Works here, are you sure it is not filling the cache? Here it takes about 5-10 
seconds for the cache to fill using the default video cache of 2048

please enable verbose debug messages in gnome-mplayer (Edit->preferences). 
Close all instances of firefox and then run this command from a terminal

firefox http://theyoungturks.com

That should tell us what is happening.

Hum... try disabling Advanced Substation Alpha (ASS) subtitles in gnome-mplayer 
Edit->Preferences, Subtitles

That is the only thing that looks like it could be the problem. If that fixes 
the problem, you might suggest to your mplayer packager to enable that feature 
as it does improve subtitles quite a bit.

No, it crashed:

MPlayer interrupted by signal 11 in module: decode_video
ID_SIGNAL=11
- MPlayer crashed by bad usage of CPU/FPU/RAM.
  Recompile MPlayer with --enable-debug and make a 'gdb' backtrace and
  disassembly. Details in DOCS/HTML/en/bugreports_what.html#bugreports_crash.
- MPlayer crashed. This shouldn't happen.
  It can be a bug in the MPlayer code _or_ in your drivers _or_ in your
  gcc version. If you think it's MPlayer's fault, please read
  DOCS/HTML/en/bugreports.html and follow the instructions there. We can't and
  won't help unless you provide this information when reporting a possible bug.

well that points to mplayer being the problem... that command should work fine.

Ok, I'll file a bug report with them then.

you might try specifying the video output in gnome-mplayer to be xv or vdpau, 
that may help some.
