[Feature] Uncap Buffer

[zkisaboss]

Is it possible to have youtube to continuously buffer the video? If not close this issue, I just think it's a cool idea.

All the methods I know come down to background emulation of player.seek

The operating principle is as stupid as possible. If the video is paused and the buffer has reached the limit, but seek emulation starts. That is, it only works during pause. and I'm not sure that the scripts take into account the length of the video and the available browser buffer size. Especially on a multi-hour stream. I've always found options like this amusing. A huge red button with the inscription "Make everything cool".

for test added Video preload buffer plugin

I'm loving this test version. I tried the preload buffer and it's kinda buggy, but it seems to work better than the other resources you shared, most of which are outdated.
