Just as an FYI:

According to the docs that attribute was added recently (in Qt 5.6),
and Qt 5.6 is beyond the "minimum supported Qt version" MythTV
supports (which is Qt 5.2).  Adding a requirement to move forward
in the Qt version would have to be negotiated with the devs.
Otherwise, you likely have to implement your own redirection code.

I believe MythDownloadManager supports following redirects,
and moving to the MythTV abstraction might be viable, although
perhaps a larger effort.
