It sounds like the stream is not plain MPEG-4 but because ffmpeg can
handle different formats - it is "accidentally" working using playMP4 as

What is the URL of the stream being played ?

Use logging player.source to INFO to show the command line being used
and the URL attentped to be played so I can checkl.
