Recently YouTube seems to have made some changes to the way it's video player works. The videos don't seem to buffer completly. The parts that are playing and the parts that are close to it say +-10secs or something.

Now, I used to be able to retrieve the entire video after it had buffered via the appropriate File Descriptor. I can't anymore. This method also never worked in Incognito/Private Browsing. Can someone tell me what is happening? I.e. how Firefox/Chromium can play it after pressing the repeat button without re-downloading/buffering.
