System Information
Windows 10, Nvidia 1060

Blender Version
Broken:
Current 2.80 master and yesterday's nightly build.

Short description of error
Animated movie file textures don't work. Saving and loading the .blend causes it to start working.

Initially reported by a user in: https://blenderartists.org/t/movie-texture-animations-now-possible/1147808 and I reproduced it here.

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error

Start 2.80 with the default scene.
Split the 3d view in half, set one half to the Shader Editor.
Add an Image Texture node. Connect the color output to the base color of the Principled Shader node.
Open a movie file (I tested with: he first one from https://sample-videos.com/)
In the node properties for the Image Texture in the shader editor, press the [Match Movie Length] button and check the Auto Refresh box.
Switch the 3dview to Rendered mode.
Press play on the timeline. The texture does not animate. If you position the play head to somewhere in the frame range of the movie and then change the image node properties (toggle the Cycle checkbox etc.) then the texture will update to that frame, but still will not change if you play the timeline.
If you save the .blend file and re-open it (and switch the 3dview to Rendered mode again), then it will start working and always update in the viewport as the current frame changes.

The original reporting user confirms that this fixes the problem for him too.
