.m4v video plays locally, but not as online RSS source

Hi,

I'm trying to add the following RSS video feed to my Online Sources:

http://feeds.feedburner.com/GlobalNationalVideoPodcast

The files show up on my player, but if I try to play one of them my player will hang for a while on loading it and finally displays a "cannot communicate with server" error. I have been able to play files from other RSS video feeds fine, so I think the difference is that this particular online source has its files in .m4v format. If I download one of the files from the link above and add it to my local library, it streams to my player just fine.

Video file info:

Can you try it using the Bravia 2012 profile?

Re: .m4v video plays locally, but not as online RSS source

After I switched to the Bravia 2012 profile the video started playing, but it kept freezing for up to 10 seconds every few seconds. Strangely, after I switch back to the Sony BDP-Sx70 the video still plays, but with the same freezing problem. I don't think this is a problem with my download speed since other .mp4 videos with similar bit rates play fine as an online source.

Any more ideas? Thanks!
