The problem is that network.c (that handles http streams) forces
DEMUXER_TYPE_MPEG_PS in case of Content-type: video/mpeg.
PS and TS demuxers are smart enough to correctly recognize
mpeg files, so they can be autoprobed.
The attached patch should solve your problems, at least in the case of TS.
Please, let me know if it works.
