The playback controls (play, pause, etc) hide when data is being streamed over the internet. Ideally the UI elements should be asynchronous to network read and writes but it seems it isnt. As a result if you accidentally click play on a video having low seeds or slow internet, you cant actually pause or do anything else other than be at the mercy of the network to time yourself at the perfect moment for the video to start playing and activate the UI element so that you can hit stop.
