I mean, when I want to watch TV or Movies, I load it into my torrent program 🏴‍☠️ and let it download in the background. I could do the same with youtube videos.

Yeah, I download whatever I want to watch and fire up vlc. 0 ads, 0 buffering.

Technically that's 100% buffering.

Technically VLC buffers 1.5 seconds by default which actually broke streaming over SSHFS (phone's filesystem mounted via KDE Connect) for me, had to increase buffer to 10 secs
