I've looked into playback and to me it seems unchanged, the url's that plugin provides are the same as our plugin (Looked through the code and there's no black magic). Just to make sure I tested one of the problematic subscriptions i have, and got the same buffering issues as usual (testing 720p), I did notice the plugin seems to go for highest quality available so if you've been streaming 1080p you might have had a better experience since YouTube doesn't throttle those streams (this would also explain the slightly longer buffering time in the beginning of the video).
