While watching a video that shows the buffering, toggle the keybaord 'o' key (brings up the OSD) and look for bottle necks, dropped frames, fetching, gfx limitations, or cpu threshold giving issues.

Looks like your hardware is fine, most of the errors are failures to connect, bad gateways, and server issues which could be related to your ISP, the server you're connecting with, the hops between you and the source.
<Connect, didn't get any data from stream.
<HTTP error 502 Bad Gateway
<skipping unplayable item
<Error creating demuxer
<Error, could not open file http://..
<failed to open source <http://
<FillBuffer - Reconnect, (re)try 1
<ailed: HTTP response code said error(22)
<ERROR: Failed to fetch checksum
<Failed: Timeout was reached(28)
Youtube should stream fine.

Yep. Most likely the issue is not on the user-side. Bootleg/pirated add-ons are typically hosted on file locker servers that are not designed to handle people using them as a video service, and speeds fluctuate on that server side.
