Lightbox Ultimate – Embeded videos continue to download after closing lightbox

I have multiple videos on my page (i’m serving up protected files on amazon S3), some of which are quite long. Mimicking behavior of my typical website visitor, after playing 1 video half-way through, I go on to another video and I notice there is a noticeable delay in starting the 2nd video. Having a short attention span I move on to a 3rd video and it starts even slower.

After doing some basic troubleshooting, it looks like WP Lightbox Ultimate does not stop the download after the lightbox is closed. By the time I get to the 3rd video, the webpage is streaming 3 concurrent videos maxing out my download speed. I would like the player to stop downloading the video when the lightbox is closed to reduce the S3 bandwidth I’m paying for and to enhance the viewer experience. I noticed on your demo page (http://www.tipsandtricks-hq.com/wp-affiliate-link-manager/wp-lightbox-ultimate-demo-73) that the only implementations that do not stop the download upon closing the lightbox involve the Flowplayer. Can you help me with this?

Thank you!
