Thanks for reopening the bug too :)

the issue?

Yes there is, but at the moment I only have YouTube videos, as I forgot
where I previously watched HD content outside of YT. If those are not
satisfactory, I could host them on my webspace, but it's too slow to stream
those videos (just ~150kBps download)
So for the YouTube videos that I've tried now:

- Loads slowly and stops constantly to catch up, hence the buffering
messages.

- Works fine for a few seconds, then stops and after a few seconds the
stream gets dropped.

- Just like above.

Here are also some videos that I uploaded and encoded, they all have 10FPS
and apparently VLC's HTTP streamer can keep up with it:

It still shows this in the log though:
