A quick Google search on the topic gave me this...first of many results:
The problem is that many different sites use different methods of video streaming. Some even use HTTP to do it. It will be very difficult if not impossible to implement this for all sites.
You may have better luck implementing bandwidth restrictions per ip address. It's possible if you use a Cisco router/firewall. Basically, you'd use access lists similar to this:
access-list 101 permit ip any 10.10.10.7 255.255.255.255
class-map match-any RESTRICTED description This Server Info match access-group 101
policy-map BANDWIDTH-RESTRICTED class RESTRICTED police 1000000 10000 exceed-action drop
int f0 service-policy output BANDWIDTH-RESTRICTED
You'd have to create one for each ip (the ips can be dhcp or static) and you'd modify the bandwidth allowed and interface applied to as necessary.
I 'm sure there are other possible solutions if you keep looking.
