Follow HTTP redirects once to a stable URL before handing the file to mpv, so the player loads the resolved address.

Problem
When using third party addons Stremio passes the full addon URL but most of the time it's a redirect.
This means that on every seek or new segment fetch it goes through the original URL, adding latency and straining the addon server. If the addon server goes down mid-playback, it'll buffer even though the final server is perfectly fine.
