Note that I'm using a workaround though: call the API to play and then call API to pause video. The goal is to have the video buffered when user will play it (a few minutes later). The video is always shown to user even if paused, according to TOS. In > 99% of the cases the video will actually be played, so this won't cause unnecessary traffic. Hope it's ok.

Hello Marius,
That's not likely to happen. Sorry. Controlling when buffering starts
isn't not normally something we let developers directly influence via
the API.
