That error suggests the response is getting altered or corrupted in some way.  You have any sort of software that might be doing that?

Not that i know of.  The only thing that I'm doing "Weird" is running in hyper-v, and the router is just running dd-wrt, doing nothing special with outgoing connections.  I run a revser proxy for emby for outside the network, but that shouldn't be interfering with out going connections.  I've tried restarting the compute running emby but dones't make any difference.  Emby is running on Windows 10 pro 1709,  The only thing installed on it is Firefox, notepad++ and vlc.  It directly connected to the host network, not nated by hyper-v

For some reason it just started working.
