If it takes longer than 10 seconds to download one segment, XBMC can't play the stream continously and buffers.
The website usually doesn't suffer from buffering issues because it uses a different protocol (HDS instead of HLS) and likely different servers. The official Gamecenter apps are only marginally better than this addon because they rely on the same streams as the addon.
XBMC can't change the stream quality on the fly. The addon will support quality changes on the fly without code changes when XBMC will support it in future.
Cool, thanks, much appreciated.
