roVideoPlayer and roVideoScreen timeout issues on 7.5 firmeware

I don't have an example channel ready, but we are running into an issue with these two players using the 7.5 firmware. It seems the players will only wait 5 seconds to receive data. This is definitely too low in some cases. I'm trying to find a box running 7.2 or 6.2 firmware to confirm, but I'd like to get this thread started to hopefully get some traction on this. Basically if a media url takes more than 5 seconds to respond, the player will timeout and send an `isRequestFailed` message.

Roku: I'd expect even if this is a bug, it will take a while to get fixed in a firmware update, especially with the holiday season closing in. In the mean time, is there any way to control this short timeout and extend it video some hidden or undocumented method?
