1939 RCA Early Introduction to TV

The trick with Youtube to minimize or eliminate streaming interruptions, is to start then quickly pause the video. It will buffer all the way to its end on your computer. Then, resume watching it. You can typically see a three-colored stripe below the video. The brightest color is how far you watched, the medium is how far it has buffered into your computer (you want this one to go all the way to the right), and the darkest color is the unwatched and unbuffered area.

YouTube used to work that way but now if you pause the video they pause the buffer also, they only buffer a certain percentage, probably to save bandwidth on videos that you may not watch all the way through anyhow.

At least that's how it's working for me, maybe something is set wrong?
