Default Stating a movie when network connection is off

I was always thinking, that starting a movie when my network is down (either internet connection or local LAN) freezes BSPlayer...

However now I found out, that the BSPlayer is not frozen, but there is actually a 90 seconds timeout of some sort (obviously it is trying to connect to some external server, dunno why & don't like any secret connection from my system) -> no other application does that (tried with Windows Media Player 6.4, DivX Player 2.5, Quicktime 6).

It could be related to codecs (I have DivX Pro 5.1 adware version), but then BSPlayer would have to use the codecs in different way that the abovementioned appz... (it does however, as some settings are not used under BSPlayer or other appz).

Even if it is not a bug, I would like BSPlayer to not connect anywhere unless I approve (I could at least cancel the connection instead of waiting for annoying timeout)

Regards,
choock
