Error when playing *some* videos through MU premium account (works fine when not using an account)

[GoogleCodeExporter]

System: ATV1 + xbmc 10.1 + Icefilms 1.0.16

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Enter a valid MU premium account into icefilms configuration
2. Attempt to watch a movie
3. Icefilms reports on screen a) loading video with your megaupload *premium* 
account and then b) busy - please wait. No error message appears on screen. The 
busy - please wait disappears after around 20 seconds and the video does not 
start.

I have attached 2 xbmc.log files:

- The error_premium log shows what happens with a MU premium account. You can 
see that the correct full avi link is resolved but for some reason the xbmc 
player does not play it, reporting "WARNING: could not find codec parameters".

- The success_normal log shows a successful play of the same video using no MU 
account.

Very strange that it fails. If I copy the full URL, paste it into my browser a 
couple of seconds after it fails with my premium account, my browser can 
successfully get to the file.

I have also noticed that, on Win XP, when using the Premium MU account, speed 
on a single MU download connection is ~150kB/s.

Using a free account the download speed is 350-500kB/s.
I guess the catch is that with the premium account you can use multiple 
connections resulting in higher download speeds. I got 1MB/s (my ISP limit 
reached) by using 8 download connections in JDownloader.

Is the icefilm add-on using only one connection? If so, this connection might 
get less speed than the actual free account (which supports only one connection 
and therefore this one connection is a bit faster).

I am guessing that the problems reported in this issue is related to the speed 
limitation per connection for premium MU account. Maybe it's not getting enough 
data about the requested video file in the allocated time (maybe the header is 
not completely loaded - this would explain the codec params error I guess).

yep this an odd one, i've tried hacking tn script to nforce a 10 secod delay, 
but no dice.  Premium account on e.g the social netwok 720p will not play, free 
sccount will.
