Sorry about the confusion.
I meant to ask you for a true streaming link, not for downloading. A downloaded .ts file should never be an issue.
What I saw from your log is that MC crashed while trying to play a "true streaming" video - a video file that is streamed from a server, and the server does not provide the file length and probably does not allow clients requesting different segments of the file. Your Linux box probably did such streaming.
.m3u issue is likely a separate issue. I will check that out.
It doesn't crash now, but will still not play. Either stuck on "opening..." or I'll get the message below (RO standard). Similar with ROHQ ("something went wrong with playback" with no details).
For what it's worth, please provide another log that shows the file not playing.
