Ok this is solved for me at least. Your web proxy must support bytes ranges,. If you are using squid and are only allowing certain HTTP headers through to increase privacy, then you need to make sure the following 2 lines are in your squid conf: header_access If-Range allow all header_access Range allow all Once these are in everything starts working again! or at least it did for me.
