instead of just resyncing and skipping a bunch of TS packets, leading to

Before this, a stray byte with the value of 0x47 in TP_extra_header
would throw off the detection of where TS packets start.

A typical file that could cause issues would look like this:

     00000300: 238f 4780 4750 1110 0000 01e0 0000 84c0
                    ^^   ^^
The first four bytes here are TP_extra_header and the actual TS packet
starts at offset 0x304

FFmpeg would try to read a packet at 0x300 but since nothing skips the
4 byte TP_extra_header, find that the first byte is not 0x47 and
immediately go into mpegts_resync, and incorrectly detect the stray 0x47
in the TP_extra_header at 0x302 as the new sync byte.

Fix this by correctly skipping the first 4 bytes if the source packet
is 192 bytes.

I think this doesn't work with mpegts_resync, since it always resyncs
for the packet start to be on the 0x47 marker, not 4 bytes before it.
So if sync is lost, it would never recover, if I read this right.


Since we're dealing with a special case for 192 byte packets here
anyway, maybe a special case in mpegts_resync that just checks if raw
size = 192 && [4] = 0x47 would handle this with less potential
fallout?

I've looked at this again and I don't see a way to gracefully handle it in mpegts_resync. It's much cleaner to just skip the header that's not relevant to us so we line up with the first packet being the sync byte.

FWIW this can be reproduced with

`ffmpeg -i <file> -c copy out.h264`
