Description
I would like to load a Youtube playlist and buffer them before they start playing. For example if I load a playlist with 5 videos and I'm still on the first video which has fully buffered I would then like it for mpv to start buffering video 2 then video 3 etc. so I don't have to wait for it to download only once start to play video 2. Is it currently possible to do this? If not, is it possible to add a way to do this?
