There is the youtube jsapi that you can use to access the current play time
via javascript, and also make the player that's already playing jump to a
certain time (or load up at a certain time via flashvars). The way to
access these properties/functions is tricky since you must use unsafe window
to do it. http://code.google.com/apis/youtube/js_api_reference.html
//in GM userscript
document.getElementById('movie_player").wrappedJSObject.getCurrentTime();
I think you will experience greater trouble accessing when your internet
connection goes down and goes back up again and what type of connection it
is, unless you were developing an extension instead of a userscript. It
seems like you would need some sort of dll or pre-existing extension to help
you detect such state changes as Mobil broadband or cable unplugged unless
you were to constantly run some sort of bandwidth test which is not a good
solution.
It would be easier to detect if the player is lagging and to change
automatically, since there is a flashvar to jump to a certain second when
the player loads, and you can tell when the player isn't paused or stopped
but the progress reported isn't advancing at an acceptable rate. I like the
idea.... although it won't help as far as increasing the quality when you
move to a better connection.
