When I try to view movies from Cinemassacre with OnlineVideos 0.24 in MP 1.1 final, the movie briefly starts and then pauses immediately. Sometimes MediaPortal simply 'hangs' after this and needs to be killed. No error gets written to any log. The log simply states that after MediaPortal is killed, the stream is stopped.
I also can't get the same stream to work in Windows Media Player 12 (Windows 7) either. WMP pauses immediately after opening and when 'play' is used, it only plays a very small part before pausing again. I also tried Media Player Classic. It plays the stream fine, even when all internal source and transform filters are disabled. MPC states for a long time that it's buffering at 0% before it goes to 1% (even while the movie is playing), which makes me believe that there is something wrong with some HTTP metadata the webserver is sending. Microsoft's HTTP filter doesn't like this, while the one in Media Player Classic just ignores it.
This is an example of a stream which has these problems (comes from Cinemassacre in OnlineVideos):

Am I the only one with this problem? Does anybody know a fix or workaround for this?
