Comment (by ahthovaikied):
Wow, I didn't know that ffmpeg could "play" text files.
A few questions though:
- why are some text files rejected (as expected), and some others
identified as video files (very counter intuitively)?
- ffprobe is described as "media prober", so what does the fact that
ffmpeg can play a text file has anything to do with the nature of this
file which is certainly not a video with a 640x400 resolution?
Thanks
