this to be a higher quality than the Wii default?
