I got a few files from my customer which ffmpeg can do nothing. I'm
getting "error reading header" without any details. I'm trying to read
metadata from these files and prepare them for streaming. The files are
playing well locally with VLC. It seems the files were corrupted somehow
but I can't understand what's wrong and how to fix them. I've already
tried all possible versions of ffmpeg: 3.4, 4.3, 6, 7 and git-master - the
same error all the time.
How to reproduce:
