dragonplayer uses Phonon to play media files and Phonon has a known issues of
not working correctly with KIO. See
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=257903. A ticket you should already be
familiar with. 

But then again without knowing or understanding how KIO works you simply want
to blame it. How is KIO at fault when none of the Phonon backends actually use
it natively? Which one of those backends use KIO? That means Phonon essentially
does not use KIO. So how is KIO supposed to provide streaming in that case? I
personally am not going to get into the gvfs vs kio debate. It has been
rehashed to death. Feel free to search online

Until such time that Phonon decides to support streaming over KIO, what you are
trying to do with it will never work and there is not one thing KIO can do
about it. There is already a standing ticket in the correct location.
