Playback pauses very frequently for several seconds, as if the video is rebuffered every 10-30
seconds. Same on a mac and at very different times (European night and morning), so I guess
it's a server-side problem?

The server hosting the videos appears to be either quite slow, or overloaded. The video of the
panel of kernel hackers is 463MB and it downloads at 50kB/s, so if you were to actually watch
it in the browser you'd probably have to sit there for 3-4 hours.

It mostly works. Let it buffer a bit (say, 5-10 minutes) then it should be ok. What sucks much
more, and this has also been the case with past LF videos, is that the sound level is extremly
low.
