@rohitjoins actually there’s nothing more to do, the fix does return the proper code that is supported by the decoder and in the case of that file properly ignore the invalid data at the end of it.

So simple fix to greatly improve resilience of the ffmpeg extension.

@Tolriq Thank you for sending the PR. I agree with the fix in the error message and will accept the PR soon. Overriding behaviour of ffmpeg to handle invalid data seems tricky and hard to maintain in the future. I believe we should mirror the ffmpeg extension when enabled.
