Apple trailers fail to play
Apple trailers are unable to play since 20/08/09 due to Apple now restricting access to Quicktime players only. For details see http://www.hd-trailers.net/blog/2009/08/20/direct-download-links-from-apple-are-not-working/
We can no longer simply redirect our players to the trailer URL and must instead identify ourselves as Quicktime and forward the stream manually.

(In revision:1309) Remote files are now requested and streamed by SwissCenter, instead of simply re-directing the player to the URL. This gives us more control on how the stream is requested.
- Script allows setting the User-Agent and follows redirections if required.
- YouTube videos updated to use new script.
- Apple trailers updated to use new script using Quicktime as User-Agent.
- Trailers played from the video_selected page also use Quicktime as User-Agent.
