Login issues AGAIN. Had to re login a couple of days ago (had to uninstall the addon and delete settings etc to get it to login)
Today I am getting bad username and password.
Edit: youtube servers have crashed, not a plugin issue this time surprisingly enough.

I apologize if this has been answered in the forum already, I've done about 20 minutes of searching with no luck. I have a slow DSL connection so when I watch YouTube videos they often get stuck buffering every 5 seconds of playtime. Is there a way to alter/lengthen the amount this plugin buffers before it starts playing the video? I realize I could, instead, download the video, then play it; however, I use XBMC Commander to search for and play (streaming) the videos without using the XBMC interface.
Thanks to everyone in advance!!

Hey Henrik, wanted to mention something that may or may not have relevance to tvadakia's issue.
A while ago, we talked about channels with annotations and how that was not currently possible. You suggested that I add them as contacts and thereby gain access to their uploads, playlists etc. I have been doing that.
Recently I've also started using a relatively new add on by aj called filmi by nature which streams bollywood content. As it happens, lot of bollywood content is on youtube and therefore, aj has added the function of adding youtube channels on his add on. As an experiment I've streamed videos through this youtube add on as well as aj's. What I've found is that when playing the same video (same quality) through aj's, it takes a little longer to load but after that, there is less buffering through latter part of the stream. The seeking is also better. I was surprised that there was a difference. I then tried a few other videos with the same result. I don't know the reason for this, although the initial delay in the stream for me points to caching. As you have mentioned, this is not adjustable through xbmc.
I try different avenues sometimes because, my isp connection speeds are also quite ordinary, hence the experimentations. I am running this on atv2 ver 4.1 dharma 10.7 and have not tried it on another platform.
