Google Video pre-stream?
Has anyone else noticed that Google Video changed their player in the last 16 hours to start buffering a video when the page loads?
I noticed that a lot of links wouldn't load yesterday (including the Google documentary I finally posted last night). When searching for any duplicates to it today, I noticed some Sifts with 'This video is currently not available. Please try again later' instead of an initial preview. Now I'm looking through the queue, my bandwidth takes a hit as it loads all the videos (at least it doesn't play them!)
Is this a local problem with me, or have they really changed the player to pre-stream?
