NSMovieView: RTSP streams won't buffer?

Hey all!
I've discovered an aspect of NSMovieView that has me stumped:

I made a simple program. it loads a movie from an URL. three lines. Can't mess it up too much can I? ;)
Well, the program works fine with downloadble files like mp3s and such, but I can't get it to work with streaming media via rtsp!
here's the code with a sample URL (myMovie and myMovieView are declared in the .h file) :

- (void) awakeFromNib
{
myMovie = [[NSMovie alloc] initWithURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"rtsp://qt3.bopjet.net/yml/20724s.mov";] byReference:NO];
[myMovieView setMovie: myMovie];
[myMovieView showController:YES adjustingSize:NO];
}

What happens is this: I click the start button in the movie's controller, and buffering will take place only as long as I hold the button down. if I let go, the download stops and the movie doesn't play. If I hold it for the entire buffering process, then the stream plays.

The same thing occurs if I would place [myMovieView start:self] ; in an IBAction associated with a button.
On the other hand, if the previous line is _in_ the awakeFromNib code, the app bounces in the dock while the stream buffers, and then everything plays fine...

I Googled and mamasammed and couldn't find anything relating to this particular problem... Is it something I'm doing wrong? or is it a bug with the AppKit wrappers for Quicktime? or what?

Can any one point me to a solution?

Thank you very much!!

ML
