About this bit.
Can you play youtube videos without using that download-helper-plugin?
Or is your connection too slow to be able to watch directly without
downloading first?
As an alternative to using the download-helper-plugin, you could try the
following:
$ eix youtube-dl
* net-misc/youtube-dl
Available versions: ~2009.05.23[1] 2010.01.19[1] 2010.10.03 ~2010.10.24
~2010.11.19 2010.12.09 ~2011.01.30
Homepage: http://rg3.github.com/youtube-dl/
Description: A small command-line program to download videos from
YouTube.
Hope this helps,

My DSL is just a hair to slow unless it is a low res video. I get about
768Kb down and I swear they make it so it will stop just enough to annoy
the crap out of a person so you will upgrade to a faster package. o_O
Grrrrrr. Anyway, I just download it first then play it with smplayer.
No stopping and all that then. If I don't like it, dump and move on.
I did find that tool once but I'm not real sure how it works. I sort of
browsed around the pages a bit but just fell back to the plugin. May
end up using it tho.
I will try just watching it in a bit and see if it crashes. I can start
it then hit pause and resume after it gets a real good start. That
could lead to something. ;-)
Thanks.
