Custom URL does not play.

The Custom URL feature has ceased to work.

It worked fine in 6.x-1.18 with the custom video path set to sites/default/files/uploads/common/downloads/example.flv (Forgive my tortuous file structure.)

Looking at the Net trace in Firebug this fetches http://www.letchwortharts.org/sites/default/files/uploads/common/downloa... directly and happily runs the video.

In 6.x-1.25 the same path is instead translated to http://freevideocoding.com/sites/default/files/uploads/common/downloads/... which of course does not exist.

The source of the page is being rendered as:

in v1.18: src="http://freevideocoding.com/flvplayer.swf?file=http://www.letchwortharts...."

in later versions: src="http://freevideocoding.com/flvplayer.swf?file=sites/default/files/upload..."

This effect occurs whether the original URL entered in the page is "sites/default/files/...", or "/sites/default/files/...", or "http://mysite.com/sites/default/files/...", so somewhere the processing of this has gone wrong after v1.18.

The same effect occurs in Embedded Media Field 2.4, plus Media: Video Flotsam 1.2.
