That should be possible. Currently, the application enables 'any' access point, which I assume will be a WiFi connection if available. I think I can obtain the list of available access points using DBus, and provide an option in the settings to select your preferred default connection. cuteTube can then attempt to connect to that access point on start-up.

Switching connection before playback/download would lead to performance issues IMO, because you would need to wait for the switch before even beginning to pass the stream to the media player.
