This is due to a new security lockdown in IE11.

To make IE load 127.0.0.1 then you need to switch off the "Enable
Enhanced Protected mode" setting in IE.

See http://stackoverflow.com/questions/17415111/127-0-0-1-will-not-work-in-ie-11

However, I wouldn't recommend doing so as that has other security implications.

A better solution is to load http://localhost:1935/ instead - this
works fine in IE.

I'm about to leave for work so don't have time right now to fix the
PVR script - I'll do it later if someone doesn't beat me to it :)
