1) I selected "always cache for playback" and "never transcode" in the Video settings and in the Cache settings set it as 25% (tried smaller & larger amounts), but when playing back video (just clicking on the file) it doesn't appear to be using the cache. I'm still getting buffer caching issues every 3-5 minutes and when looking at the playback bar, the buffer isn't very far (the 0.4 version paused longer at the beginning of playback and you could tell it was caching based on the size in the settings).

2) When clicking the menu on a video for playback options, which option would playback the original file using the cache buffer (without downloading the whole file)? Play original looks to be downloading the whole file (filename.original). Play from cache doesn't playback anything unless there is already something in the cache (from the play original or download).

I'll have a look.

The "play from cache" is really "play from offline copy" -- naming is confusing with caching, so I'll change it. I want to get to the point where I can watch offline content within the plugin without actually going online

I'll double checking the caching. I think I'll go back with a popup when it is pre-caching and put it into the background progress only when it is downloading, so it is clearer to end user that playback is pending initial caching.
