MPEG-DASH: Cannot play the DASH Industry Forum's samples

[liquidblueocean]

Summary of the bug:
The DASH Industry Forum, the group made up of all the big companies pushing and defining MPEG-DASH, have plenty of test streams at ​http://dashif.org/test-vectors but ffplay cannot play any of them. Not even the simplest one.
How to reproduce:

Patches should be submitted to the ffmpeg-devel mailing list and not this bug tracker.

Any chance MPD files will be supported?
