Media files
http://feeds.pbs.org/~r/pbs/wgbh/nova-video/~5/2D0HMNc3GUg/nsn_v_segment_alienearths.m4v

the player will cache all the way to 100% but never play the video
some the files do play, some do not.
when checking the properties, i saw a few differences in frame rate and size between the ones that play and the ones that wont play.
mplayer will play it off the site.

 mplayer http://feeds.pbs.org/~r/pbs/wgbh/nova-video/~5/2D0HMNc3GUg/nsn_v_segment_alienearths.m4v

thanks very much, it does play now.
but it must fully cache before it will start playing instead of caching a little and playing.
