My first test on trying to figure this out is as follows:
New 1.0.7 client against 1.2.0-rc1 server. I uploaded Big Buck Bunny 720p video (312MB) and created a layout with two regions. The first region has the video, duration 0. The second region has some text in it duration 20 seconds.
When I start the client, the client correctly holds at the splash screen while the file downloads. Once the file is downloaded the layout began playing correctly.
So it looks like Bartek's test is more accurate - are we actually seeing a bug where downloads are dropped part way through causing problems? I'll try Barktek's test next, but I can't make the client try and play a layout without the media assuming the download goes OK - which was the original complaint in this bug report.
