actually, you do raise a very good point. The playback has been super buggy for me the last six months or so. Often times beyond usable. It seems the only way to get it actually play is using watching the embedded video. I do it so much out of habit anymore that I often don't notice.

I do actually have that installed (or at least something like it) I actually use it a fair bit for things I want to watch but don't want to listen too. Somewhere between comcast and youtube I find it nearly impossible to stream 1080p quality videos. I feel like youtube doesn't buffer like it used to.
