To those whom are having this problem, not sure exactly what is the cause but disabling DASH as stated by GameSky seems to have a positive outcome

DASH = Dynamic Streaming Over HTTP.
It's supposed to give u just enough data flow to avoid any buffering.
Only just enough not to buffer, and also to save server or route bandwidth.

But it appears this feature doesnt operate as it should, causing the stream to be slow, and in the end buffers. If i not mistaken this feature is devoloped by Adobe and it's partners.

I'm using chrome and there's a way to turn it off.

Use this plugin, open up Extensions page, enter the settings page of Youtube Options.
Under Playback section, there is an option to disable DASH.

Do note that this software is a customization software, it will center your youtube video and make the page as minimal as possible. You can turn it off. You can also set many settings such as hardware acceleration, force HTML5, set it to load HD or any quality of your choice, force HTTPS etc...

Also, do note that if youtube changes their site code and settings, it may break certain functions of youtube when you use this plugin. A simple turning off from the Extensions page will do. Have been using this for nearly a year, the developer is responsible n quick, the fixes usually come within a day or 2.

As for the problem from my experience, it is due to DASH not behaving as it should. Turning it off solved the problem without the need to refresh the page. Not sure if TM's setting causing DASH to fail or DASH causing TM to fail....
