Before I wrote how to use mplayer to play youtube videos. Which worked great for me for a long time. But for some reason or another it does not play nice with me anymore. Sometimes it breaks on buffering and sometimes it just stops playing midstream.
I decided to uninstall gecko-mediplayer and replace it with totem-plugin. And now everything works great again. The reason I did not use totem-plugin before was because it pulls in a ton of dependencies that I do not use.
Verdict as of now
totem-plugin > gecko-mediaplayer
