Unable to download playable item over upnp

When browsing files shared by XBMC using UPnP, it shows in the list with correct size and I can click on it to start play the item. However, when I click the "download arrow" on the right, I get a popup stating "Fileformat not supported" "The fileformat which http://192.168.1.101:1410/%25/somemagiclongrandomstring/foobar.bin uses is not supported by this version of VLC for iOS" (Note the popup is translated so it might not be the exact wording.

If I capture the traffic I can see that the file has a protocolInfo="http-get::video/bin:" in the ContentDirectory:1 BrowseResponse.

Since it is possible to play the file, I would expect downloading to work. Perhaps change it to just a warning "It might not be possible to playback the item once downloaded, are you sure you want to download it anyway?

XBMC Media Center 13.0-BETA2 Git:a1cab7a VLC for iOS 2.2.2

Thanks.
