Also, the video cache doesn't appear to be working well in the latest beta 0.5.12 (getting lots of buffering pauses - the older plugin worked fine). The settings are slightly different, but even if I increase the buffer a lot, it doesn't appear to be buffering ahead.

For the video cache issue, are you selecting a stream or original, or are you "download" and "play from cache"?

I was using "original" and tried increasing the cache buffer to download like 10%, but I guess using original doesn't use the buffer (even when I pause the video, the buffer doesn't move forward). I like how the 0.4.8 version worked with the memoryCacheVideo option (having the ability to buffer 10% and play back in the original format).

I did not see a download and play from cache option in the main configuration menu. The only way to pull that up is to pull up the menu while selecting the video and then selecting that option vs. having a default way to play the original with a buffer. Let me try the download and play from cache option tonight again to see. But if we could set that as the default, maybe that would be good. Thanks.

Yes, the download+cache was removed as an ability to set as the default. I'll add in some option to allow you to default to it in another fix release tonight (0.5.14). Let me know if there are any other issues you run into. I'm pushing to get a 0.6.0 release (before Sunday) that ends the need to use 0.4.x. I've probably spent 40 hours this week trying to get everything polished and tested. There are some features like subtitles that I have included but disabled from activating until I can get around to testing those. Those probably won't be activated until a 0.6.1.

BTW, I'm trying to simply things as much as possible. That is why I dropped the terms disk, memory, stream, etc from playback types. The goal is to present all the playback types to the user when they play a video and also allow them to right click on a video and force playback using a specific type.
