WMV video file mistakenly identified as audio

Open romanofski opened this issue 5 years ago • 1 comments

We have found this specific wmv video file which file-type unfortunately identifies as an audio. Running it through a tool like ffprobe -show_streams -show_format video.wmv , you can see that it has multiple streams including video.

I'm filing this bug report not because I think file-type does something particularly wrong, but as a mere opportunity to improve the wmv mimetype detection.

Video file: https://drive.google.com/file/d/11lhYhs5a_e_iBMcCFwFJfyscUHCuoIIU/view?usp=sharing (67MB)

PS: Sorry for the google drive link, but any form of creating a small reproducer file failed :(
