There is no problem with playing single segments:

this error is case when using local ipfs node at localhost:8080. I think problem is with returned redirects - local ipfs node will send back redirect to url like

http://bafyjvzacdkmdv5iy5ldtibqc6yesvwg3cqmfpdo4clwfrpbc7xdq.ipfs.localhost:8080 (cid in url request format) and it will fail when http code will try to resolve host name bafyjvzacdkmdv5iy5ldtibqc6yesvwg3cqmfpdo4clwfrpbc7xdq.ipfs.localhost

Correct handling is to send all requests to localhost:8080, do not attempt to resolve localhost subdomain and add Host: header or maybe send full url like to proxy server.
