[TVPlay] Stream is 0 bytes and RTMPDump fails

[clb92]

I was trying to download an episode of Robinson Ekspeditionen from tv3play.dk. Some episodes fail (like this one), while others download just fine. The broken episodes play just fine on the website.

To reproduce the error, you may have to use a VPN to spoof that you're in Denmark.

Here's the verbose output:

Here's the verbose result of a successful download of one of the other episodes:

Same problem here, on older tv6play shows.
