Description of your issue, suggested solution and other information

Okay, now here's the thing: CBS needs to know that we are in the United States to get access to their video content. So when you are not in US, you can use a proxy in youtube-dl. That's all nice, but when passing the OnceURL link to ffmpeg it seems to pass it with the proxy even though the actual video content (and with 1hour-video that can be a lot of data) it isn't neccesary to use a proxy. Fetching content via proxy can be slow and annoying if ffmpeg doesn't catch all parts.

Basicly any video URL with real content from CBS, for example: http://www.cbs.com/shows/zoo/video/D33076BF-B427-6A87-EC52-A26D3E01F3E1/zoo-collision-point/
