GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 571709
totem youtube-plugin re-buffers song every time when it _starts_ to play (not earlier)

Repro steps: 1. open the sidebar in totem and change the drop down combobox to "youtube" (you need the youtube-plugin plug installed of course) 2. find some song, right click it and select "add to playlist" 3. select "edit::repeat mode" and play the song 4. wait until the song finishes playing Expected: Once song is finished it should start playing again. Actual: youtube plugin re-buffers the song which takes like 15-25 seconds on slow connections (meaning there is a looong silent break between songs). (It would be nice if totem started buffering the next track before the previous one finished so that it's ready to start playing when the song switch happens. Of course this would be nice to have all the time in the youtube-plugin, not just for playing songs in repeat mode). Other information:
That'll come with the port to playbin2. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 542663 ***
