For the last few days I noticed that every time a YouTube video is posted in a thread using the YouTube-tags and I scroll down so that the video appears on my screen my browser immediately tries to connect to "localhost [127.0.0.1], port 8881" while I didn't even start it. If I don't allow it to connect the video still plays fine when I start it so it's confusing to me what that is supposed to be doing.

Obviously that's my machine and I'm not aware that I have anything running which is listening on that port. Does anyone else have this?
 
I'm just in to say that it's not happening anymore.
