1) Please do not toppost
2) Snip what you don't need quoted

That is all the reason I just watch things either later or directly on
youtube, where I can go forward and back.

Also you will not always need to watch the highest quality.

So the problem is that mplayer closes when the bits run out of a file.
Somehow you do not want it to close . But obviously only when more bits
will be coming in some unforseen future.

This is possible, but not with mplayer. Just use the websites player and
play it there.
