Linked url doesn't play because it contains a single redirect (to a rtsp stream) but our player manages redirects only if multiple locations are available.
The redirect fails because of the security origin check...
Created attachment 48472 [details] Removed the origin check
Removing security origin checks seems like a bad thing.

I found one example where the redirect is done to a totally different server. http://stream.qtv.apple.com/events/jan/1001q3f8hhr/1001908r5ft6dswz_1_350_ref.mov redirects to: rtsp://a2047.v1412b.c1412.g.vq.akamaistream.net/5/2047/1412/1_h264_350/1a1a1ae555c531960166df4dbc3095c327960d7be756b71b49aa1576e344addb3ead1a497aaedf11/1001908r5ft6dswz_1_350.mov
(In reply to comment #3) > Removing security origin checks seems like a bad thing. I agree that removing the security origin check is a bad idea. On OSX and Windows we configure QuickTime to never follow cross-site redirects, which is why the media element fails to open the linked url in these ports.
