  I think browsers usually don't have configurable buffer sizes for streaming. If you can get the video URL out of the browser, you could stream with [mpv](http://mpv.io/) or something.
  
  ```
  mpv --cache-secs=15 http://example.org/video.mp4
  
  ```
  
  mpv has several other cache-tuning options.
