Hi, i use the youtube plugin extensively and had a couple of questions/issues:
- Buffer size: how does the plugin buffer? is there some way to increase this? does it just buffer the next say 10 seconds, or does it start plyaing and then continues to load rest of the video depending on your internet connection? i have a really fast cable connection, the site gives me no problems, but I find sometimes i get pauses when playing via this plugin. I've also noticed sometimes the video just completely pauses, and wont start playing no matter what i do how long i wait for it.
- large forward/small forward: somewhat related to above, I've noticed the first time i do a short/longjump in video, the video moves forward, but successive jumps take a while to load, especially on a long jump it will take up to 20-30 seconds to jump forward, and sometimes just stops. is it because the video isn't fully buffered, or some other issue?
I'm not sure if this is an xbmc issue, or a plugin issue but would be great if you could address this.

hi all,
following up from my post a while back I am still having trouble getting this plugin to show anything. It lets me browse fine and shows current content but when I click on a vid nothing happens. The following seems to be in the event log when I am clicking, any ideas what I may be doing wrong?

As a side note it used to work fine (not sure if there was an update between working and not working) and I have no issue with other plugins such as BBC or IMDB Trailers etc.

If I select a download folder, next time I play a video, will it stream it from the downloaded location or will it stream it again from the net ?
The kids play the same video over and over, I am trying to find an easy way to save the bandwith.
