The closest thing to a video stream in those logs seems to be:

cache.log:

If we assume that the HTTPS request was a video fetch from YouTube, then
it was a succesful tunnel as far as Squid is concerned. It had 4.4KB
sent in 31 seconds. Which does seem a bit odd for a video, but could be
if its broken internally.

The rest of what Eliezer pointed out is relevant to further debugging
non your part...
