Then you may need to install something that can transcode and stream video on the fly. FTP was not designed as a streaming protocol and only works well on local networks. The only way it will work in your situation is to download the movie completely to /tmp and play it locally.

TVersity and subsonic can transcode and stream content remotely. They wont link to your XBMC library though.
