Comment:

 Youtube is rate limiting download speed, and the video has parts which
 have a larger bitrate then the rate limit. So it won't work with other
 players either. Even happens on chrome after roughly 1:10. Wget also can't
 get a faster download speed after the initial "burst".

 You may use -infbuf with ffplay to make it buffer as much data as
 possible, but you will still run out of data eventually.
